Turn Up The Heat: Unlock the Fat-Burning Power of Your Metabolism

Here it is short and simple...I never dieted my whole life. I have now reached that over 45 age and experienced some shocking changes. OK, I figured I would starve myself for awhile, etc. etc. Result? I got fatter. My husband brought me this book and my first instinct was to toss it out, but he made me promise I would read it. Here I am thirteen weeks later and two sizes smaller. I have not been hungry one day. I believe so much in this program that I encouraged my sister to buy the book and to talk to our Aunt who is almost 80 yrs old and obese. After 10 weeks my sister lost 30 lbs and 4inches around her thighs. My Aunt lost 20 lbs after just 9 weeks. She actually walked a flight of stairs that she hasn't done in years. Her doctor is ecstatic! They are both sticking to it and said it is really easy to follow this program. I won't get into all the lab results, but for example my ratio went from 3.5 to 2.7! The best thing about this program is that I feed my family everything I eat! No special grocery lists that gets so expensive. We all like the change in our nutrition. This is a realistic way of eating and exercising. This is a change of life that is attainable for anyone. Also, I have called Phillip to ask questions...he actually called me back! He is great! He really listened and helped me. Thanks, Phillip! You will be hearing from my mother and father-in-law soon!

Philip Goglia changed my life...he SAVED my life! I have struggled with my weight my entire life; I hit the 180's in middle school, by my freshman year of high school, I'd pushed up to 200lbs. I have tried hundreds [probably thousands] of approaches to weight loss, nothing worked (at least not for long), then I found "Turn Up The Heat" and Philip Goglia! I read the book, and as we all are at the threshold of a new diet i was filled with myriad emotions...hope, disbelief, intrigue...but I was hooked by one thing; Philip takes a scientific approach, a BIOLOGICAL approach to the body--his plan was like nothing I had seen before in the diet world [but have seen copycatted many times since--make no mistake--accept no substitutions...if you want the real-deal on metabolic weight loss, look up Philip Goglia...anyone else is just a second-rate knock off!] I followed Philip's instructions, I had a lipid profile done, I did the calculations, found my metabolic type, and began his 12-week initial program...that saying, "Today is the first day of the rest of your life"...that had never meant anything to me, now it does. "Turn Up the Heat" puts forth a plan that is so simple, so comprehensible, and so easy to follow [eating real food, and more of it than I had ever eaten on a diet, or even off a diet]...if you follow Philip's plan, if you stick to it and don't cheat, you too will change your life; change it FOREVER. At the end of my first 12 weeks i had transformed from a weak, constantly exhausted 5'7" 220lb trying-to-fade-into-the-background shapeless blob; into a 5'8"[my posture is THAT much better!] lean 160lbs. I LOOK 10 years younger [I'm 38], I FEEL 20 years younger! I've kept the weight off [and continued leaning down...I'm well past my original goal of 140] for over a year. The thing about Philip's plan is that its not a "diet plan" at all; it's a learning experience. I didn't just diet, I learned an entirely different way of looking at eating, a realization of what food REALLY means in your body...and how my body personally uses foods...now I can gain, lose, build muscle, up my endurance...whatever I need to do toward whatever goal I am trying to achieve for myself. If you, like myself, have struggled your whole life; or if you've just put on a few pounds and want to take them off [and keep them off the rest of your life] there is ONE book you need to read, that book is "Turn Up The Heat" by Philip Goglia. Thank you, Philip; you changed my life forever!

While my motivation for buying this book and following the program was to lose a few pounds (and I have lost 5 already), the best thing is the change in my energy level. Wow! This is the first time in my life that I don't feel the need to take a nap at my desk after lunch. I was under the impression that eating a big lunch caused my energy lull at 3pm everyday, so I started skipping lunch. That just made me irritable AND tired. I can't believe that eating MORE is giving me so much energy and making me so much more productive at work. I feel like a new person! The Turn Up the Heat program is great and I recommend it for anyone who wants to feel good. For me, feeling good is making me look even better!

I have worked both professionally and as an amateur trainer for over 10 years. This book is one of the best books on nutrition I have ever read. Unlike fad diets, it is based on science and offers a sensible food plan and regiment based on your body's requirements. After assessing your current metabolism the book shows you how to apply it using easy to understand food charts that you can learn very quickly and easily. Best yet, you can modify the food charts to fit your own likes and dislikes. No counting calories, no complicated menus and no starving yourself. If you adopt the authors advice you will soon find that you are incorporating a lifestyle which empowers you to maintain your weight and feel great doing it.
