2 Welcome. For any woman who has ever cut calories, or followed a starvation weight loss program, you have an 87 percent chance of suffering from a broken metabolism, making weight loss after 40 nearly impossible. In addition, when women enter this unique stage of their life there is a biological imperative to level out imbalanced hormones with foods you thought were unhealthy for you until now. WELCOME Hormonal stages that begin around age 40 and last up until age 60 initiate an ironic situation. The key to weight loss, as I have discovered with my past programs, is to keep insulin low by avoiding hidden sugars and cutting carbs. However, as breakthrough science tells us, for women over 40 there is a stronger craving for carbs due to a biological imperative to raise serotonin levels. Eating carbs triggers a complex chain of events that raises serotonin, relieving anxiety and producing happiness. (Serotonin is a critical chemical messenger that moderates mood, appetite, cravings, and impulse control.) Therefore, following the first strategy of weight loss backfires for women over 40 because it causes extreme carb and sugar cravings, but eating these foods causes weight gain. The question is: how can these two pieces work together to solve this dilemma? The answer to fixing a broken metabolism and losing weight long-term is Women s Carb Cycling. Guaranteed by science, this method of eating resets your insulin sensitivity, keeping you slim, while simultaneously elevating serotonin levels, which keeps you happy, energized, and free of cravings. Let s get started!

5 The key to losing belly fat is to avoid Sugar Calories, but most women are drawn to Sugar Calories due a biological imperative to balance hormones. The irony is that you must cut Sugar Calories to lose weight, but you must also eat Sugar Calories to balance hormones. HOW IT WORKS The solution is finally losing weight and fixing your broken metabolism is Women s Carb Cycling - a way of eating based on cycling between 2 days 100 Sugar Calories per day and 5 days of up to 500 Sugar Calories per day. What are Sugar Calories? Any carbohydrate in a food (including all sugars) is a Sugar Calorie. This is because all carbohydrates and sugars are broken down into glucose (the body s sugar) at a molecular level. To determine a food s Sugar Calories, simply multiply the Total Carbohydrate grams by 4 (there are 4 calories per 1 gram of carbs). Let s put it in practice. Simply follow the menu for Days 1-2 for the first two days of the week. Then, follow the menu for Days 3-7 for the rest of the week.
