Editorial Review: No more counting carbs, calories, or fat grams! This revolutionary diet plan works with your hormones to curb your appetite, boost your metabolism, and take the pounds off for good!
Cutting-edge research shows that losing weight is not about carbs, calories, or even willpower—it’s about a hormone called leptin, and how it functions in your body. Leptin is your body’s natural weight-loss mechanism: it curbs your appetite, jump-starts your metabolism, and when working properly makes you literally fat resistant—you will lose weight effortlessly and efficiently and never gain those pounds back.
If you’re struggling to lose weight, chances are you are “leptin resistant”—your body no longer responds to leptin, making it impossible for you to slim down. The Fat Resistance Diet is the first and only eating plan designed specifically to combat leptin resistance and reprogram your body to start melting away the pounds...

Love it, Live it., 2008-06-28
Tastiest diet ever. It is very filling. I actually enjoyed making the recipes, which for someone who hates cooking is extraordinary. I bought a steam pot, which actually cooks the chicken in much less time, and I've found that I actually love preparing the food. I loves mincing the garlic and onions, and tomatoes. I'm in love with this diet, which is the only diet I've tried that has lifelong potential. Not to mention I'm FULL. I'm full after eating less. I've been trying to cut my portions in half without any luck, I've tried it again with this diet and I haven't been hungry since.

Some valuable information., 2008-06-16
This book, The Fat Resistance Diet by Leo Galland, provides a lot of information on the problem of inflammation in the human body and why it occurs. It relates to the hormone leptin (dicovered in 1996), but do not buy this book if you want accurate info on getting your leptin back in balance. Buy The Leptin Diet by Byron Richards, instead (check out my review of his book for more info).
Galland's book encourages snacking, but snacking is one of the major reasons leptin gets out of balance. This book has excellent information about eating healthfully and naturally, so it is valuable for that topic, as well as his research on inflammation, but recommending snacking is contradictory to leptin balance.
This book has an endorsement by Dr. Mehmet Oz, Oprah's doctor. It just goes to show you that even the doctors on the cutting edge of medicine don't know much about nutrition and fail to realize that people need to stop eating 6 meals a day. Human digestion is designed to accept 3 meals a day, 5-6 hours apart, which is fact based on the basic science of biology, metabolism and digestion. This is a major problem since, as a country, we are told that we need to eat frequently, which is a myth. If you read Byron Richards' book, you'll understand why. Richards is a clinical nutritionist, which may be the reason his book contains the accurate nutritional information we need.

The Fact Resistance Diet, 2008-06-12
The Fat Resistance Diet is a must read if you are serious about your health. In many ways it is not all that revolutionary in the sense of its recommendations - eat more greens and vegatables, less red meat, etc. - but it gives rationales and more importantly recipes and meal plans for some delicious meals. My wife and I have been on it for about three months and both of us have lost weight, sleep better and are never hungry. (In fact we seldom eat the portions the recipes indicate.) Be prepared to spend a bit more time cooking - prepared foods are forbidden. Otherwise - we love it!

The Fat Resistance Diet - Finally One That Works, 2008-02-22
The Fat Resistance Diet: Unlock the Secret of the Hormone Leptin to: Eliminate Cravings, Supercharge Your Metabolism, Fight Inflammation, Lose Weight & Reprogram Your Body to Stay Thin-
At the request of my Dr. I ordered this book. Due to joint replacements and overall health problems I have gradually gained weight. He felt this book would help because the diet addresses the issue of Leptin (a hormone in the brain that helps your body process fat) not functioning in the way it should. Inflammation in the body influences how the Leptin processes fat and if you have a lot of inflammation chances are your Leptin is not functioning like it should be.
I started the diet and 10 days later I had lost 8 lbs. The swelling in my feet and legs was down considerably. I saw my Dr. for a check-up yesterday and he was thrilled with my progress and so am I. I always thought I ate healthy, but I found out I don't. Now I am learning to with the help of The Fat Resistance Diet.
My husband is following the diet with me and has lost more weight then I have, but he is more active, also.
The meals are good and pretty easy to fix once you get used to chopping up lots of vegetables. The meats are mainly fish and chicken with beef allowed once a week. You eat 8-9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. It is a different way of eating and I think a person just has to get their mind wrapped around the fact that they need to eat better or be ill.
The book included daily meal plans and all the recipes. It even has a grocery shopping list.
The Fat Resistance Diet has helped me so much in a short time and I am excited to see how I feel in a month or two.
