The Weight-Loss Bible - Hardcover

This is the definitive guide to no-nonsense slimming that will help you achieve your ideal weight NOW. The Weight-Loss Bible promises instant results by customising diets and exercise plans to work for you and your family, and building up from the basics to ensure you lose your target weight in effective, sustainable programmes for 5, 10, 20, 30 and even 40lbs at a time. A one-size-fits-all approach does not apply here so The Weight-Loss Bible helps you decide on a realistic plan that suits your body shape, your previous diet history and your current motivations. Drawing on her extensive sports science research and practical experience, Joanna provides you with the knowledge to understand your body and gives you key guiding principles that will get you through the difficult cravings and help you stay slim on a permanent basis. You will learn how to motivate yourself psychologically for weight loss, how to encourage your metabolism to work for you, how to eat healthily but still remain energetic and how to exercise without even putting on your trainers. Joanna's tasty, nutritious eating plans balance macro with micro nutrients and rule out hunger pangs and sugar lows, and her fat-burning, muscle-sculpting exercises guarantee great results and curves in all the right places. The Weight-Loss Bible gives you not so much a diet as a way of life. It is the action plan that will bring out the best in you.
