Synopsis

A patient-proven eating and lifestyle program to balance nutrition and sustain weight loss—including more than 40 delicious recipes and 6 weeks of meal plans—tailored to women in midlife.

“I haven’t changed my diet or exercise habits and yet the scale keeps moving in the wrong direction. What’s going on?!”

Time and again, this is the question Dr. Mary Claire Haver’s patients asked. At first, a practicing OB/GYN, she’d dutifully advise what she’d been taught in medical school: eat less and work out more. But that standard advice didn’t solve the problem because back then she—and so many other doctors—hadn’t taken into account the physiological factors affecting women. They tend to store fat, they can have a hard time accessing that stored fat as active fuel, and their hormonal fluctuations in midlife exacerbate the situation.

Then, Dr. Haver found herself in this exact predicament with the added issues of low energy, hot flashes, and brain fog. So she set out to develop a nutrition program that would meet her own and her patients’ needs once and for all. Now, nearly 100,000 women have found success in Dr. Haver's unique plan for permanent weight loss and reduced menopausal symptoms by following her three interconnected strategies:

• Fuel Refocus: Starting in their thirties, women need a specific ratio of healthy fats, lean protein, and quality carbohydrates to efficiently burn fat as fuel.
• Intermittent Fasting: 16 hours of fasting with a flexible 8-hour eating window coaxes the body to draw energy from stored fat and decreases inflammation.
• Anti-inflammatory Nutrition: Limit added sugars, processed carbs, chemical additives and preservatives and layer in anti-inflammatory foods like leafy greens, olive oil, berries, nuts, and tomatoes.

With these three principles working together, women can finally lose stubborn weight as well as enjoy newfound energy, better sleep, less brain fog, and fewer hot flashes. Featuring forty delicious recipes, six weeks of easy-to-follow meal plans, shopping lists, and success stories of women who have changed their lives on this plan, The Galveston Diet—named for Dr. Haver's hometown—will revolutionize the conversation around weight loss for women, with health benefits that last a lifetime.

This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF of recipes, meal plans, and other resources from the book.

Goodreads review by wellreadtraveler on December 30, 2022

First page of this book and I was kicking myself for not reading it sooner. It was like the author Mary Claire Haver reached into my brain and knew what I needed to hear, the help I've been seeking, and the answers to so many questions I'm having. I was scribbling notes and thinking of all my friend......more

Goodreads review by Jennifer ~ TarHeelReader on April 24, 2024

I listened to this one on audio. Dr. Haver is currently all over my Instagram feed, so I had to learn more about her protocol. She is an M.D. and extremely knowledgeable as a woman in menopause herself. I have read some critiques that maybe all she shares is not based on science. I wish she would pa......more

Goodreads review by Joanne on February 16, 2023

Not for me. Would have liked a breakdown of all the macros per recipe or even per food rather than per her daily menus. There's no way I could afford most of the ingredients and some of them aren't even available where I live. It is a very interesting read in regards to (peri) menopause and the chan......more

Goodreads review by Donna on February 26, 2023

The author is an ob/gyn who really seems to love and care for women. She also focuses on peri-menopause and menopause in a positive way. Recipes and diet plans are included and easy to use. The diet itself didn’t appeal to me in any new way. It really is a mixture of keto, intermittent fasting, and......more

Goodreads review by Amy | Foxy Blogs on July 27, 2023

I follow Dr. Haver on Instagram and when I heard she wrote a book I went to the library to get it. My library only has the audio version. I would like to read a physical copy of the book so I could take notes... which is hard to do when you listen to the audio and you're doing other things like: coo......more


Quotes

“Dr. Haver is an excellent motivational speaker and educator, and her passion for helping women find nutritional and lifestyle solutions to counter the negative effects of menopause is inspiring. The validation of common hormonal symptoms and commiseration with weight gain challenges, especially from a physician with similar struggles, is likely a rare and comforting experience for many women.”Forbes Health
