New Year / New You!; THE FLAVOR POINT DIET, The Research-Proven Diet That Enables You to Lose Weight Quickly, Safely, and for Life.

NEW YORK -- This New Year, everyone will be talking about THE FLAVOR POINT DIET: The Delicious, Breakthrough Plan to Turn Off Your Hunger and Lose the Weight for Good (Rodale) by David L. Katz, MD, MPH, with Catherine S. Katz, PhD. This new, research-proven diet enables you to lose weight quickly, safely, and for life--simply by combining foods by the right flavors, at the right time! Following FLAVOR THEMES, you will learn how to artfully combine the right flavors and separate the wrong ones in order to help your brain and belly reach THE FLAVOR POINT--the moment at which you feel completely full and satisfied.

Why will you love THE FLAVOR POINT DIET?

--It works--Clinical research shows you can lose 9 to 16 pounds in 6 weeks. Volunteers who tested the diet shrunk up to 7 inches off their waistlines!

--It includes delicious, healthful foods--Smart food choices also lowered volunteers' blood cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure!

--It's convenient--With 6 weeks of menu plans and over 100 new recipes, it's easy to adapt the plan to personal taste and lifestyle.

THE FLAVOR POINT DIET works on 3 guiding principles:

--Don't mix sweet and salty foods at the same meal--The combination of these two tastes overstimulates the brain's appetite center, causing you to overeat. If you separate sweet and salty foods throughout the day, you'll automatically eat less, make healthier choices, and lose weight.

--The more on the list, the more on your belly--The longer a food's ingredient list, the more hidden flavors it has--and the more it will stimulate your appetite.

--Eat a bit of the same food with every meal--This makes your taste buds "fill up" faster, speeding you to "The Flavor Point."
