Product Description
Discover the hidden culprit behind the 'middle-age spread'--and the simple plan that's helped hundreds of women over 30 break the fat cycle!
It's an all-too-common problem once you hit thirty: Despite your best efforts, you just can't seem to lose the extra weight around your middle, and you look in the mirror wondering what month and year you lost your waistline. Medical research proves you're not alone--that the average American gains one to two pounds a year after age thirty--usually around the stomach. Not only does this excess belly fat make you look and feel bad, it's the most damaging kind of fat; a precursor to heart attacks and certain types of cancer.
To the contrary of other diet books, C.W. Randolph, M.D., a champion for women's health, explains that the real reason behind this problem has less to do with calories, carbs, or crunches and everything to do with a little-known but very real medical problem called 'estrogen dominance.' By treating thousands of women safely and effectively for over two decades, Dr. Randolph has discovered why we are in the midst of an estrogen epidemic and how you can save your waistline . . . and your health . . . using his 3-step plan comprised of an anti-estrogenic diet, natural progesterone supplementation, and exercise. You'll learn:
-How to self-diagnose estrogen dominance
-The top ten belly-blasting foods that jump-start weight loss and maintain hormone balance
-How your sleep patterns, exercise habits, and stress levels impact your hormone levels
-Which vitamins and supplements support, not sabotage, your overall hormone balance
The result? Well within four weeks you'll lose pounds and inches? and reveal the flat belly--and the health and vitality that go along with it.

 It could work July 26, 2008
I gained 30lbs in 8 months, and I have been on some sort of diet for two years with only weight gain to show for it. I assumed I might be having hormone issues so I tried this book. What I read, really seemed to apply to me and I was excited to get started. Now after 2 months on the program, I am not as excited. I didn't have to change my current diet plan much and in the first 30 days I lost 5 lbs - which is not great, but it's the first downward movement I've seen on the scale since early 2006 so I was very excited and hopeful. The second month I gained 3 lbs back and I didn't change anything. So - as far as weight loss, I am not sure this is the one for me either. But I can say that since I started taking the supplements, I do feel better overall, I am not as tired so I will continue those. (I didn't use the progesterone cream as I had a reaction to it). There are a lot of 5 star ratings, so I have to assume that this plan works for some people.
Good Information about how hormones affect your body July 23, 2008
I am in my late 30's and have had hormonal issues since having my son 5 years ago. While I wouldn't consider myself overweight, I do have the tummy to prove that I'm a mom! I have been taking the supplements now for over 2 months and haven't lost any weight, (I exercise and eat right most of the time) but have had some success with the way I feel. My monthly cycle can be intolerable at times and I've noticed a big difference in the way I feel emotionally and physically - all for the better. This is not the "magic cure" but I think it's worth trying - it may help with PMS. Good Luck!
 It Works! July 9, 2008
Don't let the title fool you; this isn't some fad aimed to sell a lot of books. It works!
The philosophy is very simple: We get out of balance as our hormones change, so we need to help our bodies get back in balance.
I have never had a problem with weight, and have always exercised. So when I found myself with 5 extra mid-section pounds I couldn't get off (early perimenopause) I started researching. I can't say that is was the DHEA or the progesterone cream that did it, but those pounds were gone in 6 weeks, and monthly bloating is way, way down. I was traveling a lot during that time so didn't take the supplements regularly. But I did totally eliminate simple carbs: sugar and refined flours and fried food. Eat whole grains, protein, veggies, and go easy on fruits. It's as simple as that.
 don't buy this, you must spend alot more money June 28, 2008

this book is a scam, sure there is alot of info that seems to make sense, but first of all, you must order alot of Dr. Randoulphs cream and supplements, and then they don't work at all. I spent $[...] on this rip-off, with zero results. then I e-mailed them to express my disappointment and the will not respond. If it wasn't a scam I feel they would at least respond as most reputable companies will if a customer is not satisfied. I feel that the five star ratings are part of the scam written by the company. DON"T WASTE YOUR MONEY, i feel like a fool for wasting mine.
WHY MIDDLE AGE MAKES YOUR MIDDLE FAT June 26, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
"From Belly Fat to Belly Flat: How Hormones Are Adding Inches to Your Waistline and Subtracting Years from Your Life" explains why in middle age hormones make your middle fat. The book provides a self-diagnostic test of the hormone imbalance that comes with age and is causing estrogen dominance in your body. It turns out that as women age there is a decrease in their production of progesterone, which allows estrogen to become the dominant hormone. According to the book, when your body is estrogen-dominant, you will be fatter, especially around the abdomen. The good news is that there are things we can do to combat this imbalance including emphasizing certain foods, taking vitamins and supplements including progesterone, adjusting sleep patterns, developing the right exercise habits, and managing stress. The book provides a 30-day menu with easy recipes. The foods include fish, citrus fruit, beans, chickpeas, lentils, and lots of vegetables.
The book has three main sections as follows:
I. Where Your Belly Fat Came From and Why It Won't Budge: 1. Estrogen Dominance; 2. Are You Estrogen Dominant?
II. The Three-Step Plan to Balance Your Hormones and Whittle Your Middle: 3. Step 1: Eat Foods That Balance Your Hormones; 4. Step 2: Use Progesterone--the Simple Way to a Flat Belly; 5. Take the Right Supplements to Support, Not Sabotage Your Hormone Balance.
III. Keeping That Flat Belly for Life: 6. Keeping Weight Off in the Real World; 7. The 80-20 Rule; 8. The "Flat Belly for Life" Recipe Collection.
If you are approaching the middle years of life, and you think your hormones may be out of whack, this book contains ideas that you may find very helpful! I also like THE 3:00 PM SECRET: Live Slim and Strong, Live Your Dreams
