The Perfect 10 Diet is the first of its kind because it works by improving your
metabolism and optimizing the hormones that control health, weight, and aging.
It will help you lose weight while also delaying the aging process. It’s the perfect
marriage of a diet and an anti-aging plan in a single comprehensive source.
In this book, I discuss ten hormones. You will learn where each of the ten
hormones is manufactured in the body, the normal levels for those hormones,
which foods help boost or balance hormone levels, and which foods disrupt or
disturb hormone levels. The ten hormones are insulin and glucagon, which affect
food storage; leptin, which affects satiety and gives you a feeling of fullness;
growth hormone, which helps you grow and repair muscles and tissues; cortisol
and thyroxine, which affect energy levels; dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA),
which relieves fatigue and improves your overall sense of well-being; and the
sex hormones estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, which affect weight,
fertility, libido, and aging.
First, let’s discuss a huge difference between the Perfect 10 Diet and low-fat
diets. We’re constantly advised that following a low-fat diet will help us become
healthy and fit. We are also advised by the mainstream medical establishment to
avoid natural fats, such as butter, and instead use highly processed vegetable oils
for cooking. Following these recommendations has had a profound influence on
public health. Take a look around: are we winning the obesity battle? Sadly, our
health has deteriorated at an alarming rate, and we are facing an epidemic of
illnesses such as type II diabetes, heart disease, cancer, hypertension, and
obesity. Hmm...how can this be if we’re all trying to follow the dietary
guidelines we’ve been told are best for us?
Scientific research has shown that a low-fat/high-carbohydrate diet can
dangerously raise the bloodstream’s insulin levels. (Insulin is one of the
hormones that the Perfect 10 Diet helps balance.) High insulin levels can lead to
weight gain and increased hunger and can trigger disease development. Low-fat
diets completely ignore the negative impact of excess insulin on health.
Low-fat diets also have a huge negative impact on other hormones that the
Perfect 10 Diet addresses and helps to optimize. For example, recent research
indicates that saturated fats and cholesterolrich foods, which are condemned on
low-fat diets, have no relationship to heart disease. In fact, saturated fats and
cholesterolrich foods actually play a role in the production of sex hormones,
which maintain youth and prevent many of the old-age diseases.
Nonetheless, the “experts” tell us that healthy saturated fats such as butter are
deadly, when research indicates the health benefits of these good fats. It’s no
wonder that heart disease, diabetes, and cancer are becoming increasingly
