Give me my EGCG!
     
When I started reading "The Natural Fat-Loss Pharmacy," I was hopeful that there might be some way to take off the extra weight I was carrying without having to exercise or deprave myself of the foods I love. I was already limiting my fat intake because my doctor was about to put me on a medication to reduce my cholesterol count. My cholesterol level was coming into normal range, but I wasn't seeing the physical results I desired.

I had never heard of some of the nutritional supplements and herbs mentioned in this book, but by the time I finished reading it, I felt drawn to start taking EGCG (green tea extract) to speed up my fat burning process. It was the answer I was looking for. After taking the supplement for only a week, I had more energy. I started exercising for about 20 minutes a day while taking EGCG. That's when I visibly started seeing inches come off my torso.

Who would have thought that a supplement could make such a difference? I would not have known about green tea extract had I not needed to read the book in order to interview Bill Gottlieb for my iTunes podcast Writers in the Sky. This book is a must read for anyone willing to try something drug-free to address a physical problem.
