Menopause Reset!: Reverse Weight Gain, Speed Fat Loss, and Get Your Body Back in 3 Simple Steps

by Mickey Harpaz, Robert Wolff

Menopause Reset! is the revolutionary, scientifically-proven program that helps women control the physiological effects of perimenopause and menopause with mind, diet, and exercise solutions that keep blood sugar levels stable and bodies in the fat-burning zone all day long. In the past, controversial hormonal replacement therapy was the only method by which women could positively affect menopausal symptoms. But Menopause Reset! changes all of that. The program specifically regulates blood glucose with food, exercise, and highly effective stress reduction techniques, allowing women to stop and reverse menopausal weight and fat gain. Based on the successful treatment of tens of thousands of women whose life-changing results are included in the book, Dr. Harpaz has put together an easy, 3-step solution that targets the triggers of menopause and its symptoms. Menopause Reset! teaches women all about their metabolic mechanisms: what they are, how they work, and, most importantly, how to manipulate them to achieve sustainable weight loss and get their bodies back!

The biggest mistake in this book is the title. Forget the menopause, follow these guidelines because they are easy to understand and follow and they work.

Diet Reset:
Eat 6-8 times a day. Never skip a meal.
Eat at least 1000 calories a day.
Keep sugar intake under 10 grams a serving and fat less than 10%
Snack on fruit. Stay away from large quantity of carbohydrates.
Never take a second helping.
Check labels.

Movement Reset:
Exercise every day for at least 30 minutes.
Add strength training to build muscle in addition to cardio.
Target heart rate is 50-70 percent to burn more fat than sugar.

I was so excited about the principles in this book. At the beginning it is a bit like reading a comercial. I skimmed a bit because I wanted them to get to the meat of the book. I have tried the style of eating and am excited about the way I feel and my mid-section. I had to take it back to the library before I finished it, it was on hold. I would definately recommend any one over forty read this book. I am excited to get it from the library and finish it.

Sadly - I keep reading these books and they are all just as bad as the last one. I read one 10 years ago when I hit menopause that was fantastic and I can't find it. I keep trying though....
If anyone has a good one, let me know....

Did you know that when your body produces less estrogen it begins to look for other estrogen sources in your body and that fat cells produce estrogen so your body works harder to turn calories into fat?

Most of the book is science and advice that applies to anyone who is attempting to learn to eat and exercise in a way that helps their body maintain health. I had read much of the info before in magazine articles or online, but this puts it all together.

Great weight loss habits in three simple steps are covered in this book; 1. Mind-set 2. Diet (don't eat junk, don't eat just before going to bed or subconsciously, and 30 grams of fat per day)3. And exercise. The habits I always knew but never seem to follow. If you need a review of how to speed weight loss, then read this book, otherwise I just said it all.

I really liked the book. It was very helpful.

This book has good information for motivating your self to exercise and change eating habits. It did not address hormonal issues and how to deal with hot flashes, mood swings, anxiety, etc. that comes along with perimenopause and menopause.

[Julie Garrett · Rating 2 out of 5]

The book has a few good pieces of information about diet and exercise, but that information is surrounded by a lot of infomercial-style writing.

[Nic · Rating 3 out of 5]

The first few chapters read like a roll your eyes infomercial. Some good tidbits in the book which are helpful and contrary to many things that work when we are younger.

[Theresa Lummer · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was helpful. I realized that several of my eating habits, that I thought would help me lose weight, were actually causing me to hold on to the weight. These are habits that I can easily change. I can easily live by the 10/10/650 rule. I was pleasantly surprised to see how many foods, that I really like, fit into these guidelines.

I became somewhat confused when I read the exercise information. It sounded simple at first, but the more I read I felt I needed a personal trainer. However, I have changed my exercise routine due to the information I read that I did understand. I can and do take at least 30 minutes a day to walk every day. I purchased some wrist weights.

I feel that this book set me on a better path to remaining healthy. I just wish that the exercise information was as simple as the diet information.

I really appreciated a lot of the thinking in this book. Taught me things I didn't know about my body . . things I am definitely going to put into practice. Some of them apply to the "menopausal" woman but I think others, like dealing with insulin, would be good for everyone.

[Valerie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Easy to read. The diet isn't really anything new but it does help to reinforce the 6 small meals a day to increase your metabolism. This is very important for menopausal women. It seems easy to follow.
