The Galveston Diet – Mary Claire

Description

A comprehensive, medically-tested eating and lifestyle program to balance nutrition and sustain weight loss—including more than 40 delicious recipes and 6 weeks of meal plans—tailored to women in perimenopause or menopause.

Women store more fat and have a tougher time converting calories than men do. In midlife, these differences are amplified by hormonal fluctuation, and most women gain stubborn and harmful weight—especially around the belly—without having altered their routine.

A practicing OB/GYN and nutritional expert, Dr. Mary Claire Haver found herself in this exact predicament, so she set out to develop a diet that would meet her needs. More than 68,000 women have now found success in Dr. Haver’s unique plan for permanent weight loss by following her three recommended strategies:

• Fuel Refocus: To effciently burn fat as fuel, women now need 70% healthy fats, 20% lean protein, and 10% quality carbohydrates.

• Intermittent Fasting: 16 hours of fasting with a flexible 8-hour eating window coaxes the body to draw energy from stored fat.

• Anti-inflammatory Nutrition: Now is the time to limit added sugars and processed carbs and layer in anti-inflammatory foods like leafy greens, olive oil, berries, nuts, and tomatoes.

With these three principles working together, women will lose stubborn weight as well as enjoy newfound energy, better sleep, less brain fog, and fewer hot flashes. Featuring forty delicious recipes, easy-to-follow meal plans, shopping lists, and success stories of women who have changed their lives on this plan, The Galveston Diet—named for Dr. Haver’s hometown—will revolutionize the conversation around weight loss in perimenopause and menopause, and help women gain health benefits that last a lifetime.
