Weigh Less, Live Longer

Very satisfied with my order. This book was in excellent condition. Would order more from this site.

Just results, no gimmicks

If you are looking for the latest gimmick, this is not the book for you. If you are looking for a way to lose weight forever, and not regain it again, then we have something here. Dr. Aronne provides the reader with an easy to follow nutrition plan that shows the reader what it takes to be permanently successful at weight loss. Chapter 8 alone was worth the price of the book. In that chapter he tells you how to decrease you calories gradually with each ten percent weight drop. In this way, you are able to eat a decent amount and still lose weight, as well as give your body time to adjust to the new weight. In the end, you still end up with a decent calorie intake, and should be able to keep it up over a lifetime. To me it has been a lot less painless than some diets I had tried in my past that required cutting out whole food groups, or excessively low calorie intake. Folks, the truth of the matter is, if you are taking in too many calories, no matter what kind, they are going to end up somewhere on your anatomy. If you want to live a decent healthy life, you are going to cut back. The question is how much, how long, and just plain HOW. Dr. Aronne answers all of that, and even has suggestions for those of you who are especially resistant to weight loss. It works, it works, it works. The little needle on the scale is finally moving downward for a change. What's more, the diet is nutritionally sound, so for people like myself who have other health conerns, it is safe. Blessings, Dr. Aronne!
