The Hot Diet: The Real Reason You're Gaining Weight . . . and How to Lose It Fast and Forever

By A.J. Djo and Bill Quinn

Day by day, a silent poison is killing Americans. It is estimated that 64 percent of Americans are overweight or obese, resulting in the premature deaths of 500,000 people a year. That's more US deaths-every year-than were suffered during all of WWII. This poison is right under your nose, front and center at virtually every meal. Yet despite hundreds of diet books, thousands of seminars, and countless hours of research, it has escaped discovery. That's because, says chemical engineer AJ Djo, experts have been looking in all the wrong places. Five years of intensive research into the eating habits of more than 100,000 subjects has unveiled the missing link between dieting and obesity. For the 100 million-plus Americans who try diet after diet-with rare success-this scientific breakthrough represents a solution that is not only logical and achievable but also sustainable for a lifetime. For the first time, here is a diet that incorporates all of the recommendations of leading nutritionists, dieticians, and governmental agencies . . . without the poisons. It took a man with AJ's unique multicultural background, scientific training, and spiritual depth to continue the long discovery process and put all the pieces together. The Hot Diet offers a solution to the weight-gain problems of millions of people who have tried the so-called popular diets, who live in a world of "Fat Clothes" and "Skinny Clothes," and who find that decade after decade, they continue to add a few pounds of unwanted weight every year. The Hot Diet is for the person who recognizes that there is more to life than food

A real upper!

This book is so inspiring; it has personality. Wheather or not you wish to loose weight, the book is so uplifting and fun to read that I highly recommend it for the simple joy of how it refocuses us on the real pleasures of life. How nice that it addresses the issue of physical health as well. Enjoy!

Diet and spirituality

What a nice practical theory-chemical reaction applied to real life. I especially enjoyed the part of the book when spirituality comes into play-that sets it apart from other diet books. I truly enjoyed reading the hot diet book- gives you a sense of serenity and peace. It enlightens the reader about being appreciative and observant! I recommend it to all my patients,coworkers,family and friends. Great work A.J.

Great For The Whole Family

I have never written a review but after reading this I am going to make an exception. Unlike so many 'diet' books, the 'Hot Diet' incorporates the body, mind and world in the equation of weight loss. Reading more like a novel, I was immediately caught up in it. Very well written and makes all kinds of sense. Pass in on to your teenager. Helpful and Healthful!!!!!

Hot Diet

I purchased "The Hot Diet" about a week ago and quite enjoyed the book. While bringing to light a unique nutritional facet, A.J. Djo reminds us of the importance of caring for ourselves in a complete manner. It can never be said enough.. We are what we eat. I believe the five principles, A.J. outlines, to be a solid life improving foundation from which we can all benefit.

Addresses the Practical and the Spiritual

I purchased this book on 5 July at a Barnes and Noble. First let me say I'm glad I did. The scientific revelations explained in the book seemed to make sense to me intuitively so I tried the diet. The result is the loss of over 10lbs as of this writing. My intuition proved to be correct when I discussed AJ's principals with a friend of mine who teaches University level Anatomy and Physiology. He said the principals are correct. In addition to the diet tips, I found the "storytelling" style entertaining and amusing, especially the references to AJ's encounter with President Reagan. An excellent read!!
