Change as a choice, and why crafting a picture of the person you want to become is pivotal to success
How to reap benefits far beyond weight loss, such as radiating warmth and self-confidence, and gaining greater self-esteem
Why medications can be safe and effective weight loss aids, but are not magic bullets
Learn how believing in yourself and your right to a better life is the most critical factor in lasting weight loss
Details on the three phases of an effective weight loss program, and how a medically-supervised program can position you for success
Understanding the power of exercise, and why it must be a part of your plan for success
Demystifying nutrition information, portion control, and food labels
Calculating your total daily energy expenditure, and why it's essential to create a calorie deficit
Designing a personal weight loss plan for long-term success utilizing several key components , and how a high quality, evidence-based plan can help
The book is sprinkled liberally with inspiring and uplifting quotes from many of the world's most talented and profound thinkers to keep readers motivated and focused. There is also a comprehensive appendix with clear and helpful tips, and extensive information on:
how to calculate your BMI, and determining the best range for your height and weight
simple tips to boost your activity level, including suggested exercises, and a pedometer log

contact information for a host of important groups including bariatric and nutritional organizations, and web sites on obesity, women's health, cancer and diabetes
More than a weight-reduction plan, Life-Changing Weight Loss will inspire readers to jump start their efforts to create a healthier life with a clear and concise blueprint on how to get rid of excess weight, raise energy levels, prevent diabetes, and improve metabolism. All of this is possible without depriving oneself of favorite foods or going on an exercise regimen only a tri-athlete could fulfill.
