The No-Beach, No-Zone, No-Nonsense Weight-Loss Plan: A Pocket Guide to What WorksPaperback, 27 January 2005

THE NO-BEACH, NO-ZONE, NO-NONSENSE WEIGHT-LOSS PLAN is based entirely on:

* an analysis of scientific studies, so that it is fact-based
* research on successful dieters that shows how they got the weight off and kept it off
* diet and exercise strategies that can be done at home

What is currently on the market: a lot of diet and weight loss books with gimmicks and a lot of fluff, but very few theories that are supported by randomized controlled trials. THE NO-BEACH, NO-ZONE, NO-NONSENSE WEIGHT-LOSS PLAN is the antithesis of these books. The author has reviewed the weight loss literature, found proven solutions, and put it all in a digestible format for the lay person.

The book contains self-help information on
* calculating calorie needs and determining your BMI
* the truth about cellulite and spot reducing
* whether your weight is threatening your health
* why your weight problem isn't all your fault
* calculating the percentage of fats, carbs and protein in your diet
* a little-known exercise strategy shown to work in many controlled trials
* detachable exercise and calorie count cards

THE NO-BEACH, NO-ZONE, NO-NONSENSE WEIGHT-LOSS PLAN is easy to read, practical, and contains a simple workable plan for anyone.
