The Lean Belly Prescription
Written by Travis Stork, MD, host of The Doctors TV show, The Lean Belly Prescription is “the cure for belly fat.” Dr. Stork has seen the chronic health problems that arise from excess belly fat – heart disease, stroke, diabetes, sexual dysfunction and more – and formulated the Lean Belly Prescription to help you lose weight safely and forever, give you a diet with foods you love so you don’t feel deprived, get you on an exercise plan that targets belly fat and persuade you that losing weight is the only way you are going to add years to your life. The diet book features a “Pick 3 to Lean” plan as well as delicious recipes for a lean belly and illustrated exercises to help you boost your metabolism with muscle mass.
The Self-Compassion Diet
Combining the best of four proven weight loss methods – self-love, mindfulness, self-hypnosis and group support – author Jean Fain, a licensed psychotherapist, teaches you to truly accept yourself and by doing so achieve remarkable physical changes that don’t require restrictive dieting or pummeling workouts. If you’ve failed again and again with traditional dieting methods, it might be time to embrace The Self-Compassion Diet and approach weight loss with a mind-body approach that will greatly improve your body image and the chances of long-term success. Certainly not your typical diet book, The Self-Compassion Diet proves that loving kindness to yourself is more effective than any diet food or miracle diet – you’ll lose weight all while gaining respect and love for yourself.
Diet Drama
Diet Drama, written by Nancy Redd, a Harvard graduate and former Miss Virginia who has been a suffering size 0 to an embarrassed size 12, has three principles: feed your body, move your body and love your body. As a way to reach out to girls and women who are struggling with socially pressured body image issues, Redd uses her life experiences and fun, frank attitude toward weight to demonstrate that one size does not fit all. In addition to tips for feeling better about yourself and your size, Diet Drama delivers sample food and exercise plans, photos of serving sizes for portion control, images of real-life body types and lots of inspiration and motivation to eat healthfully (and realistically), exercise and commit to self-care.
