If your body no longer responds to leptin, it may be impossible for you to slim down. This diet reprograms your body to start melting away the pounds. Using a combination of anti-inflammatory and hormone-balancing foods, the 3 phase regimen claims a quick weight loss, then an easy to maintain steady reduction as you enjoy over 100 delicious recipes designed to transform your body into a lean, fat-fighting machine.
