Summary
Nationally-known weight-loss expert Scott Rigden, MD, has determined that these disorders cause your metabolism to "switch" when you diet, making it nearly impossible for you to lose weight - your body stores fat instead of burning it. Using simple quizzes and actual case histories, Dr. Rigden helps you identify your metabolic profile and understand its effects. He then guides you in designing a personal plan using diet, supplements and exercise to get you back on the path to safe and permanent weight loss.
