The 7 Principles of Fat Burning is not necessarily for people who can lose weight easily; it is for those who have a very stubborn metabolism.

(from the 7 Principles of Fat Burning Dr. Eric Berg)

Have you ever felt that it shouldn’t be so hard or take so much effort to lose even a little bit of weight? Well, the last thing you need is
another diet! If you are simply told what to eat and it doesn’t work for you, you’ll chalk up a loss and go on to the next diet, creating further losses, and then think there is a problem with you, that you have poor willpower (an inability to stick with something).

Working with thousands of individuals has led me to believe that people really do not have a problem with willpower they simply have never been taught the right way to lose weight. No one is going to stick with a program that’s not working. But if you do the correct thing and you know how to do it, it will work and you will stick with it. In my clinic, I have found that the missing link is an educational step. Once a person has the background and understanding of HOW fat is burned and HOW health is created, they succeed. But if you simply tell them what to do, you’ve done nothing for them of any lasting value. There are so many weight loss books out there that say, “Scientific studies have shown . . .” or ”Everyone knows . . .” or ”Experts say . . . ” That type of approach is very far from conveying understanding.

This book is different.

I want to help you solve a big problem: stubborn weight. To do that, we must first make sure we have identified the correct problem. Many people are attempting to fix the wrong problem: their weight (which is actually the symptom). You also need to know what controls metabolism hormones because you are going to use these hormones to work for you instead of against you. Hormones are chemical messages produced by glands. You have six fat-burning and three fat-making hormones, and each is triggered by different things. Might it not be a good idea to know what these are and how to trigger them? The 7 Principles of Fat Burning is not necessarily for people who can lose weight easily; it is for those who have a very stubborn metabolism. The 7 Principles of Fat Burning gives you the most effective leverage over weight loss because it addresses the very things that control weight loss fat-burning hormones. To my knowledge, no other book in existence gives you an easy-to-understand summary of how to use food and activities to trigger all of your fat-burning hormones. Most people don’t even know these exist, let alone how to get them to work…
