Physicians' biggest frustration is that the Fitness and Weight-loss Industry's main function is to SELL empty promises and false hope to the average consumer. The magic words, “Fast, Easy, and Effortless,” often makes otherwise intelligent people act totally stupid. Making matters worse, many of today's personal trainers and gyms are more focused on gimmicks — things they think you'll buy — than on sound exercise and weight-loss principles. In the USA, a Registered Dietitian is the gold standard for nutritional expertise. They are essentially “Diet Doctors." Their consensus is that Weight Loss is, and always will be, an energy equation: Calories-in vs. Calories-out. Any reasonably healthy diet that causes a daily calorie deficit will cause you to lose weight — it's that simple. People should stop overthinking Carbs, Protein, Fat, and Macro-Nutrient Ratios. Supplement companies and diet-book authors use them to over-complicate eating, to create an unrealistic benefit of each. Just about every TV infomercial promoting weight loss, six-pack abs, or a beautiful body, will ALWAYS have a disclaimer — so tiny you cannot read it — at the bottom of the TV screen: “These Results Are Not Typical,” or, “When Combined with Healthy Eating and Exercise.” The translation is that the product being advertised does not work as advertised. This informative book not only exposes the frauds, it is filled with mostly one-page, easy-to-understand explanations of the things people ask about, or, get wrong most often. Arthur Apolinario, MD, MPH, FAAFP has gone through the research for you to offer the simplest explanations of what you need to do to get healthy.

SOLD OUT - Before selecting your NEXT dieting, exercise, or weight-loss strategy, the smartest thing you can do is to resist the urge to follow any dieting, exercise, or weight-loss advice, blindly. Your best defense against getting fooled is to obtain your knowledge from (only) credible sources. The information in this book is based on sound exercise and nutritional science. Exactly the type of information an informed medical or health professional would recommend to their own patients or clients. In fact, this book continues to receive accolades from Physicians, Registered Dietitians, and other Informed Health Professionals. The Fitness & Weight-loss Industry continues to make billions annually by selling empty promises and false hope to uninformed consumers. Let's face it, the words “Fast”, “Easy”, and “Effortless” can often make otherwise intelligent people, act totally stupid. This book is filled with the easy-to-understand explanations of the diet, exercise, and weight-loss topics that people ask about or get wrong most often. No, this is not a “diet book”, and it is not an “exercise routine book”. Instead, this book makes nutritional and exercise-science easy to understand. Once you finish reading this book, you can expect to easily trouble-shoot any exercise routine and accurately assess any diet, and in-turn, understand why it may not be producing the results you are seeking. You will begin to lose body-fat immediately. You will begin to see dramatic results from a “smarter” workout routine. STOP getting fooled by myths, lies, and misinformation, and START achieving your best weight-loss and exercise results. It was my pleasure to collaborate with Dr. Arthur E. Apolinario, M.D., a board certified family physician in North Carolina to create this book. Author's Note: This book is re-titled version of Franny Goodrich's original book, "Diet, Exercise, & Weight-loss BullSh*t - Exposed!"

A houseful of clutter may not be the only reason people pack on extra pounds, but research proves that it plays a big role. A recent study showed that people with supercluttered homes were 77 percent more likely to be overweight or obese! Why? Author Peter Walsh thinks it’s because people can’t make their best choices--their healthiest choices--in a cluttered, messy, disorganized home. In Lose the Clutter, Lose the Weight, organizing guru Walsh comes to the rescue with a simple 6-week plan to help readers: • Clear their homes of excess "stuff" as they discover their vision for their personal space • Clear their bodies of excess pounds as they follow a healthy, supersimple eating and exercise plan • Clear their minds and spirits of the excess weight of too many possessions All the pieces are connected--and Walsh weaves them together for a 6-week program that leads readers step-by-step through decluttering their homes, their bodies, and their lives. Rodale took the program for a testdrive with two dozen volunteers who followed his plan. All reported great results--from significant weight loss to calmer minds and more organized, happier, and more efficient lives. With a room-by room organizing guide, plus supersimple recipes and an easy exercise plan, Lose the Clutter, Lose the Weight is the only book to help readers clear the clutter while they zap the pounds all at the same time.

Isn’t your desire to overeat really spiritual hunger? “I can stop in the middle of a candy bar and have no desire to eat the second half if my stomach is not calling for it.” - Gwen Shamblin Do you eat and eat and never feel full? Rise above the magnetic pull of the refrigerator and turn to the bounty offered to thousands who have embraced a liberating weight-reduction program in churches across America. The Weigh Down Diet gives new hope to millions who have failed on conventional diets and guides readers to the richer satisfaction that comes not from food, but from faith. Gwen Shamblin’s The Weigh Down Diet is a groundbreaking approach to weight loss. People who have known no end to their hunger and who have no control over their late-night binges have learned through the Weigh Down Workshop that they can remove the irresistible desire for food. This is not a diet like others, because it is not food-focused. It contains chapters such as “It’s Not Genetics or Your Mother’s Fault,” “I Feel Hungry All the Time,” and “How to Eat Potato Chips and Chocolate.” So, as you can see, here is a very different approach to weight loss. Weigh Down gives back hope to dieters who will learn that God did not put chocolate or lasagna on Earth to torture us – but rather for our enjoyment!
