Product Description
Discover the hidden culprit behind the 'middle-age spread'--and the simple plan that's helped hundreds of women over 30 break the fat cycle!
It's an all-too-common problem once you hit thirty: Despite your best efforts, you just can't seem to lose the extra weight around your middle, and you look in the mirror wondering what month and year you lost your waistline. Medical research proves you're not alone--that the average American gains one to two pounds a year after age thirty--usually around the stomach. Not only does this excess belly fat make you look and feel bad, it's the most damaging kind of fat; a precursor to heart attacks and certain types of cancer.
To the contrary of other diet books, C.W. Randolph, M.D., a champion for women's health, explains that the real reason behind this problem has less to do with calories, carbs, or crunches and everything to do with a little-known but very real medical problem called 'estrogen dominance.' By treating thousands of women safely and effectively for over two decades, Dr. Randolph has discovered why we are in the midst of an estrogen epidemic and how you can save your waistline . . . and your health . . . using his 3-step plan comprised of an anti-estrogenic diet, natural progesterone supplementation, and exercise. You'll learn:
-How to self-diagnose estrogen dominance
-The top ten belly-blasting foods that jump-start weight loss and maintain hormone balance
-How your sleep patterns, exercise habits, and stress levels impact your hormone levels
-Which vitamins and supplements support, not sabotage, your overall hormone balance
The result? Well within four weeks you'll lose pounds and inches? and reveal the flat belly--and the health and vitality that go along with it.

 Medical supplements in this book May 9, 2008
Most of the supplements listed in this book have helped balance my hormones - I've felt more balanced and less likely to freak out! However, when I went to purchase my supplements at a health food store, and the proprietor warned me not to take chitosan. She claims that it blocks all fat absorption. I decided to form my own opinion, and ordered the supplement online. After taking it for two months, I've noticed that my nails (which are normally strong, thanks to another vit/min supp.) are extremely weak. My skin doesn't have it's normal elasticity, and I wonder if the health food store owner was right.
Highly recommended to women approaching middle age everywhere May 3, 2008

Middle age is dreaded by many as all too often people can't seem to lose that little extra weight that comes with achieving the age 40+. "From Belly Fat to Belly Flat: How Hormones Are Adding Inches to Your Waistline and Subtracting Years from Your Life" will explain exactly why this happens to so many people, and more importantly, how to remedy it. It has less to do with carbs and calories says C.W. Randolph, a physician who has treated more than 100,000 women for their hormonal imbalance issues over the year, and more to do with hormones. "From Belly Fat to Belly Flat: How Hormones Are Adding Inches to Your Waistline and Subtracting Years from Your Life" will teach readers how to self-diagnose their estrogen dominance problems, everyday culprits that will mess with your hormones, and vitamins that support and hinder your hormonal balance.

It's so good to get a book that explains why people get belly fat as they get older and I wish I had read this book when I was in my 30's! There is a solution to this problem! I would recommend this book for anyone who has started getting the stubbord belly fat or who wants to know how to avoid it. The information given in this book is right on! I had already been doing many of the necessary things listed but have incorporated a few other key things that I did not know and I've already seen a difference in only 2 weeks. A very informative and educational must-read book!
LADIES - DOMINATE YOUR ESTROGEN! March 18, 2008
20 out of 20 found this review helpful
Have you wondered why, no matter what you do, you cannot lose the weight around your middle? Dr. Randolph answers this question by targeting hormones - "estrogen dominance" - as the culprit, not calories, carbs, or lack of crunches. He provides a 3-step plan consisting of exercise, natural progesterone supplementation, and an anti-estrogenic diet. The hormone-balancing diet includes ten critical foods such as fiber, citrus, and cruciferous vegetables, and a number of vitamins and key supplements such as calcium-magnesium and DHEA. The book focuses on women over thirty.
The book includes a one-month menu with meals such as: Grilled Salmon with Dill and Lemon; Crab Cakes; Grapefruit and Avocado Salad; Flaxseed and Fruit Smoothie; Garlic Chickpeas and Pasta; Lemon-Curry Cauliflower and Kale; Lentil, Carrot, and Turnip Stew; and Not Your Ordinary Tuna Salad.
The contents of the book include:
Part 1. Where Your Belly Fat Came From and Why It Won't Budge
1. Estrogen Dominance
2. Are You Estrogen Dominant?
Part 2. The Three-Step Plan to Balance Your Hormones and Whittle Your Middle
3. Step 1: Eat Foods That Balance Your Hormones
4. Step 2: Use Progesterone--the Simple Way to a Flat Belly
5. Take the Right Supplements to Support, Not Sabotage Your Hormone Balance
Part 3. Keeping That Flat Belly for Life
6. Keeping Weight Off in the Real World
7. The 80-20 Rule
8. The "Flat Belly for Life" Recipe Collection
This book draws a connection between belly bulge and hormone imbalance and seems to work for many women. The author explains that age-related decrease in progesterone production causes the body to become estrogen dominant, which leads to increased body fat, and fat tissue produces and stores more estrogen. Simultaneously, body fat contains an enzyme that converts adrenal steroids into estrogen. Making things worse, when you are in an estrogen dominant state your body supposedly does not effectively use fat for energy compromising your body's ability to metabolize or burn body fat. The author further states that having high estrogen levels affects the distribution of body fat and predisposes the body to store fat around the abdomen. Why having a high level of estrogen would affect where fat is stored is unclear to me. It seems that if you lose enough body fat, your stomach will eventually go flat, providing you maintain good muscle control, good posture, avoid overeating, or eating bloat-causing foods.
Readers should enjoy the tasty hormone-balancing recipes, and I applaud the idea of balancing hormones in a more natural way - especially using foods and vitamins! My only caveat is to check with a breast doctor before taking DHEA as I was specifically told by a breast cancer specialist not to take it. For a life-changing method of weight control, I also recommend THE 3:00 PM SECRET: Live Slim and Strong, Live Your Dreams
Dr. Randolph Speaks from Experience March 11, 2008

Dr. Randolph was one of the first medical doctors to incorporate bioidentical hormones in his practice, and by now he has treated thousands of women, so when he gives hormone and diet advice he speaks from a lot of experience! This book is about much more than a flat belly (although that's a bonus) -- it's about creating optimal health with elegantly simple solutions. If you follow Dr. Randolph and Genie James' guidelines, you're nearly guaranteed to be healthier and have more energy.
