The Dragon's Way

To Natural, Healthy, Lasting Weight Loss

Here at last is the secret to taking off pounds and inches and keeping them off for life. Unlike popular "miracle" diet programs and products, The Dragon's Way addresses the root cause of your weight problems and offers a remarkable six-week program that shows you how to reach your optimum weight and stay there. The Dragon's Way is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theories that have been practiced for thousands of years. Today billions of people worldwide benefit from this medical system. The Dragon's Way is not about food restrictions, apetite suppression, or vigorous exercising. It's about treating the whole person instead of focusing on weight; about how to use ancient energy movements to awaken your healing ability; about showing you how to use food as a healing tool; and about helping you achieve the harmony and balance in your own body that can result in natural, healthy, permanent weight loss.

  • How the Traditional Chinese Medicine approach differs from diet programs
  • How this TCM program makes you feel better physically and emotionally
  • How stress causes weight problems
  • How food cravings signal body needs
  • Why depriving your body of food leads to further weight gain
  • Healing foods and recipes that help you eliminate excess water and body fat
  • Herbal supplements and energy movements that encourage body harmony and help you avoid excess wieght
  • Additional health benefits beyond wieght loss
  • And Much More!

Synopsis:

Weight loss in America is a multibillion-dollar industry, but a staggering number of people who lose weight regain it within a few years. Dr. Nan Lu uses traditional Chinese medical principles in his Dragon's Way "RM" program, which has helped more than 500 participants lose pounds and inches in a healthy, lasting way. Here, he introduces a simple program to strengthen the healthy function of the body's five major organ systems in six weeks so that those responsible for regulating fat and water, as well as energy usage, work normally again. When this state is achieved, the body automatically starts to lose excess weight and heal itself. Dr. Lu also explains how to eat for energy and how to avoid the stress that aggravates weight problems, provides recipes for healthful and healing dishes the reader can create with easily available foods, and teaches a system of ancient energy movements that anyone can perform in only 20 minutes a day.
