Why Women Suddenly
Gain Weight After 40 and
What To Do About It 

Dear Friend,

I’ll never forget the day my patient came to see me. I was shocked to see how she had ballooned up in just a couple of months. She used to be slim, trim and beautiful. Now her face was swollen, her body tight. She looked 52, not 42.

She sobbed, “ I feel like I’m 9 months pregnant with twins, this is the worst I’ve felt in years. I just can’t lose it, I’ve tried everything.”

I put her on the scale and cried when I saw she’d gained 30lbs in just two months. We talked for 20 minutes and I taught her the Fat Loss over 40 program.

Twelve weeks later she bounced into my office, oozing with enthusiasm and yelled, “ I did it! I’m back to my best weight, WOW does this feel great!”

She begged me to share this with other women. “There are so many women just like me who could benefit from what you know. You gota help them!”

What Makes the Difference
Between Fat and Thin

Have you ever tried to figure out, as I have, what makes the difference between women that stay trim and those that balloon out?

It isn’t that one woman wants to keep her figure and the other doesn’t.

In my years of the practice of medicine I’ve followed my passion in weight loss. I’ve discovered the differences between women that gain pound after pound and those who don’t. I’ve shared these Fat Loss Over 40 tips for Weight Loss with women who are my friends and patients, and now I want to share them with you. 

I’ve Learned the Hard Way

A few years ago, I struggled with my own weight.  I know as well as anyone how difficult it can be to lose weight.  I was determined to reach my goals.  Through dedication and discovery of what makes the difference – I did.  Now I’m thrilled to share my discovery with you and others like you.

I’d love to share a before and after photo with you but I couldn’t stand it and didn’t take any pictures!

Imagine Yourself Thin

Before I tell you more, imagine walking along the beach in your new bikini suit, you’ve achieved your goal weight and you look lean and sexy with curves in just the right places.  Men follow you with their eyes (they just can’t help it) and women envy your body and wish they could be “naturally thin” as you are.

Imagine your future.  Your life is working out better than you can imagine.  Sex is better than ever, you never knew it could be like this!  You just received a promotion at work.  Your boss now experiences you as successful and disciplined and feels you will represent the branch well at the regional meetings.  You’ve enjoyed spending part of your bonus on a new wardrobe, flattering your new slim figure.  You are even choosing styles you never thought you would be able to wear.  You are planning a trip to an island resort for next winter.

Co-workers and other friends have a new respect for you as a person.  They’ve seen you make these changes and they admire how happy you are and how easy it seemed to be for you to become so fit and trim.

The man you love is pleased that you have developed a sexy playfulness and humor that makes every day more fun than the last.  He is curious about what you will do next to please him.

It’s Easier Than You Think

I know all these changes are possible for you because I’ve seen them in my own life and in the lives of the women I coach.

Hormones Change

What changes in our bodies and our lives that makes our weight so out of control?

Hormones can be blamed for a lot of the weight gain.  Estrogen levels fall and just like when you were pregnant and breast feeding, the effect on appetite is profound.  You find yourself eating foods you would never otherwise consider, and large quantities too.  Nothing seems to satisfy the void and the pounds keep packing on.  Even if you are keeping the food choices within reason, what used to be no problem has now become a difficulty.  Pounds stick like never before.  You feel totally out of control.

Develop “Feel Good” Chemicals
in Your Brain

So you get angry, and that doesn’t help.  Maybe the anger is part of the hormone imbalance anyway.  The brain chemistry changes and there are actually less of the “feel good” chemicals like Seratonin available.  If you’re snappy at your family, you feel terrible and they start to wonder where the real you has gone.  You eat to stuff feelings and the pounds glob on.  

There are simple ways to increase Seratonin Levels.  For one thing, it’s now been discovered that Almonds contain a natural amino acid called L-Phenylalanine that is a direct parent of Seratonin.  Eating Almonds or taking L-Phenylalanine will improve the blues.

Check Your Thyroid

As if changes in Estrogen were not enough, other hormones begin to fail you.  Thyroid production goes down and if it goes undiagnosed for long it causes profound weight gain and fatigue.  One simple home check for low thyroid is basal body temperature.  Get a $5 basal body thermometer at your local pharmacy and take readings every morning when you first wake up.  Don’t even get out of bed before taking your reading.  If the readings are consistently below 97.5 degrees, you need your thyroid checked at the doctor’s office. A simple blood test will give you the answers you need.

