Eat Fat, Get Fit : How to Create YOUR Perfect Diet to Lose Weight, Heal Your Gut, and Have More Energy

How to Create Your Ideal Body Once and For All When you're dieting and trying to lose weight, it's reasonable to want to lose body fat in specific areas. You want flat abs, tighter tummies, leaner legs, or less flabby arms. But often you're told it isn't possible. However, I have seen my clients get the results they want faster than ever with my individualized approach-helping them become their own diet detective to find which foods work best for their body. And now I want to share it with you so you can have the body and confidence you desire.
