It was more or less what I was expected. It gives a lot of answers and I was able to help a friend of mine to try L-tyrosine with p5p as well as DLPA and L-glutamine. She feels like a different person!

Testo interessante e molto specifico che spiega come sia possibile identificare e eliminare gli squilibri biochimici collegati all'alimentazione e alle dipendenze, attraverso strategie nutrizionali che comprendono l'utilizzo degli aminoacidi quali integratori nella dieta. E' un saggio piuttosto impegnativo da studiare con attenzione.

Since the birth of my last child, I had been bouncing around from diet to diet, beating myself up for not being able to control my cravings, feeling increasing anguish over how to get back to a healthy weight. . .and a healthy mind. I found myself obsessing about my weight as well as other areas of my life. I was exhausted and addicted to my afternoon Diet Coke. I couldn't figure out why calorie counting wasn't working well for me this time around. I figured that age and a slowing metabolism had caught up with me, still I was miserable and didn't know what to do. Enter "The Diet Cure." I came across a discussion of the book on a weight loss message board and decided to give it a try. I downloaded it to my iPad and immediately started reading. The author is a specialist in addiction recovery and had found success in dealing with the biochemical side of addictions. It's not just about willpower, but about our diet (more specifically, dietary deficiencies) and its relationship to our brain chemicals. She has a series of questionnaires intended to help you discover where your deficiencies lie. It made so much sense to me. The book is a little difficult to follow, especially in digital format. She has a chapter devoted to each area of deficiency and then, a separate chapter on what to do to correct it. I will probably buy the physical book, just to be able to flip back and forth more easily. I went online and bought my supplements, mostly amino acids. I required several different ones and it cost about $100 (vitacost.com is the least expensive, imo), which was an amazing bargain compared to what I paid this past year to lose weight (I've done bloodwork, joined Weight Watchers and even did the horrible Hcg diet). The author has a chart in her book that gives you a supplement schedule so you can take the proper doses spread throughout the day. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I felt better 24 hours after starting supplementation. It was a complete turnaround! My cravings completely disappeared. I stopped thinking about when and what I could eat next, and then berating myself for being hungry--again. I suddenly felt energetic and motivated. I could stay up in the evening and get housework and projects accomplished. I didn't feel like I had to run out and get a diet drink in the afternoon. A few times I was running errands and I wanted to stop and get one, but it wasn't so much for the caffeine boost as for the taste. It took less than a week to realize I didn't even need the taste any more. I can turn down desserts with ease. It's as though the allure of food is gone. I eat a small meal of whole foods, and I feel satisfied. Even years ago when I lost weight more easily, it was never this easy. I really never thought I would feel peace again over my weight and food. I thought I'd have to grit my teeth for the rest of my life (I'm a 40 year old female), constantly denying myself, giving in, and then beating myself up. It's astounds me that my problem was biochemical--but even more amazing is that there is a way to correct it. I can't recommend The Diet Cure enough. Thank you, Julia Ross!

I wanted to have a scientific basis for nuitrition. This book gives me the right knowledge. I will recommend it to my friends.
