Free (Kindle/Nook/Sourcebooks) Perfect 10 Diet [Weight Loss Self-Help]

Perfect 10 Diet: 10 Key Hormones That Hold the Secret to Losing Weight and Feeling Great-Fast! by Michael Aziz, MD, is just what it says in the title, free courtesy of publisher Cumberland House.

Currently free @ Amazon (not available to Canadians). I don't recall previous any previous Cumberland freebies, so this may show up elsewhere, but very likely geo-restricted to the US.

Also, when someone tries to start a new fad/buzzword-based diet, beware. The inventor of the Atkins Diet died young with his arteries severely clogged, IIRC. He was a doctor, too.

Even though it may have occasionally useful results, focusing too much on "alternative" medicine is not always a good sign.

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

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.

Dr. Atkins died at age 72 after slipping on ice & suffering a traumatic brain injury.

Lower carb, higher fat diets aren't really new or a fad (the original "Atkins Diet" came out 40 years ago). Current studies are showing that it's a very healthy way to eat if processed foods are avoided. What I am wary of is people who jump onto any particular bandwagon with their own "special" version, giving it their own personal little "twist", most likely in the hopes of making a bunch of money.

But thanks for the freebie alert, anyway!

Huh. So I don't recall correctly, although ISTR some popular gimmick-diet inventor ironically dying of causes related to their own invention. Could just be an urban legend, though.

Thanks for the correction!

This is also free @ B&N as it turns out Cumberland is an Adams Media imprint, but I can't link you right now since I'm typing from device on public transit, sorry.

I checked earlier and again just now - still $10.19 at B&N for me, so be careful trying to get it free.

Found it: free for nook.

Turns out the umbrella publisher is actually Sourcebooks and it's also free directly from them in ADE-ePub & PDF (US & territories only).
