J orge Cruise understands weight control. He knows that losing weight quickly is relatively easy, but that gaining it back with interest just as quickly is both predictable and devastating. He knows a fad when he sees one.

In fact, the one word I would choose to represent my friend and colleague to you is understanding. Jorge will guide you to both weight loss and lasting weight control with an incomparable wealth of understanding. He has done his homework, so he understands human metabolism. He understands the science of nutrition, the fundamentals of physiology. But what really sets Jorge apart is that he understands you! He communicates regularly with several million clients at www.3HourDiet.com. He gets insight and feedback from the more than twenty-three million he advises on nutrition at America Online. He has been everywhere, talked to everyone, and listened with genuine interest, concern, and rare empathy. Jorge understands weight loss.

The 3-Hour Diet is the product of that understanding. This book will unquestionably help you lose weight and keep it off, because it is written by somebody who understands what it takes to get that job done. Jorge knows that cutting out whole categories of food from your diet cant last. Most of us rebel against such restrictions, and pay the price when we do. He knows as well that even if restrictive fad diets could be maintained, they would still be a bad idea, because they are at odds with health. Jorge will guide you to weight loss, but not at the price of your health.

In The 3-Hour Diet , Jorge places a primary emphasis on the timing of food intake. This is a powerful insight. Eating in accord with this plan offers both physiological and psychological benets. You will never need to be hungry, so there is no sense of deprivation. You do not need to jettison whole categories of food to get calories under control. By spreading food out in frequent meals and snacks, you lower insulin levels, reducing the tendency to make body fat. The plan is even designed to help maximize your body muscle without exercise.

If I may have two words to describe Jorge, then I would add caring to understanding. Jorge Cruise doesnt just understand how to help you lose weight. He cares about how you get there!

Because of this caring, Jorge will not resort to deception or exaggerated sales pitches to gain your interest or attention. If you want to lose a pound a day, look elsewhere. Jorge is courageous enough to sayquite correctlythat you should not be losing more than about two pounds a week if you want your weight loss to be both safe and permanent. Jorge is also honest and correct in acknowledging that calories count, and all arguments to the contrary are smoke and mirrors.

Jorge Cruise has built The 3-Hour Diet on a foundation of deep understanding and genuine caring. To that can be added one more vital ingredient: experience. As you may already know, Jorge lived through, and nearly died from, his own struggles with weight and health. Yet he turned this situation around so thoroughly that he is now a role model of health and tness for us all. Jorge is not sending you off to parts unknown; he is inviting you to follow a trail he has dutifully blazed.

The unique understanding, caring, and experience of Jorge Cruise come together in The 3-Hour Diet . This book is a gift you can and should give yourself if lasting weight control eludes you. And if you are one of those rare individuals who has your own weight fully under control congratulations! Give this book as a gift to someone you love so they can get there, too!

The 3-Hour Diet is sensible and simple, practical and powerful, innovative yet intuitive. In the challenging quest for lifelong weight control, there are few who can guide us with the understanding, caring, and experience of Jorge Cruise. In The 3-Hour Diet , Jorge has paved the way to a healthier, happier, slimmer you. Follow it. In this excellent book, he is extending to you his sure and steady hand. Take it!

Dear Friend,

Welcome to the new paperback edition of the 3-Hour Diet!

I always tell my online clients that the biggest mistake they can make when trying to lose weight is to skip meals. When you skip meals throughout the day, your blood sugar level drops and your appetite soars, which makes you want to binge. More devastatingly, your metabolism plummets and your body starts cannibalizing precious fat-burning lean muscle. The result? You gain fat. Skipping meals sabotages every diet.

However, if you eat the right foods every three hours, you will keep your blood sugar level stable, so youre never hungry. And, you keep your metabolism up so you preserve your lean muscle. Thats what the 3-Hour Diet is all about. This book and the new meal cards will empower you to take control of your appetite, your metabolism, and your weight.

The 3-Hour Diet is based on my own journey with weight, proven scientific research, and the success of my millions of online clients. There will be NO deprivation, NO counting calories, NO surgery, NO required exercise, and NO restrictions. I believe that these factors are critical to successful weight loss because you need a plan that you can sustain for the rest of your life.
