Product Description
Lose up to 14 Lbs in 21 days! Doctor Designed, Easy to Follow, Proven Success The latest medical research shows hormones are the key to weight loss. Your hormones control how your body uses the foods you eat, whether it's used for energy or stored as fat. The Perfect 10 Diet balances these key hormones so you: * Lose weight fast without going hungry (hunger wrecks diets)
* Have more energy!
* Start to lose weight without exercising (up to 80 pounds)
* Reverse the aging process and look younger for life What Doctors Are Saying About The Perfect 10 Diet "The Perfect 10 Diet program finally answers many of the questions that you have always wanted to know about weight loss. If weight loss was just a problem of calories in and calories out, everyone would be the weight they want to be. Congratulations to Dr. Michael Aziz for bring us this informative book on answers to one of the biggest medical problems of our time."
—Pamela W. Smith, M.D., MPH
Director Masters Program in Medical Science with a Concentration in Metabolic and Nutritional Medicine, University of South Florida School of Medicine " A must read. Dr. Aziz addresses how food interacts with hormones in this amazing book."
—Keith Berkowitz | MD, former director of the Atkins Center " Filled with insightful science, presented in an accessible manner, to help you take action now."
—Ronald Klatz | MD, DO, president of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine The Breakthrough Diet That Gets Real-Life Results Because The Perfect 10 Diet works with your hormones, people see results fast—up to 14 pounds in the first 21 days. Other diet fads, whether they are low-fat or low-carb, wreak havoc on your hormones, which is why these diets are hard to stay on and the weight comes back the moment you stop. Dr. Michael Aziz has personally worked with more than a thousand patients who lost an average of 10-14 pounds in the first three weeks on the diet, and who also showed remarkable improvement in the markers for heart disease, blood pressure, diabetes and more. Their overall health improved significantly. And they did it all while eating great food, feeling full after their meals and having more energy!

Below are just a few of the real-life results people have had on The Perfect 10 Diet: SHARON: Sharon weighed 264 pounds despite a twenty-one-year struggle to control her weight through more than her share of low-fat, low-carb and fad diets. Within two years of starting The Perfect 10 Diet, Sharon lost 132 pounds by giving up the "fake" foods she thought were healthy. Better still, she has kept the weight off and enjoys increased energy and confidence.
MARK: Thirty-five-year-old Mark weighed 260 pounds at 5'9", with a high 40 percent body fat reading. He suffered from severe headaches, was pre-diabetic, and had high blood pressure. Mark lost 90 pounds in 10 months on The Perfect 10 Diet. His headaches were gone, and his insulin, blood pressure, and body fat were all at normal levels—plus, he has never felt better in his life. MARY: Mary had gone from a size four to a size twelve in two years' time, weighing 160 pounds at 5'4". Despite a low-fat diet, she struggled with high cholesterol. Within 3 months of starting The Perfect 10 Diet, Mary lost 23 pounds and lowered her cholesterol to a normal level by doing exactly what she always thought she shouldn't—increasing her fat intake in conjunction with eliminating refined and processed foods. And these are just a few of the people whose lives have been changed through The Perfect 10 Diet. Here are a few more: "I went from a size 24 to a 6, and I love it!"
—Nancy A. "I have lost seventy pounds on The Perfect 10 Diet in sixteen months and my fasting insulin level has dropped from 40 to 4. The Perfect 10 Diet allows me to eat more fat from butter, coconut, and avocados, which I avoided for years believing they were bad for my cholesterol. Who could ask for anything more? Nothing tastes as good as thin feels."
—Julie "Eat anywhere, eat healthy meals, and enjoy the food I love? How easy is that?"
—Carol Z. "At age 50, I feel like I'm 20 again."
—Ted S. "I love the Perfect 10 Diet. I lost 44 pounds on this amazing, one-of-a-kind diet."
—Sharon K. Today, medical research has a much better understanding of how hormones affect weight. By balancing your hormones with the right food choices you can not only start losing weight fast but you can make an enormous difference in your life or in the life of someone you love.

