Have you have struggled with diets that fail you
again and again? Are you or your family members
frustrated with their attempts to lose weight? Are you
certain your thyroid is malfunctioning? Originally
created by Dr. Lisa Clark to help aid her patients with
weight management, Lighten Up, America presents a
handbook for healthy weight management through healthy
living, along with an easy-to-understand description of
how the body gains and loses weight. After working in
clinical medicine for fourteen years and spending
thousands of hours discussing weight loss with her
patients, Clark knew that a handbook with the important
points she discussed every day could help people looking
for advice. Part One, "Education Is the Key" considers
the secret to losing weight and really maintaining a
comfortable, healthy body weight. It can help you learn
how to balance calories in versus calories out-the real
key to weight loss. It also explores the dangers of
obesity and other health problems associated with
obesity. Part Two, "Age and Weight" addresses the life
stages of battling weight, from infancy to adulthood.
Included is commonsense information that can help you
attain a healthy weight by adapting to a healthy
lifestyle. Finally, Part Three, "Motivate Thyself" gives
tips and advice on developing discipline and making
healthy choices-not just during the weight-loss process,
but for the rest of your life. Written with honesty and
humor, Lighten Up, America seeks to educate patients on
achieving and maintaining their ideal body weight.