Growth Hormone Turns Fat to Muscle

As time goes on, Growth Hormone levels also fall.  Naturally, Growth Hormone levels are the highest in children.  In pregnancy your Growth Hormone is naturally high also.  (That’s why you may have gone up half a shoe size with your pregnancy.)  When the levels fall, your ability to reduce weight with exercise plummets. 

There are things you can do to increase your exercise efficiency.  In my Fat Loss Over 40 program I will share with you how to maximize your Growth Hormone naturally.  I will give you the Key to making 2 minutes of exercise as effective as 1 hour on the treadmill.

Low Fat Diets Make You Stupid

Time and again the medical world tells you that Low Fat is the answer.  I’m here to tell you that very Low Fat diets can really be dangerous.  Did you know that 80% of the dry weight of the brain is Cholesterol?  Just think for a minute what that means.  If you don’t provide cholesterol to the body you could actually lose brain function!  It’s also true that ALL of the hormones in the body are made of Cholesterol.  That is, Cholesterol is the building block from which all hormones in the body are made.  So it’s really important to eat a wide variety of foods, even the one’s that most doctors will tell you not to.

Cure High Blood Pressure

The fact is that Obesity (and let’s face it, that’s the medical term if you’re more than 30lbs overweight) leads to many serious health problems.  In recent medical studies, we have found that high blood pressure varies precisely according to weight.  If the weight stays high and the blood pressure stays high, heart attack, stroke and other health crises occur.  I’ve seen fat women with strokes.  It’s not easier to get around in a wheelchair if you’re 50lbs overweight. 

When the pounds come off the High Blood Pressure comes down point by point; pound by pound. 

Cure Diabetes

Diabetes is the new epidemic of our culture.  The effect of Obesity on diabetes is a one-to-one relationship.  Diabetes is really the inability for the body to metabolize sugar.  The fatty tissue actually makes insulin unavailable for the body to digest sugar.  This causes the sugar levels to rise pound for pound with the extra weight.  The real problem is that if you use insulin shots to control sugars, they cause weight gain!  This is a round-and-round game that ends in Kidney failure, amputation, heart attack and so on.

Getting to a healthy body weight CURES DIABETES 90% of the time.

Prevent Breast Cancer

Breast Cancer is now associated directly with Obesity.  We know that fatty tissue changes the actions of hormones in the body increasing the estrogen levels and causing increased Breast Cancer risk.  If you think you’re safe because you’re not taking hormones, think again.  If you are 30lbs overweight or more, your fatty tissue is producing it’s own Estrogen and seriously increasing your risk of Breast Cancer.

Getting to your goal weight decreases your risk of Breast Cancer by 50%.

 Most Doctors Don’t Help

Now, I suppose you have had the experience of going to the Doctor to get help with your weight.  Most doctors have a standard approach to weight loss.  Your doctor probably recommended a Low Fat diet with Calorie Restriction and told you to exercise more.  Then he or she subtly blamed you for being the way you are, you knew he was thinking you’re lazy, dumb and stupid.  Then the charge for the visit was upwards of $200.

You went home dejected and upset. 

You know you’ve already tried these things and they DO NOT WORK. 

Pills Can Kill

Otherwise, you went to the doctor and they gave you a pill or a combination of pills (that also cost a small fortune and are not covered by insurance).  If you didn’t get a heart valve replacement from the Fen-Phen combination then you probably got no results at all from the medicine that doctor gave you.  If you did lose 10lbs in 3 months (which is their standard for success), then you gained it all back again when you quit the pills.

Prozac can Make Things Worse

And another thing, if you went to the doctor depressed about your life and how miserable you feel, he may have given you Prozac.  Part of why you’re feeling upset is your weight, you tell him, and the fact that you can’t get it off.  Now, little did you know that those pills were going to single-handedly pack on another 20-40lbs.  What do you do now?  My program will teach you how to cope with depression using the natural resources you already have.

Diets Don’t Work

You and I both know that no diet is ever going to have long term results in weight loss.  You’ve probably tried them all.  From Low Carb and High Fat to Low Fat and High Carb, Grapefruit diet, Peanut diet, right down to starving yourself or Binging and Purging. Did any of that work for you?  If it did, you’re a better person than me.

Save Your Money

If you added it up over your lifetime you probably spent thousands of dollars on exercise equipment, from the machine gathering dust in your home, to the little gadgets that contract your muscles for you.  If not exercise equipment, then $40 bottles of supplements that had the active ingredient of Caffeine or some other useless herb.  Or maybe you spent hundreds of dollars on specially packaged frozen meals that eventually all taste the same (like cardboard).

