All humans are distinctly different and there is no perfect diet that works for everyone. Mannie's Diet led to one author losing more than 80 pounds and the other losing 20. They both continue to lose weight without much effort. This book enlightens and empowers people to lose weight and improve their health. We simplify overly technical information into common descriptions. We offer a new approach to losing weight and improving your health that exposes the dangers of dangerous chemical food additives and chemicals that cause addiction. The authors' latest book, It's Not Your Fault, explores the causes of weight gain and obesity. Your so-called "healthy foods" are making you fat and ill. By creating your own diet based upon our theories, the diet you create will change your life, cause you to lose weight and also prevent arthritis and gout caused by inflamation, allergy, intolerance or genetic predisposition. There is no question that pesticides, preservatives and addictive chemical additives in food are the cause of weight gain and many other health problems. This diet points out the dangerous chemicals in packaged foods and offers better choices. By removing these chemicals from your diet and reducing excess uric acid in your blood system, organs and muscles, you can prevent inflammation, weight gain and obesity. This diet provides practical examples of what has been successful for the authors. It is a philosophical change of lifestyle for people that eliminates all offensive foods from their daily diets while identifying the good foods their bodies can digest. Once you eliminate all the foods causing you to be ill, it becomes your diet not Mannie's Diet anymore. It includes an analysis of packaged foods and beverages sold in markets, convenience stores and in restaurants as well as providing organic recipes and examples of daily meal menus. Everyone will find foods they can eat safely while identifying the ones that make them gain weight or become ill. Creating your own personal elimination-style diet and taking our natural enzyme formula can be your answer. It was for us. Natural enzymes cost under $100 per month. The relatively low cost of the diet is enhanced by the savings in the cost of prescription drugs, lost work days, fewer doctor visits, fewer expensive tests, no emergency room trips and the ability to attend more business and social functions with fewer aggravating symptoms and less pain. Along the way, a person will learn how their body works, how to balance their pH, what homeostasis is and how homeostasis works in the human body. It will also replace depleted enzymes and improve organ function. One of our principal goals is to stop "chronic silent inflammation" that leads to weight gain, obesity, delayed food allergies and intolerance as well as diseases like Crohn's, IBD, IBS, MS and diabetes. By eliminating silent inflammation, you will effectively stop, minimize or control arthritis, gout and other illnesses. We provide the results of five years of research, testing, charting and the preparation of organic meals to create a daily diet and meal plans that incorporate foods tailored to each individual's desires and needs. We cite more than 1,500 medical treatises, journals, surveys, tests and periodicals in support of their facts, theories and opinions in the References section of this book. You can look up every theory and opinion and read the source material for yourself.
