What is important is to regulate your hormones which helps you to lose weight and keep fit. The main goal of this diet is to get rid of hormonal imbalances – induced by stress and environmental toxins, because it makes hard to lose weight, even if you are dieting and exercising. As Natasha Turner, a naturopathic doctor and the founder of the Supercharged Hormone Diet, points out, how fluctuations in certain hormone levels may contribute to stubborn belly fat, weight gain, sluggishness, stress, a lagging libido, sugar cravings, and health problems.
Her plan calls for lifestyle changes, doing a 2-week "detox," and adopting a Mediterranean-style diet (which focuses on maintaining stable blood sugar levels) that includes certain supplements. You can shed excess pounds while transforming your energy levels and health, Turner says.
What can I eat?
Foods you can eat include lean protein (chicken breasts, eggs, and wild-caught fish); vegetables and most fruit; chia seeds, flaxseeds, and most nuts; olive oil and some other unsaturated oils and fats, like canola oil; and whole grains like buckwheat, brown rice, and quinoa.
What do I need to eat less?
To quickly see the results, you need to try to avoid or reduce the use of products such as: caffeine, alcohol, fried foods, processed meat, peanuts, saturated fat, full-fat dairy, artificial sweeteners, and simple high-GI carbs like white bread.
How often should I eat?
You'll eat often (every 3-4 hours) – making healthy food choices at least 80% of the time.

Turner recommends getting roughly 30 minutes of exercise 6 days a week in a mix of strength training, cardio, interval training, and yoga.
