Are you tired of trying one diet program after another only
to find them full of gimmicks and empty promises of an easy
way out? Are you ready for straight talk on how to get
healthy, lose weight, and improve your quality of life once
and for all? Look, few things in life are simple and
straightforward, and losing weight is no different -- it's
not easy, and anyone who says otherwise is trying to pull a
fast one. Winning by Losing is a comprehensive,
inspirational, and real solution to your weight problems.
Taking a triple-threat approach, top television fitness
guru Jillian Michaels identifies and illuminates the three
keys to health and lasting weight loss so that you can
become a winner in mind, body, spirit, and life. SELF Transformation starts with you -- and this
first section focuses on the psychological and emotional
aspects of being overweight. Drawing on her own experience
with weight problems, Jillian offers invaluable practical
advice on how to identify the attitudes and behaviors that
may have sabotaged your weight-loss efforts in the past
and, most important, how to train your mind and alter your
habits so that you are committing all your resources to
true change. SCIENCE To find the diet plan that's best for you,
you have to learn the basics of nutrition and how your body
works. Part of the reason so many fad diets are ineffective
is that they are generically designed and do not meet your
different individual needs. With a simple quiz, you can
determine what type of metabolism you have, and create a
unique diet that works best for you. SWEAT When it comes to weight loss, diet without
exercise will get you nowhere fast -- so here's where the
hard work comes in. In part three, Jillian takes you on a
whirlwind tour of your major muscle groups and outlines the
best ways to train, tone, and strengthen your physique.
Included is her innovative and uniquely effective exercise
program -- a product of ten years' worth of working closely
with physical therapists -- incorporating both cardio and
resistance training. The program is designed to help you
shed weight safely and fast. So, are you ready to chuck the excuses and the quick-fix
fantasies and get real about what it takes to change your
life for the better? If so, this is the book for you. Come
on, losing has never felt so good!
