Louis J. Aronne, M.D., an internationally recognised weight-management expert, has created the Change Your Biology Diet, a program that helps people lose weight, and keep it off, while understanding the hows and whys every step of the way.

He also includes lists of what to eat and avoid and the 10 rules of permanent weightless. At the heart of the book is a 6-week diet plan so readers can jump right in to a life-transforming program. In addition, Dr. Aronne offers alternative options to ensure the desired results are achieved. With this book, readers are able to adopt long-term improvements in habits, tastes, and lifestyle and start on the path to permanent, effective weightless.