You Will Not Look Back

In any case, every mistake or dollar spent up till now will not matter to you once you begin to experience the results of my Fat Loss Over 40 program.  You will be happy, walking along the beach looking peachy in your new bikini.  You’ll never look back.

Not a Diet and Exercise Program

My Fat Loss Over 40 program has little to do with diet or food choices.  Nor is it based on hours of exercise per day.  (Who can do that with job, kids etc.) 

I’m not going to ask you to buy special exercise equipment, or start pills that you have to take for the rest of your life (and at the risk of your health).

There is more than I can possibly tell you in one letter so that’s why I created my Fat Loss Over 40 program.  I created all the materials to assist you in being successful at the changes needed to achieve permanent weight loss.  

An Invitation to Success

But first let me explain.  This is an unusual offer because I don’t want your money, I want your success.  I am now collecting material for my next book.  I will be using examples of real-life successful women.  Women that have reached goal weight and stayed there.  I am inviting you to contribute your story to my collection.  I need the personal stories of you and women like you.

So this is an invitation.  An invitation to join my Success Group.

I want your before and after photo, your personal story and eventually two and five year follow-up if you chose.  I want to celebrate your permanent and continued success in achieving your goal weight and your new body!

An Offer to Buy Your Story

That’s why in the offer you’ll see that I’m willing to pay $200 to you for providing me with your success story.

You may be asking how much this fantastic program costs.  But, before I get to that, let me explain that this is a pet project for me.  I don’t need your money.  I am a successful Medical Doctor with plenty to do besides this.

A Warning

And there’s one more thing you should know about someone trying to sell you something.  If they need your money you had better hold onto your purse.  And that goes for diet supplements, diet foods, diet books, diet clubs and so on.  You had better run the other way from those. I make my real money elsewhere, I’m just trying to help you!

No Couch Potatoes

I don’t want any Couch Potatoes either.  If you plan to sit back and have someone do it all for you, you’ve got to be kidding.  I’ve outlined the easiest way I know to lose weight.  I’ve given you every tool you could possibly need to be successful.  If you’re not willing to lift a finger, leave the book for someone who will really use it.

Join the Success Group

I want Success Group members.  Women who want to make a permanent and joyful change in their lives that will benefit themselves and the people around them.  Spending 15 minutes a day is all it takes.

So I’m offering this program for only my cost.  This is what I’ve spent to create this program and offer it to you:

Web design - $15,000
Product development and research $10,000
Printing and Production $5000
Advertising - $15,000
Misc expenses - $2000

So that’s $47,000 of my cost just to produce this program.

Limited Number Available

The book will stay on the market a short time and will be replaced with other much more expensive materials shortly!

But I’m not satisfied.  I want to make this Fat Loss Over 40  program available to you.  So I’m going to slash the price to $27.97 for the e-book if you buy now!

Success Comes Naturally

When you receive my book online, you’ll be so excited to get started.  The lessons are easy and come naturally to you.  Some of this is so simple you’ll wonder why they don’t teach this in grade school.  It certainly would have saved you a lot of grief if they had.  It would have saved you the misery of feeling so out of control and helpless. It would have saved you the humiliation of insults and the unspoken disgust of others.

There’s Nothing Wrong With You

There isn’t anything wrong with you.  You’ve just been given the wrong information.  Once you have the right tools, making the changes you want will seem effortless.  Once you are exposed to this information you will start behaving differently, even if you don’t consciously make a decision to do so.  This will change your life permanently.

When you begin to understand my Fat Loss Over 40 program in Weight Loss, it will seem so simple and common sense that you will wonder how you didn’t figure it out yourself. 

I can’t promise you that just by choosing to purchase my Fat Loss Over 40 program you begin your own journey to success and that you’ll shortly achieve your goal, but I can say that you will have all the necessary tools if you should chose to use them.

Let Me Celebrate Your Success

Now, I hope when the moment of recognition comes, when you know you’ve been successful and you are enjoying the results of you success, that you’ll remember me.  I hope you’ll be willing to give me a few moments of your time to celebrate your success with you.  I hope you’ll remember to take the “after” photo and allow me to use your story in my book.

But, if you’re so busy enjoying the life you’ve always wanted, that you tell me, “I’ll call you later”.  I won’t shed any tears.  I’ll be celebrating your success right along with you.  My heart will be joyful that you’ve been given a new lease on life and you’re grabbing the opportunity with both hands.

Then I will know that I’ve been successful in my heart’s desire; to provide you a way out of misery; a way to gain control of your life; a way to earn the admiration of others; a new way of success.

You Have Choices

Don’t BUY NOW and continue to gain weight uncontrollably.  The definition of a Lunatic is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
