"I love the book Mastering Leptin! I recommend the book to every forum I belong to. I feel it is absolutely the best one out there! The 5 Rules of The Leptin Diet make perfect sense and something I have always intuitively suspected - even though I got sold on the 6-7 meals/day folly for so many years! I have no solid proof but I believe, as you say in the book, that I suffered quite a few health issues due to the constant overeating - nothing major thankfully, but enough to make me take notice and decide that things need to change.

My wife loves to study nutrition and at first she wouldn’t even look at Mastering Leptin - thinking it was just another fad. I convinced her to look at it and now she can’t put it down. She immediately started following The 5 Rules and lost belly fat within 6 weeks, something she had not been able to do.

Kind regards and thank you so much for the work you are doing!"

Hi Mary and Byron, Last April, you came to Bethany and spoke about your book, Mastering Leptin. I spoke to you after your talk and was curious, but a bit skeptical about the chances of your technique working for me. However, I purchased and read your book and decided to give it a try.

I'm pleased to say that I am very happy about the results that I have had. I weighed 175 lbs (I'm 51 years old and I'm 5'8" tall) at the time I started on May 1, 2003. By August I had lost 15 pounds and I have kept if off - even through the holidays! I have to tell you, I have not given up my favorite foods (including dessert and chocolate) but I know that if I eat them with my meals I will not have to worry so much.

I continue to work out daily and practice yoga 1-2 times a week. I now need to take my program one step further and cut out some of those sweets so that I can lose 5-7 pounds more!

I just wanted you to know how happy I am with the results that I have had by following your suggestions. I tell everyone that asks that this is the best and safest way to lose weight and maintain a healthy balance between the foods I love and the way I need to eat.
