Weight Control Recipes Cookbook
by Rebecca J. HuntHere you will find over 120 recipes that I have used this past year to help my husband and myself to control our weights. It's not a diet that you will want to use for a limited period of time to drop pounds. It's a collection of recipes that you will want to incorporate into your life for the rest of your life. I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I've enjoyed developing them and putting them together into this collection. They will provide you with variety, suggested servings based on guidelines found at many health related and government websites, and flavor, flavor, and more flavor. In the back of the book you will find three weeks of suggested menus. These menus will help you plan for your success. Modify them to fit the needs of both you and your family. Simply keep your proportions along the same lines. If you don't drink wine, skip the glass of wine with dinner. If you don't care for yogurt, substitute a glass of nonfat milk. You get the basic idea.

Weight Loss Boss: How to Finally Win at Losing--and Take Charge in an Out-of-Control Food World
by David KirchhoffWeight Loss Boss is a frank, funny, and groundbreaking guide to surviving and thriving in an obesogenic world, from the CEO of Weight Watchers International.We live in a dangerous food world, full of temptation and instant gratification. No wonder obesity among Americans has tripled since the 1960s—and that those prone to weight gain fail over and over to maintain their hard-won goals. Simply put, our brains and environments are stacked against us. Simplistic willpower-based and food-focused diets will never bring lasting change. But a solution is within reach—one that will help readers live better, longer, and more happily. In fact, David Kirchhoff isn't just the President and CEO of Weight Watchers—he's also one of its biggest success stories. In his pursuit of a trim physique, Kirchhoff divulges his slide into full-fledged obesity, his struggles to manage his relationship with food, and to find an exercise regimen that sticks. Drawing on the latest scientific research and numerous other inspiring personal stories, he makes the case that the only recipe for long-term success is to radically shift our mindset when thinking about obesity and adopting a healthy lifestyle that stays with us for good. This requires incorporating positive habits that become second nature, and rigorously managing one's food environment—as well as embracing practical behavior-change tools and other sustainable maintenance strategies. In the light of a new, healthier lifestyle that helps readers look good and feel good, change isn't a burden--it's a release.
Weight Loss Boss: How to Finally Win at Losing--and Take Charge in an Out-of-Control Food World

It challenges us to make lasting and satisfying changes in our life that allow us to succeed by ... Choosing not to live in deprivation and loving the supremely tasty, nutrient-dense, low-calorie, and satisfying foods that love us right back; Throwing willpower out the window in favor of strategies to create habits and patterns that we can keep forever; Learning to manage our environment so that lasting change becomes automatic, not an endless struggle; Embracing the tools and support that empower us to transform repeated cycles of defeat into a journey of continued success and growth.

Weight Loss Forever!: NO FADS. NO DIETS. NO STRESS. GET RESULTS IMMEDIATELY!
by Linda GabrielHow is this program different?What if I told you that it's as important to manage the thoughts you feel yourself as it is to manage the food you eat? What if your physical condition is simply a reflection of your inner world? Perhaps in the past you have managed to lose weight through diet and exercise alone. However if you didn't address the underlying subconscious thoughts that created the problem in the first place, the weight probably returned.As a hypnotherapist I have come to deeply respect the power of the subconscious mind. I believe the root cause of becoming overweight is usually mental, emotional and spiritual, rather than physical. When you change your mind, the body follows automatically. Then you lose weight easily, steadily, seemingly without effort.-Linda Gabriel

Weight Management: A Teen's Guide To Weight Management (Young Adult's Guide to the Science of He #15)
by Elizabeth BauchnerDo you need to lose a few pounds? Are you overweight--or are you just built differently from the "Barbie-doll" (or "Ken-doll") shape? Sometimes it's hard to tell. In a culture that insists we all have to be model-thin, it's hard to judge. Dieting is a big business that sells books, magazines, and food products. In the midst of so many conflicting messages, it can be hard to sort out fact from fiction. We all want to look our best--and at the same time, we all hate to deny ourselves our favorite foods! Healthy weight management is all about achieving the weight that's right for you--and this book will give you the facts you need to determine what is right for you. Your ideal weight will depend on many factors--your height, your body type, your gender, your age--but there are at least two common factors for successful weight management: regular exercise and a balanced diet. Forget "diets" and focus instead on a lifetime of healthy habits. In the long run, weight management is not about denying yourself. It's about providing your body with what it truly needs--and this book will tell you how.