 Lost 23 pounds so far. And this book is life changing. December 28, 2009

I had an advance copy of this book from Book Expo and I put it to the test starting in mid-September. So first, I am a diet failure. I have failed on every diet I've ever tried so I was really nervous about trying this one and assumed that it too wouldn't work. And I was really shocked when I started to lose weight. And my family was too!!! So I kept a chart and this diet really worked (and it's still working!!)
So now I'm at 23 pounds (hoping to make 25 pounds by the New Year). But what's important (I think) is the many ways that it's changed me. At Thanksgiving the kids were shocked (I mean really shocked) when I started playing football and frisbee golf outside with them. I have so much more energy. I feel clearer (like my head is clearer). My husband says there's 4 or 5 inches gone from my waist. I've had to buy new clothes. And it's easy to travel with (I travel a lot) and to entertain with (entertain a lot too). You know exactly what you can and can't eat and you don't ever go hungry because it's really about what you eat (it's about the hormones).
So while I've tried lots of diets, this is the first one that's ever worked for me. And now I have a plan to have all the extra weight gone (I needed to lose 60 pounds in total...so am 1/3 of the way there) by my next birthday. And I think I can do it. It's all about balancing hormones. Got it!
A 10 for The Perfect 10 February 7, 2010

I bought the book around the same time that I received the CD version of this diet. Let me tell you, if you really want to lose weight, this is a diet that you can finally stick to. Forget low-carb, low-fat, high protein and all those other fad diets. This is finally a diet tht is balanced and sensible and, most importantly, doable for most people.
Do you remember when you were young and you could eat just about whatever you wanted. Then came diets. It seemed that the more you dieted, the more weight you ultimately gained! But...most of us had parents, grandparents, or older relatives who ate real butter and cream, had eggs every day for breakfast, and yet remained slim all their lives. How did they do that and why can't we?
Well, Dr. Aziz gives you the science behind why their eating habits worked and why they can still work for us today. He identifies 10 major hormones and tells why they get out of whack with today's eating habits, and discusses the devastating effects upon our bodies and health. BTW, Dr. Aziz is referring to The Perfect 10 as in great health, not being a perfect 10 in physic...although that is likely to happen if you follow his eating plan.
He tells us that we need MORE fat in our diets to help with appetite control, but that the fats must be wholesome and real (none of those manufactured chemicals of fake fat), and that they must be balanced with protein and carbohydrates. His basic formula is 40% carbs, 40% fats, and 20% protein. He emphasizes quality and organic foods are key elements to this diet. He also pretty much forbids sugar and refined carbohydrates as being empty calories and creating a yo-yo effect upon insulin and other body hormones. In essence, following this diet will enable your blood sugar to level out resulting in you feeling better and having more energy. This diet is similar to The Zone and The Flat Belly Diet but with more added fat and greater balance. Most of us don't have the will-power to give up fats forever and Dr. Aziz doesn't encourge that. Balance is the emphasis of this diet.
I have both the book version and the CD verion. I didn't think I would like the CD version but I do. It comes with 8 CDs, each about an hour long, and which are easy to follow, plus a non-audio bonus CD which includes much of the book including the charts, recipes, and a whole lot more. It would have been a bit more convenient if a mini-book had been tucked into the CD package but this is a good addition.
If you intend to follow this diet plan, you will need a good calorie/nutrient book to supplement your plan. I recommend The Complete Food Counter by Natow and Heslin which not only lists most major food components and brands, but calories, protein, fat, carbs, cholesterol, fiber and sodium. It also has a pretty good listing of menus from major food chains which is helpful for following the diet while eating out.
If you're tired of feeling sluggish, not sleeping well, depressed, and overweight, try this diet. It's easy to follow and it just might be the answer you're looking for...finally!
so glad I bought this book February 5, 2010

I was very skeptical when I first bought this book, but it TRULY is life changing. I have never been a health nut and not really interested in diet books but this is actually a really good read. I have lost 10 lbs. in 2 1/2 weeks and more importantly, I feel better. My cholesterol, triglycerides, and sugar levels have decreased dramatically. Sometimes the Dr.'s tone is a little hard to take...he seems a little pretentious. But I respect what he is doing and I am so glad I came across this diet. I have to say, it's a real eye-opener folks...we have basically been lied to at the expense of our health all in the name of higher profits. Give the diet a try...I don't think you will regret it.
Really GOOD! January 30, 2010

As a doctor who has used nutrition extensively in his practice for over 20 years, I applaud this book ... and the efforts of Dr. Michael Aziz. His discussion about the relationship between food and hormones is right on the button.
This is an important ... and practical book as well.
My only criticism is that the discussion on cleansing is weak (I could be sensitive to this, as this is an area of expertise for me).
I also would like to add that there could be more attention paid to biochemical individuality. For example, some people do better with snacking ... others don't.
I applaud Dr. Aziz for his clarity and courage ... and his desire to get accurate information out to the world.
BRAVO!
PS: The recipes look great!

It is more of a lifestyle book. The book is about eating right and healthy, not just losing weight, but being smart about the food and chemicals your put in your body. I love the book. I am losing weight easily. Basically it is a no sugar diet, eliminating unhealthy oils and preservatives. I feel like I am doing the right thing for healthy living. If you are serious about your health this is a good book.
