Lose weight and change your eating habits one step at a time. Based on the best-selling books Thin for Life and Eating Thin for Life, this inspiring journal gives you techniques that worked for hundreds of people who lost weight permanently. Thin for Life Daybook should be the constant companion of anyone seeking to lose weight. This spiral-bound journal combines the best of a diet counselor and weight-loss support group, and makes you an active participant. To teach tactics that work for long-term weight control, author Anne Fletcher has studied 200 "masters of weight control" who have succeeded at losing at least 20 pounds (average: 64 pounds) and keeping the weight off for 3-plus years (average: 10 years). They have found the keys to personalizing a weight-loss program and making it a way of life. Fletcher shares their strategies in her earlier books, Thin for Life and Eating Thin for Life. This book, which is organized into a year's worth of weekly sections, lets you examine and record your own weight-loss process. Each week offers "Weekly Wisdom"--tips from the masters on a theme such as behavior modification, avoiding deprivation, committing to exercise, and specific ways to change eating choices--along with a menu suggestion. The reader fills in "goal(s) for this week"; "anticipated obstacles"; "possible solutions"; an "exercise plan"; a daily log of food, exercise, and accomplishments; and "what really helped this week." Using the Daybook is a valuable step toward becoming a "master" yourself. --Joan Price

From one of the top nutritionists in the United States comes a revolutionary diet plan. The keys to overweight are liver toxicity, waterlogged tissues, fear of eating fat, excess insulin, and stress, asserts nutritionist Ann Louise Gittleman. Her Fat Flush Plan addresses these problems with a targeted diet. The Fat Flush Plan, filled with nutritional analysis and detailed explanations, is not a quick read. Despite Gittleman's assertion that the plan is "as easy as 1-2-3," it is quite regimented. No white flour, white sugar, margarine, vegetable shortening, artificial sweeteners, or caffeine. The diet emphasizes essential oils (e.g., flaxseed and GLA), protein (eight ounces or more, plus two eggs a day), vegetables, thermogenic spices (e.g., ginger and cayenne), water, and diuretic beverages (eight glasses/day of diluted, unsweetened cranberry juice). In its first two-week phase, the plan is a rigid, low calorie (1,100-1,200 calories/day), low-carb (no grains or starchy vegetables) diet. Phase two lets you increase your calories to 1,500 and add two "friendly carbs." Phase three, the "lifestyle program," moderately adds more dairy, carbs, and calories. Gittleman promotes walking and recommends strength training in phase three. The book includes 41 recipes such as Grilled Lamb Chops with Cinnamon and Coriander, Breakfast Egg Fu Yung, and Cumin Sautéed Scallops. The Fat Flush Plan is recommended for dieters willing to commit to a strict plan for weight loss. --Joan Price

Dr. Dennis Gage, M.D. obesity expert and endocrinologist urges Americans to give up one day of unhealthy food and donate the value of the item to relief agencies to help Tsunami survivors. The disastrous Tsunami has given every American a unique chance to save a life, a human being, the most precious commodity in the world. Here is how you can help: Each American can for one day of the year give up one item of food, in particular an unhealthy item such as soda, a fast-food meal, one pack of cigarettes, a fattening dessert, or an unhealthy snack. Take the value of the item and send a donation to the relief agencies that help Tsunami survivors. Is there any better way of giving "TLC"? For you, there is not only the knowledge and satisfaction of helping others, but you have ironically helped yourself. The unfortunate events that occurred in the Indian Ocean may have been prevented by having had a "Red Alert Warning System in place to warn coastal residents of potential Tsunami events. Unfortunately this was not in place and so many lives were lost. Secretary of State Colin Powell visited Thailand and pledged U.S. support for a regional warning system in hopes of preventing such massive loss of life from future tsunamis. Dr. Dennis Gage, M.D., Obesity Expert and Endocrinologist states "It is such an unusual situation to talk about a "Red Alert" in the United States. We always think of defending our country, but so many patients in my practice who have suffered from obesity have failed to sound a "Red Alert" after losing weight and this is the major problem that faces many people in this country where thousands of lives are lost because a "Red Alert" again is not sounded". A "Red Alert Warning System" when used by people would save thousands of lives even in the United States by preventing the ravages and destruction that is caused by the epidemic of obesity. Three quarters of Americans are overweight and we are killing ourselves with the epidemic of obesity. So by giving up an indulgence, you are giving yourself a ...

The Body Fat Solution is Tom Venutos complete program designed to help you lose body fat, build muscle, and keep the weight off for good. By now, we all know that we gain fat when we take in more calories than we burn. But were not always rational creatures when it comes to food. Venuto provides a sound plan that will help us put the brakes on overeating by pinpointing the mental roadblocks and emotional eating patterns that are preventing us from losing weight for good. Guiding readers to dig deeper, The Body Fat Solution explores: Why it is so difficult to balance calorie output with input What prevents people from eating appropriately and exercising more The emotional and psychological factors that sabotage success Tom Venuto reminds us that calories do count! But The Body Fat Solution is neither super low carb nor super low fat, and he steers clear of demonizing entire food groups. Instead, Venuto shows how to personalize an eating plan that takes into account your unique metabolism and calorie needs. He then presents workout programs to maximize the success of the diet plan that are fast and efficient, enabling you to quickly achieve your goal of replacing fat with lean muscle. Tapping into his years of training expertise and personal experience, Venuto helps readers change their relationship with food, empowers them to take charge of their lives, and delivers a program that promises dramatic and permanent results.
