The Old Chocolate Diet: Advanced Nutrition for Gourmands
Do you know the difference between people who can eat whatever they feel like eating and remain slim, as opposed to people who gain weight even when they try to diet and eat very little?
There is not only one, but three survival mechanisms responsible this difference:
1. insulin resistance – which decreases your metabolism both when you undereat and when you overeat – increasing your body fat percentage in both of these situations;
2. leptin resistance – which decreases your ability to perceive satiety when… well, there is more than one “when” at work in leptin’s case, all explained in this book – increasing your hunger;
3. dopamine resistance – which decreases your ability to perceive the pleasure of eating (or any other pleasure, for that matter) when you allow yourself intermittent access to your favorite foods – increasing your cravings.
If you are part of the many people who gain weight even when eating as little as they possibly can, and you want to become one of the few people who stay slim even when eating anything they like, read this book today! You’ll not only learn how these survival mechanisms cause your mind to keep you obese, but you’ll also learn how to create your very own premium diet. And after you’ve read the book and created your diet, you’ll learn how to apply it, to become as slim and as healthy as you ever wanted to be.
To your fat loss success!

About the author
Diana Artene
11 books16 followersDiana Artene is a licensed physical therapist and a nutritionist specialized in nutrition for weight loss and children nutrition. She advocates a healthy lifestyle in which all foods can be eaten and no long workouts are necessary to be fit and slim as long as we are fully informed.
Her brutally honest book “5 Gears Diet” provides all the information we ever needed to know about fat gain and fat loss, so we can get how these mechanisms work once and for all. Although she believes in free will and that our weight reflects the choices we've made, she clearly describes the limits of your responsibility and completely dismisses self blame.
Her books are easy to read and very visual practical guides. And even though her work is based on human physiology and biochemistry, she found a way to keep science simple. As Einstein once said, “If you cannot keep it simple, you haven’t understood it well enough”.

When I first saw this book I thought “Chocolate diet? YES PLEASE”. I also went vegan for 2 years when my grandfather killed a cow I helped birth. I asked where my ‘Moo’ was and he replied "You’re eating him”. Still can’t look at hamburgers the same. I think I learned a lot from this book. I’m looking forward to starting what I’ve learned. Diana Artene made everything so easy to read and understand. This is a great ‘new years resolution’ book. This is the diet book for people who don’t like traditional diets. 5/5
