nutrition expert from the
Today
show and iVillage. com?tools that really
work to lose weight and keep it off
As a clinician, researcher, and
media expert, Dr. Madelyn Fernstrom knows how you can lose weight. Her
toolbox approach to weight loss is different from standard
one-size-fits-all programs because you don't need to adapt to the
plan; this plan adapts to you. It introduces you to the four
types of tools that must work together for effective weight loss:
eating, activity, behavior, and medical/biological. Do you overeat
from stress or boredom? Do you like to exercise alone or with a group?
The answers to these questions and others will unlock the unique
weight-loss toolkit that's right for you. With some honest
self-evaluation, you'll be able to explore and compare all of the
options for weight loss in a single book. The right combination of
tools, hand-picked by you, will support your weight loss and, later,
weight stability over the long haul.
