"You've tried eating lots of protein, grape-fruit, rice cakes, or cottage cheese. You've tried not eating much of anything at all. You've tried diets recommended by doctors, models, actresses, or tabloids. But the pounds don't melt away like they're supposed to, and, even worse, they come back fast." "Bodystat can change all that. How? Not by changing the size of your dinner plate or how many times you chew your food or by sending you off to buy food you never heard of, but by changing your understanding of food and how your body uses it. In Bodystat, authors Eric Witt and Carol Wirth explain in clear, easy-to-understand language the scientific principles underlying the "set point" at which the body begins to resist fat loss, and how it can be reset. It's not time-consuming, expensive, complicated, or painful. In fact, it's as simple as low-fat eating and moderate exercise. Yes, you've heard that before, but here the authors walk you through how to understand labels, menus, and all that confusing exercise advice, so you can develop your own plan for lowering your fat "set point." Best of all, they offer lots of choices that you can tailor to your own preferences and habits." "Eric and Carol know their advice can help you, because it has helped so many of their friends and workshop participants. Carol's colleagues kept asking her how she could eat so much and look so good. They didn't know that Carol had yo-yoed for years while trying fad diets before she and Eric researched developing a healthier lifestyle that would work for them. Soon they were advising friends, then giving popular workshops, and now are sharing their ideas in Bodystat. They've included dozens of practical tips, twenty-seven of their favorite recipes, and, most important, the principles about diet and exercise that will empower you to be healthier and happier with your body - forever. You don't have to try to follow day-by-day diets full of food you hate or diagrammed exercises you can't figure out. With Bodystat you will see the big picture - and smile!"--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
