News: Weight Watchers Weight Loss That Lasts

This straightforward, kindly volume provides a logical discussion of weight loss and the steps required to achieve and sustain it. Rippe (Heart Disease for Dummies), founder of the Rippe Lifestyle Institute (a nutrition, exercise and medical research organization), shares his own stories of weight gain and loss in the book�s introduction, then spends the following 10 chapters breaking down what he identifies as the most popular weight-loss myths (e.g., �you can�t lose weight and keep it off�; �you can lose weight with exercise alone�; �calories don�t matter�avoid fats or carbs to lose weight successfully�; �you can boost your metabolism by what, how, and when you eat�). Each chapter includes an explanation of a myth and the kernels of truth and valid research that led to its perpetuation. [See Similar Topics]
