Book Reviews of Thin for Life: 10 Keys to Success from People Who Have Lost Weight and Kept It Off
Book Review: An incredible confidence booster!
Summary: 5 Stars
During the process of losing 54 pounds, I began reading "Thin for Life" on the recommendation of a friend. First, this book is not a quick fix for anyone trying to lose weight. If you're a couch potato who is looking for a magic formula for weight loss, look somewhere else. What it is, however, is a sure-fire confidence builder, especially for those of us who have continuously lost weight and then gained it back. I can't count the number of times I've joined groups like Weight Watchers or TOPS and lost weight, only to pile it back on again (and then some) a few months later.
That's why this book is so helpful - it gave me the motivation and confidence I needed to not only lose the weight, but KEEP IT OFF! I didn't read it all in one sitting - instead, I would read a little bit before I went to bed each night and let it sink in. Knowing other people had kept off this weight - and reading about their successes and setbacks - helped keep me going. I've read it through once already, but because I know how much it has helped me, I am planning on reading through it again. It sits by my bed as a constant reminder of the pounds I've managed to lose and the vigilance I must continue to keep on with my success.
Summary of Thin for Life: 10 Keys to Success from People Who Have Lost Weight and Kept It Off
In this new edition of the acclaimed bestseller, award-winning nutritionist Anne M. Fletcher incorporates exciting recent scientific research to show that permanent weight loss is far easier than is commonly believed. Whether you want to lose 10 pounds or 100, Thin for Life will help you master your weight problem by sharing the techniques of the real experts -- hundreds of women and men who have lost weight for good.What a novel idea: if you want to know how to successfully lose weight, study the real experts--the people who have done it! Registered dietician Anne Fletcher did just that. She surveyed 160 "masters" who succeeded in losing at least 20 pounds and keeping the weight off for at least 3 years. This was the minimum; most lost far more weight--an average of 63 pounds--and more than one-third have kept the weight off for a decade or more.
How did they do it? Thin for Life presents their success stories, strategies, motivation, inspiration, and tricks. Most had tried "many times and many ways" to lose weight before discovering what worked for them and how to prevent and recover from relapses. Some techniques worked for many--such as keeping a food diary and increasing exercise. Others were highly individual and will spur you to do your own creative thinking. Fletcher compiles the "10 keys to success" that emerged most often, lets the masters speak for themselves throughout the book, and fills in additional, valuable information and resources. Whether you have 10 pounds to lose or 100, this book will help you do it--safely, effectively, and permanently. Highly recommended. --Joan Price
