Books like The Flavor Point Diet by David L. Katz

Think of your most addictive foods, the ones that make you lose control--they're usually a jumble of sweet, salty, and savory flavors. Eaten alone, none of those flavors will make you fat. But when you combine them (such as pairing a savory cheeseburger with salty fries and a sweet soda), you'll usually eat too much--even until you're painfully full--no matter how strong your willpower. From breakfast cereal to fast food, today's culinary landscape is crowded with an artificial surplus of conflicting flavors that overstimulate our brains' appetite-controlling cells. Learn how to optimize the flavors in your food, and you'll reach the Flavor Point--the moment of fullness and satisfaction--sooner, so the pounds come off faster...and stay off forever. You'll love every bite of The Flavor Point Diet because: It works. According to clinical research from Yale University, you can lose 9 to 16 pounds in 6 weeks and automatically continue to lose weight until you reach your goal. It includes delicious, healthful foods. People in a test group not only lost weight, they also lowered their blood cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure, and shrank up to 7 inches off their waistlines! It's convenient. Many dinners take 15 minutes or less to prepare, and breakfasts and lunches, just 5 minutes to prepare. It gets results for the entire family. Each recipe was tested and approved by children ranging in age from 5 to 15. With a guide to Flavor Point-approved brands, more than 100 fast and scrumptious recipes, a 6-week meal plan, and hundreds of tips, you'll stay "on point" effortlessly, lose weight easily, and reshape your body for good. --front flap
