Here are the dieting types (see below for more details and refer to the book for your amino acid profile):

Women:

  • Female, 40-50, no symptoms of menopause = Perimenopausal Woman
  • Female, 18-39, no symptoms of menopause = Young Woman in her 20s or 30s
  • Female, 40-50, hot flashes or other symptoms of menopause, all-over weight gain = Menopausal or Post-Menopausal Woman
  • Female, 50+, few or no symptoms of menopause, all-over weight gain = Menopausal or Post-Menopausal Woman
  • Female, any age, have dieted often with little or yo-yo results = Diet Challenged Woman

Men:

  • Male, 18-39, spare tire = Young Man
  • Male, 40+, all-over weight gain, lack of energy, loss of muscle = Andropausal Man
  • Male, any age, have dieted often with little or yo-yo results = Diet Challenged Man

Your A-List Dieter Type is…
Perimenopausal Woman

Women in this category are generally between the ages of 43 and 53. Perimenopause starts long before any missed periods. This is the time in your life when your nicely balanced hormones really begin to fluctuate, even if you have no other menopausal symptoms.

During perimenopause, it is the fluctuation of estrogen (and its relationship to other hormones such as progesterone) that can make weight loss so challenging. Fat is one of the places where your body stores estrogen. So, as your estrogen levels decrease, your body likes to hold on to fat in order to have an extra supply of estrogen.

Unfortunately, perimenopause is a double or even triple whammy on your metabolism. If you happen to be in this group, please do not get discouraged—because there IS something you can do. That’s where The A-List Diet comes in. With this plan, you’ll discover the specific amino boosting plan I recommend to maximize your weight loss during this time.

Your hormones, metabolism, and nutritional requirements are different at every phase of your life. Knowing your A-List dieter type—and getting the right mix of amino acids to suit your type—are essential to making a low-carb diet work for you.

Young Woman in her 20s or 30s

For women, this is the best time of your life for weight loss. Managing weight during this period of your life is easier than you think, although there are still some obstacles—including the juggling of your career, home life, children, pregnancy, and breast-feeding.

Hormones will also try to interfere with your weight loss at this stage in your life. While they should be fairly balanced, oral contraceptives, pregnancy, and breast-feeding are all sources of potential hormonal imbalances. The good news is, my A-List Diet is designed to make your weight loss journey so much easier!

Your A-List Dieter Type is…
Menopausal or Postmenopausal Woman

Menopause can happen in your 40s or 50s, but the average age is 51 in the United States. The good news is, it gets easier to lose weight once menopause has finished. With The A-List Diet, you’ll discover the specific amino acid intake I recommend to maximize your weight loss potential during this time.

While the hormonal changes of menopause might make you more likely to gain weight around your abdomen than around your hips and thighs, hormonal changes alone don’t necessarily trigger menopausal weight gain. For example, muscle mass typically diminishes with age, while fat increases.

Reduced estrogen may also lower metabolism. It also means the body uses starches and blood sugar less effectively, which increases fat storage and makes it harder to lose weight.

Young Man in his 20s or 30s

Young men have everything going for them when it comes to weight loss. They have excellent metabolisms, high testosterone levels, lean muscle mass, and a body that naturally wants to be thin.

Having said that, we are entering into an era of unhealthy, overweight, metabolically challenged young men. There are probably many reasons this is taking place, the first and foremost being the abundance of fast food and junk food.

I believe the second reason is that men live in an estrogenized world. Phytoestrogens are estrogen-like substances that mimic the effects of estrogen in the body. I have seen a rash of younger men who have lower testosterone levels than their grandfathers. I can think of no other reason than the poisonous food supply and the levels of toxins, including endocrine disruptors (a hidden world of toxins including cleaning supplies, receipts, that new car smell, and many other sources that disrupt your hormones).

Your hormones, metabolism, and nutritional requirements are different at every phase of your life. Knowing your A-List dieter type—and getting the right mix of amino acids to suit your type—are essential to making a low-carb diet work for you.

Your A-List Dieter Type is…
Andropausal Man Over 40

Andropause is the result of a gradual decline in testosterone levels as men age. When men get into our early 30s, we begin losing testosterone at a rate of 1 to 2 percent a year. A recent World Health Organization (WHO) report analyzed male hormones and found that the testosterone levels in most 70-year-old men were 10 percent of the level in men who are 25 years old.

By the time you’re between the ages of 40 and 55, you will likely begin experiencing symptoms of andropause. These symptoms include weight gain, fatigue, and muscle loss.

Since testosterone is a key component in building protein, you will need more amino acids to take up the slack. In fact, the most potent mix of amino acids I recommend are for men in this group.

Diet Challenged

This is for the dieter who has been on and off diets their entire life. This is the person who has tried every diet under the sun with varying degrees of success. So many of my new patients are in this category, and I’ve seen firsthand how discouraged it can make you feel.

If you fall into this category, I have a solution. It is powerful enough to transform you—yes, YOU—into a lean, mean fat-burning machine. No matter how many “failed diets” you’ve tried. No matter how many times you’ve felt hopeless. No matter how long you’ve been stuck on a weight loss plateau.

In The A-List Diet, you’ll discover why it’s important to change up the foods you eat, rotate your protein sources, and get those all-important A-list protein booster shakes and protein boost shots (see chapter 5 of The A-List Diet). This rotation will help you start losing weight again and ensure that you never reach the plateau that always frustrates you…and has led you to give up trying to lose weight.

Your hormones, metabolism, and nutritional requirements are different at every phase of your life. Knowing your A-List dieter type—and getting the right mix of amino acids to suit your type—are essential to making a low-carb diet work for you.
