Is Serotonin The Key To Weight Loss?

It's 10 AM - do you know where your serotonin level is?

QUICK FIX: If you don't know about serotonin levels you should because that candy bar you are craving right about now is because your brain's serotonin level is getting low and looking for a quick fix!

DID YOU KNOW? That when the important brain chemical, serotonin, gets depleted you subconsciously crave the types of foods that break down quickly into blood sugar?"

Yes, a brain chemical or actually, the lack of one, causes cravings," says Phoenix Gilman, author of the new book "Diet Failure: The Naked Truth: The Brain Chemistry To Losing Weight - And Keeping It Off".

Atlanta Based Author & Expert, Phoenix Gilman, with over 30 years experience in the health and nutrition industry adds: "That extremely powerful major neurotransmitter, serotonin, is the most important neurotransmitter in the brain. It is the master communicator among the many other brain chemicals. For your body and mind to function at its optimal best, your serotonin levels MUST BE MAINTAINED".

IS LACK OF SEROTONIN MAKING US FAT? Serotonin is also the brain chemical that has clinically proven to control two major reasons why diets inevitably fail.

HOW DOES SEROTONIN GET DEPLETED? Basically everything in life seems to deplete serotonin, ranging from stress, lack of restorative sleep, poor nutrition, sedentary lifestyle, low-fat diets, excessive carb consumption, caffeine, nicotine, chocolate, alcohol, over the counter meds etc. etc. "I am not kidding when I say everything in life depletes serotonin" says Atlanta Based Weight Loss and Nutrition Expert & Author, Phoenix Gilman.

HOW DO WE GET MORE SEROTONIN? Where does serotonin come from? Is it made in our brains? From what "ingredients"? How can we maintain healthy levels of serotonin naturally? What foods should we eat? Can we eat enough to balance our serotonin levels? How long does it take to get our serotonin levels back up to normal levels? How do we know if we have low serotonin levels? What are the symptoms of low serotonin? What is "Serotonin Deficiency Syndrome"? What stimulates a quick release of serotonin? Answer: (carbs, caffeine, chocolate, nicotine, alcohol all stimulate a quick release of serotonin.) How long until our cravings for these bad foods stop?

I heard Phoenix during a radio interview late one night and knew immediately she was on to something extraordinary. More importantly, after reading her passionate book, I followed her lead and lost 57 lbs to date! Amazingly, aAfter a lifetime of struggling w/ a sugar addiction, and the subsequent weight gain, those cravings are GONE!

I also weaned myself off my Zoloft, which kept me emotionally numb for far too many yrs. My mood now? BETTER THAN EVER!

Phoenix has literally helped save my very life!

If you want the TRUTH, you MUST read this book!

Forever thankful,

Losing the excess weight is just the beginning!!!

Phoenix's book, the Naked Truth, is probably the best book I've ever read, especially when it comes to teaching others how to get that lean, healthy and SEXY body we all desire. And, she makes it so easy to understand, not talking over our heads.

I highly recommend this book to all!

With the help of my sister, Phoenix, she has helped me discover the reason, at 53 years of age, why my body was fighting so hard to lose the weight. With her help I have found that what she offers is the FULL KNOWLEDGE of serotonin and how we all can better our health. I feel healthier than I have in years and better yet, my cravings are no longer.
Thank you and I love you for educating me through your book and your help.
