This book offers a new approach to weight control with a comprehensive program based on foods that are very low in fat, high in fiber and carbohydrates, and modest in protein. Readers will learn how to boost their metabolic rate through food selection, shift their menu from calorie-dense fatty foods to foods with a much better nutrient make-up, and bring in other ways to burn calories more effectively. Divided into three parts, Part One teaches the basic concepts that are essential to a permanent slimming-down program; Part Two shows which new foods to try, with convenient menus and recipes, and a simple program for physical activity; and Part Three provides advanced information to solidify your gains and keep the weight off. Following this program will help you to slim down naturally and steadily.
