Publisher's Synopsis
This is the FOUNDATIONAL BOOK of the World Healthy-weight Empowerment Series. It's a new Second Edition that contains 8.5x11-inch pages for even easier reading and an additional chapter of optional tools for speeding healthy-weight achievement.
Now, imagine yourself living the rest of your life in your desired healthy-weight range, and doing it more easily and enjoyably than you ever thought possible. You can achieve this by applying the Healthy-weight Method disclosed in this book. And, most likely you can do it with less than eight minutes of dedicated time per day.
Also, you'll find the story of the Method's discovery fascinating. It was summer of '79. For several years I (the book's author) had been grappling with weight gain. My two chief weapons were "one-week diets" and "watching what I ate." Both were annoying; neither effective. Then I decided exercise might be my salvation. So in July 1979 at age 35 I took up bicycling. I figured it would enable me to eat as much as I wanted without gaining weight. And for many years it did, as long as I was logging over a hundred biking miles a week at vigorous speed.
But eventually by year 2000 the "exercise magic" petered out. I was 56 years old, and the happy scenario of eating as much as I liked and burning up the calories with vigorous cycling was no longer working. The reason it was no longer working was (a) at age 56 I had less muscle mass than at age 35, which resulted in burning fewer calories during biking, and (b) I was biking fewer miles and at a slower speed at 56 than at 35, which further resulted in burning fewer calories.
So, in 2000 I discovered, to my horror, that I was gaining weight in spite of bicycling. I was now back in the same bad predicament I was in in 1979: I was gaining weight and had no easy antidote for it. It was a bummer. But it triggered one of the most gratifying discoveries of my life: the discovery of how to maintain my weight exactly where I want it to be without pain, hassle, and yo-yo dieting ... and, if necessary, without exercise. The discovery happened between 2005 and 2007. It resulted in the Healthy-weight Method (described in the book).
Now here's what happened next. By applying the Method I've ended chronic weight gain once and for all. With that, I've been maintaining my weight in my desired weight range virtually EVERY day since year 2007. And, best of all, I've been doing it easily and enjoyably. In short, the Healthy-weight Method works! And, because it does I've written this book so you, too, can conquer chronic weight gain and enjoy lifelong healthy-weight living -- and do it more easily and enjoyably than you've likely ever thought possible. You'll love it!
You can benefit from the Healthy-weight Method in any of four ways. First, if you've lost weight and are now at your desired weight and want to easily stay that way, apply the Healthy-weight Method and you'll make the weight loss stick for life. Second, if you're presently in the process of losing weight and you want to do it more easily and enjoyably, do the Method in combination with the dietary program you're now pursuing and it'll become easier and more enjoyable. Third, if you've never been overweight and you want to ensure you easily stay non-overweight the rest of your life, start doing the Method and you'll easily prevent yourself from ever becoming overweight. Fourth, if you're overweight and you want to (a) reduce your weight to your desired healthy-weight range and then (b) live in your healthy-weight range the rest of your life, do the Method and it'll happen -- and most likely it'll happen more easily and enjoyably than you ever imagined.
