Do you want to lose weight and keep it off? Now you can! In this comprehensive course, you’ll discover how to establish a healthy approach to weight loss and weight maintenance. You’ll master how to set and achieve weight-loss and weight-maintenance goals that make sense for you.
Naturally, we’ll begin with a discussion of the role of food in weight loss and weight maintenance. But we’ll talk about far more than calories. From understanding food composition, portion sizes, and preparation methods, to meal composition and meal timing, you’ll learn food basics—and beyond! You’ll discover how to eat out without jeopardizing your weight loss or disappointing your taste buds. We’ll also discuss the basics of planning and preparing meals at home, and uncover tips and tricks for navigating the social elements of eating.
You may already appreciate that exercise is part of successful weight loss and weight maintenance. You may even know the differences between cardiorespiratory exercise, strength training, and lifestyle activity. We’ll review these terms, and more important, discuss how to find exercise and activity that’s enjoyable and helps you meet your weight-loss and weight-maintenance goals. You’ll also discover how to take exercise to the next level and uncover thought patterns that negatively affect exercise and activity. Then we’ll identify ways to overcome the challenges to regular exercise and activity.
We’ll determine the role of hydration in weight loss and explore how to overcome obstacles to good hydration. You’ll see how your thoughts affect your weight and evaluate the role of body image, emotional eating, and more in your own life. We’ll examine how important sleep is in weight loss, and you’ll learn how to get better sleep and cope effectively with sleeplessness.
We’ll also probe the effects of stress on the body relative to weight and how to apply stress management techniques for weight loss and weight maintenance. You’ll determine how other factors that affect weight, like genetics, pregnancy, menopause, aging, and cravings may be affecting your weight loss efforts—and learn practical strategies you can use to minimize their effects.
And since you don’t want to lose weight only to gain it back again, we’ll determine the differences between weight loss and weight maintenance, and see how to master the obstacles to weight maintenance. By the end of this course, you’ll know how to set appropriate and effective goals for eating, exercise, and many other elements that affect your weight. You’ll have the skills you need to lose weight and keep it off for a lifetime!

Pingback: how to eat healthy everyday
I bought this book as a last resort after being absolutely fed up with starving myself and other such things with no lasting result. Even after the first day of doing this program, my lethargy is gone, my posture is better, I feel stronger and more energetic. I find myself dancing and singing in the shower as I do these exercises! I am definitely losing weight, but even if I weren’t, I would still do this program; it gives me a new outlook on my day. An added bonus: I’m a trained singer, and these exercises work wonders for breath control! If there is one weight loss book you buy, make it this one. It’s not only about losing weight; it’s about becoming an overall healthy human being, and that’s something anyone can appreciate.
For me, this program is the eye-opener for permanent weight loss. In addition to fantastic tools for weight loss, there are incredible tools to improve the overall quality of your life by changing the way you view your life. I recommend purchasing the CD along with the book so you can listen to the author and benefit from her incredible energy. I wish I would have known about the techniques in this book/CD years ago!
