The MD Factor Diet: A Physician s Proven Diet for Metabolism Correction and Healthy Weight Loss

I have read over 100 diet books in my life. I honestly thought that I knew everything about dieting. The baffling part is every year I get heavier and heavier. I decided to buy The MD Factor, because I have been using DR Cederquist's AMAZING home delivery service called Bistro MD. This book really opened my eyes! I finally understand what's going on with me! DR Cederquist does an amazing job of explaining why weight loss is SUCH a struggle for some people. It explains that it's not our fault! There is a quiz to see what level of the MD Factor you have, and how to fix your metabolism so that it kicks into high gear again. The MD Factor is based on the fact that most overweight people have insulin resistance, and how insulin resistance reeks havoc on your metabolism. The book is very easy to read. All of the medical information is broken down into a language that is very easy to understand. There are mouth watering recipes toward the back of the book. Following the advice in the MD factor starts fixing your metabolism in as little as a week!!!! I used to wonder why I felt shaky and dizzy two hours after eating. Now I know exactly why, and how to stay away from the kind of eating that leads to those awful feelings. I was killing myself with food! I'm down more than 70 pounds due to the wonderful Bistro MD meal delivery, and I'm still going strong. There are many recipes in the book that are for the exact meals that I get shipped, so don't feel like you have to utilize the food delivery. DR Cederquist explains how simple it is to do on your own. I can't say enough about this book. I will eat like this forever because I feel so wonderful. Please do yourself a favor, and pick up a copy of the MD Factor! You have nothing to lose but weight.

Dr. Cederquist has somehow found a way to explain a complex medical condition in understandable terms for the layperson. Not only is the information easily absorbed, she skillfully intertwines personal stories to help the reader identify their own patterns. The book is actually easy to read and entertaining. The MD factor quiz at the beginning of the book is fun to take, and provides immediate answers as to whether you have the MD Factor, and to what degree, and what basic action plan is suggested.With the help of easy to read charts and lists, Dr. Cederquist explains so clearly concepts such as complex carbohydrates, trans fats, and all the places sugars are hiding. The action plan section is laid out to show not only what to eat or not eat, but why. Unlike many books with daily nutritional plans included, this one is crystal clear, with each meal option for the three meals of the day illustrated in colorful boxes with clearly defined foods and quantities. And the EATS (Essential and Tasty Snacks) section includes great protein choices. There is no confusion in this book about how to follow the action plan schedule of reclaim days, transformation days, and stabilization days. And the recipes look fantastic!The most invaluable piece for me to start right away was the section on vitamins and supplements. After asking my doctors for years with conflicting answers or no clear answers at all, I had literally given up and just started taking a multivitamin and hoping for the best. Dr. Cederquist discusses each vitamin she recommends throughly - what it does for you, why you need it, and the recommended dose.Thank you Dr. Cederquist!

At last, an MD who chooses nutrition as the new drug. Functional medicine is the new benchmark of health and Dr. Cederquist’s book The MD Factor hits the mark. The script flows from a qualifier to understanding to action. Chapter 7 does a good job of explaining the relationship of Amino Acids, Trace Minerals, Omega 3’s, Vitamin D, Magnesium and Green Tea. They are a complement to the nutritional fortitude of the meal plan.In Part Four, the recipes presented are simple to prepare and for those with busy lives, the same food can be purchased through Bistro MD.The most beneficial information is actually found in the Appendices because it references some fascinating data on Genetics as well as the controversy regarding the over indulgence of animal protein. Yet the principals of the MD Factor are steadfast in use of protein to get the metabolism back on track. The results are validated by the feedback from patients of Dr. Cederquist and clients nationwide who participate in the Bistro MD meal system. Very impressive.Christopher GrahamVice President Culinary InnovationUBaron Group, Denver, CO

This book put in perspective some things that I had no idea were related to my weight. For example, I had trouble sleeping through the night. Who knew that your weight and insulin can impact your sleep!I liked that it started with an assessment and it got me highly engaged in figuring out where I am now and what I can do in the future to stay healthy. Dr. Cederquist explained every topic in understandable terms. It was an easy read and got me excited to get in the kitchen. I like that she gave not only easy option recipes, but even super easy options for the days when I just don’t feel like cooking. Wish there were even more recipes; the one’s I’ve tried have been very good.The action plan is great and something I can follow and keep up with. I like that there’s another quiz for Wellbeing and Metabolism Correction that she suggests you do weekly and I feel it’s been a good way to quickly see the improvements overall.Thanks Dr. Cederquist!

Good informative book

Loved this book and how well it explains in laymans terms, how our whole systems work. For once, I got a clear understanding of how all our components work together and why certain things are so important to do. I cannot wait to put all this new found education and advice into action. I may never look at food the same again....maybe this time I will win!

Good read

The book was as I expected. Happy with my purchase.
