In his new scientific diet, based on the latest metabolic research, Dr. Katahn shows you how to use the "T-factor" of complex carbohydrates to burn off most of the fattening effect of calories. What he calls the T-factor is the thermogenic effect, which burns calories of carbohydrates much faster than calories of fat. With the T-factor Diet, you choose foods that naturally maximize your T-factor level. All calories are not the same, and Dr. Katahn shows you how to activate your body's hidden fat-burning potential to lose weight quickly and safely. Also included are excercises, easy, tantalizing recipes and meal plans, and Quick Melt--a T-factor program for accelerated weight loss. Put the T--factor to work for you, and in as little as three weeks you can have a new body and a new outlook on life! You'll be eating just about as much as you want of foods that you like and that are good for you--and perhaps best of all, you'll never have to count calories again!.
