Summary of The Metabolism Reset Diet Book by Dr. Alan Christianson

Metabolism is simply how the body converts food (fuel) into energy. With a healthy metabolism, you can slip in an extra slice of cake and still not gain weight. But a faulty mechanism will have you storing too much fuel, and this can lead to you gaining extra pounds or a host of other adverse effects — everything from brain fog to digestive problems, fatigue, diabetes, and various forms of cancer. One of the significant misconceptions people have is to think that some are born naturally with a good (or bad) metabolism. Metabolism is not as rigid as that, and as such, can be changed. You can move from an unhealthy one to a normal one. All you need to do is “clean out your liver so that it can burn fat better.”

Yes, you read that right. The liver is a vital organ when it comes to metabolism. Not only is it the most massive internal organ and the largest gland in your body, but it is also a powerful machine that acts as a filter to remove toxins. The liver also aids digestion and regulates hormones and blood sugar. Serving as the hub through which your body’s energy flows, it is responsible for processing everything you ingest and also functions as your body’s storage pantry.

Now imagine an unhealthy liver: instead of doing the right things, you end up storing fuel as fat, especially around your midsection, and then, you can no longer tap into the nutrients you need to burn fat. Hence, no matter which diet you choose — and how hard you try — weight loss is pretty much impossible. So, while a healthy liver can either store fuel or burn it, an unhealthy liver can only store it.

The author himself, having being born with cerebral palsy and epilepsy, also struggled with weight gain. He was obese at eleven years old. After trying several diets, and turning to books, he found secrets and solutions to his weight problems. This amazing discovery led to the creation of the metabolism reset diet program. Which is proven to have worked for people who have had countless diets fail them. The program helped them to not only lose weight for the first time, but also keep it off for years.

The Metabolism Reset Diet is carefully constructed to provide your liver the nutrients it needs without giving it more fuel to process. The 28-day program boasts of healthy amounts of protein, fiber, micronutrients, and phytonutrients that support liver function. In four weeks, you will be capable of eating healthily and maintaining your weight without any special effort. After liver function improves, people notice additional benefits like fewer food cravings, steady energy levels, less fluid retention, and better digestion.

Some will hit their weight goals in the four-week Reset; others will want to go further. So, you finish your first Reset and continue if you wish to lose more. Those who still want to lose more weight can repeat a Reset up to once per three months (four times per year) without slowing down their metabolism. On completing this book, you will be able to take control of your health and weight without having to follow a restrictive diet plan.
