The Metabolism Reset Diet: Repair Your Liver, Stop Storing Fat, and Lose Weight Naturally Kindle Edition

4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 1,483 ratings

Dr. Alan Christianson, top naturopathic physician and bestselling author of The Adrenal Reset Diet, introduces a four-week cleanse that heals damage to the liver, helping readers unlock the key to rapid weight loss and lower blood sugar.

The path to becoming naturally thin isn't as impossible as it may seem. In
The Metabolism Reset Diet, you'll unlock the key to rapid, sustained weight loss and lower blood sugar with a four-week cleanse that heals your liver and gives your metabolism new life. The hidden truth is that your liver is actually the key to a healthy metabolism. When it isn't functioning properly, it loses the ability to burn fuel. An overloaded liver can only store fuel as fat, which slows your metabolism and leads to excess weight gain. Even if you cut out sugar and carbs, you can still struggle with weight loss and high blood sugar.

With Dr. Alan Christianson's clinically proven program, you'll be able to reverse damage to your liver in just four weeks. Once your liver regains its ability to manage your metabolism, you'll have fewer food cravings, steady energy levels, better digestion, and a metabolism that works optimally. This proven diet is carefully constructed to provide your liver with the nutrients it needs without over fueling, supplying your body with healthy amounts of protein, fiber, micronutrients, and phytonutrients that support liver function. Unlike so many diets that require people to stick to a difficult and restrictive plan, following a liver-friendly eating plan will ensure that your weight and energy stay steady, even if your diet changes. Complete with comprehensive guidelines, meal plans, recipes, and advice on maintenance,
The Metabolism Reset Diet will help readers achieve optimal liver function to lose weight and get healthy fast.

This book is my new Health Bible! If your tired of being tired, and ever wonder why no matter what you do to try to look and feel healthy, as well as be able to loose not just weight but inches from your body, then you need to read this book! I’ve been a nurse for 8 years, and never knew some of the extremely important health information that this book has to offer, in reference to the liver. I love Dr. Alan Christianson, for writing such a wonderful gift of information, for everyone to be able to own ❤️

    I got the book while participating in Dr. C's 28 day challenge. The book contains all the information necessary to complete the program on your own at any time.
    The book is very informative, explaining both the program, the health benefits, & the reasons why this works in an easy to follow and understand manner. And it really works! Less than 2 weeks into the progran, I am down 4 lbs, and the sometimes crushing daily fatigue I have experienced for decades is gone! I am also sleeping better. And my muscle & joint pain is greatly reduced. Being able to wake in in the morning and feel rested, and not need to nap 2 to 3 times a day, just to make it to bedtime is something I never thought I'd be able to do again. I have actually had days where I wake before my alarm! The book is very well laid out. It has menus, recipes & shopping lists making this an organized and easy to follow program that can fit into the busiest schedule. This is not just about weight loss. This is about restoring your health & improving your quality of life.

    Update: The pros: the book is well written and the information seems to make sense; I did lose 4 lbs in 4 weeks, which is pretty good for me

    Then I took 2 weeks off, and did another 2 weeks, losing another 2 lbs.

    The reason I changed my rating to 5 stars is that during Thanksgiving and Christmas, I ate a lot, but did not gain more than a lb, which to me, was amazing.

    I have stopped the diet for 2 months now and have not gained the weight back, which totally shocked me.

    No, it's not super easy (bec you do get bored drinking just shakes for a month), but it's doable.
    I can't believe it actually does what it promises to do--change your metabolism.

    If you look at the research, everyone assumes your "set point" weight is set, and cannot be changed, or they tell you to do crap like lift weights and eat protein.

    When I was following traditional advice I was actually gaining weight (turns out whey protein makes you gain weight, as he says in the book)

    the Cons:
    In the book, he says to eat 20 grams of protein (the servings of his shakes), 3 times a day, but people of different weights need more protein. Then, somewhere else in the book, he says a 140 lb woman should eat 90 grams of protein. He should have indicated a more exact amount based on weight from the beginning. I began feeling really "hangry" after a week and realized that I was not getting enough protein. This issue was resolved after I upped my protein and started taking amino 23 supplement from Purium, which helped with hunger.

    I don't know what "expense" people are complaining about. A month's supply of what you need is only $120 from his website.

    As far as weight loss, I did lose 4 lbs by the end of the month (and I kind of cheated the last week), but I think that's a good amount. I went off of it for 2 weeks, as he suggests, now I will try to do another month to try to lose more, so I do think the diet works.

    First...the recipes in this book are simple, easy and delicious. I love that you can have a full dinner with healthy unlimited snacks in-between. The two shakes for breakfast and lunch, in my opinion is a bit tough. I like to actually eat my breakfast, not drink it. A shake for lunch, though - no problem! I'm also not sure that it has been proven that cutting caffeine is good for your liver - it's been discovered that a small amount of caffeine can actually help with diabetes and weight loss. Is having one cup of caffeinated tea or coffee really going to make a difference? I did enjoy reading this book and how your liver has such a huge job...so show it some love - absolutely! I believe this book has really good information in it that is easy to understand. Can you help your liver? Of course you can! Drink lots of water, cut out the bad stuff, eat your veggies, get some exercise and get some zzzzzz's...everything will probably start working better!
    UPDATE: I just had to write a quick update...I woke up this morning and oddly...my sweatpants were looser on me and my stomach was definitely flatter...I don't believe in using scales but I can tell that I've lost some weight!! I would guess it's about 1.5 pounds. This may not sound like much but for me this is huge because I have had no success with anything I've tried. I have only been loosely following this "diet" because I don't believe in diets per se. I was having two shakes (but they were whey protein because that's all I had) and I was trying to eat my veggies and have a sensible dinner. I have to admit though, I had several slip-ups (piece of dark chocolate here and there and I had two glasses of white wine with dinner during the past week) Regardless, I have still lost weight. I'm stunned and absolutely thrilled!!!!
    Needless to say, I'm going to read the book again and I have ordered the pea protein powder, carob powder, and the green banana flour so that this time I can follow the plan exactly. I'm starting fully on Monday and I can't wait to see my results after 7 days. I also did cut out some caffeine and boy oh boy can I tell how it's affecting me (withdrawal headaches are pretty bad)...so maybe caffeine is NOT such a great thing after all. I'm going to give it a try and cut it out of my diet all together...I think I have FINALLY found something that works - apparently my liver IS really responding - so excited!!! Thank you Dr. Christianson!! (btw: thanks to the video reviewer who said that she doesn't do diets and that she figured she could do anything for 7 days: this review is what really prompted me to buy this book b/c I felt the same way)

    Generally I am really fit person but over the last year I felt extremely tired and I put on some weight. As soon I bought this book with delicious, super food recipes after one month I have lost some weight and I felt buzzing with energy. I am the sports therapist. As my some regular clients saw me, they asked me what I have done to look so radiant and slimmer. So I keep recommending to my clients this book and the book is flying of the shelf! I should have some commission from the seller! Ha ha. You will love this food and you be never hungry. All day you going to feel light.

'Just lose weight by eating less and exercising more' they said - now I know why it hasn't worked. I am looking forward to doing the 30-day reboot and seeing the difference.
