This volume tackles what the author believes is the root cause of weight gain. Our own natural weight control system is being poisoned by the toxic chemicals that we encounter in our everyday lives - this damage makes it increasingly difficult for our bodies to control their own weight, so we end up getting fatter even if we eat less food. This detox diet approach tells you how the avoid the most "fattening" chemicals, or "chemical calories" in your food and around your home. It explains how to shed your body's load of chemical calories safely, and rebuild your natural slimming system. Not only should you lose all your excess weight, but you may never have to struggle with the scales again. In addition, the long-term health benefits and the boost to your energy levels should prove beneficial.
