Publisher's Synopsis

If you've struggled to lose weight, you're in good company. Maintaining a healthy weight has become an obsession – costing more than $50 billion on weight-loss products and services each year. But health experts now recommend that people follow a healthy diet rather than focusing on becoming thin. Many people have unrealistic expectations about how much weight they really need to lose. Losing just small amounts of weight – about 10% of your body weight – can improve your health.

In our reportHealthy Solutions to Lose Weight and Keep it Off, you'll learn:

  • The science behind many popular diet plans – which work and which don't
  • Which weight-loss aids pose a threat to your health
  • The facts about two popular weight-loss surgeries
  • How to tell if you have “metabolic syndrome”—a serious risk to your health
This report also includes a Special Bonus Section that features a week's worth of menus, including delicious and healthy recipes from the famed Culinary Institute of America.Healthy Solutions to Lose Weight and Keep it Offwill provide the tools you need to start a successful weight-loss program and stay healthy and fit for years to come.
