Friendly, reassuring inspiring funny and loaded with personal anecdotes(a
trip to the drive-through for one last hurrah), why low-fat products can
sabotage your diet success, and why your 'ideal weight" might not be the
right weight for you. She dishes the dirt on diet fads (she's tried them
all) and explains why they just don't work, identifies the diets that
can lead to serious health problems, and offers up a recipe for successful
dieting. Next, she blows the lid off exercise fads, explaining how and
why many are designed to fail, and then details how you can succeed with
your own routine. Also inside:
- the importance of having a game plan for weight loss
- the joy of having a weight-loss buddy
- the first week survival guide
- the perils of weighing in
- the five biggest motivation zappers, and what you can do to avoid them
- the morning after: cheating, forgiving yourself, and moving on
- the joys and perils of success and how not to let success derail you
