For the first time in our history, scientists are
uncovering astounding medical evidence about dieting -- and
why so many of us struggle with our weight and the size of
our waists. Now researchers are unraveling biological
secrets about such things as why you crave chocolate or
gorge at buffets or store so much fat.
Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz, America's
most trusted doctor team and authors of the bestselling
YOU series, are now translating this cutting-edge
information to help you shave inches off your waist. They're
going to do it by giving you the best weapon against fat:
knowledge. By understanding how your body's fat-storing and
fat-burning systems work, you're going to learn how to crack
the code on true and lifelong waist management.
Roizen and Oz will invigorate you with
equal parts information, motivation, and change-your-life
action to show you how your brain, stomach, hormones,
muscles, heart, genetics, and stress levels all interact
biologically to determine if your body is the size of a
baseball bat or of a baseball stadium. In YOU: On a
Diet, Roizen and Oz will redefine what a healthy figure
is, then take you through an under-theskin tour of the
organs that influence your body's size and its health.
You'll even be convinced that the key number to fixate on is
not your weight, but your waist size, which best indicates
the medical risks of storing too much fat.
Because the world has almost as many
diet plans as it has e-mail spammers, you'd think that just
about all of us would know everything there is to know about
dieting, about fat, and about the reasons why our bellies
have grown so large. YOU: On a Diet is much more than
a diet plan or a series of instructions and guidelines or a
faddish berries-only eating plan. It's a complete manual for
waist management. It will show you how to achieve and
maintain an ideal and healthy body size by providing a
lexicon according to which any weight-loss system can be
explained. YOU: On a Diet will serve as the operating
system that facilitates future evolution in our dieting
software. After you learn about the biology of your body and
the biology and psychology of fat, you'll be given the YOU
Diet and YOU Workout. Both are easy to learn, follow, and
maintain. Following a two-week rebooting program will help
you lose up to two inches from your waist right from the
start.
With Roizen and Oz's
signature accessibility, wit, and humor, YOU: On a Diet
-- The Owner's Manual for Waist Management will
revolutionize the way you think about yourself and the food
you consume, so that you'll diet smart, not hard. Welcome to
your body on a diet.
