Lose It Forever: The 6 Habits of Successful Weight Losers from the National Weight Control Registry
About this ebook
Don’t rely on your neighbor’s latest gym stories or diet fad. Lose It Forever is a cutting-edge self-help book based on data from the National Weight Control Registry. Inside, you’ll learn what’s worked for the thousands of others trying to lose weight fast—and keep it there.
Despite the overflowing bookshelves of dieting tips and health books, the United States remains the most overweight country in the world. Most people who work towards successful fat loss just gain weight back a few weeks later. And frankly, many of us are just always hungry or overeating. So, what’s unique about those who succeed? The answer is buried deep in the archives at the Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center, home to the largest study of successful long-term weight loss maintenance.
?The National Weight Control Registry includes data from more than ten-thousand individuals about their weight, nutrition and fitness habits, and weight management strategies. This is where Jason Karp comes in—a nationally-certified coach, medical doctor devoted to healthy living, and the founder of the REVO2LUTION RUNNINGTM certification program. In his unique food book, he boils data down into actionable tips and wellness strategies for your everyday life. Inside, you’ll learn that not all carbs are bad, eating can increase energy, and maintainable ways to:
- Monitor your fats, carbohydrates, and protein
- Exercise (a lot!) daily
- Control your calorie intake with diets that work
