The No-Beach, No-Zone, No-Nonsense Weight-Loss Plan : A Pocket Guide to What Works

Rating:
Summary: A diamond in the rough.
Review: A rare find among the bazillions of weight loss books available these days. Probably the only weight loss book you'll ever read whose strategies to lose weight come directly from what the author calls "controlled trials." Here's a little of what you'll find:

Chapter 1- busts all the popular myths about weight loss
(talk about an eye-opener)

Chapter 2- a good chapter that tells you the key to getting
yourself motivated and staying motivated to lose
weight (the best plan in the world is useless if
its never carried out as the book says)

Chapter 3- discusses the truth about diet and exercise as
ways to lose weight- all according to what the
scientific literature says (it could save you a lot
of trial and error time)

Chapter 4 and Chapter 5- the exercise and diet plans that have
proven to work in long term weight
loss studies

Chapter 6- reviews the literature that has studied people who
have successfully lost weight and kept it off--
their secrets

Chapter 7- how to put the whole program together, what to do in
the long run (shows how to use the program
successfully for the rest of your life- the book
is not just a quick fix)

All in all this is a great book, and is worth every penny.
