Wie ist es möglich, abzunehmen und schlank zu bleiben, wenn man zuvor jahrelang nur zugelegt hat und einen die schlechten Gewohnheiten fest im Griff haben? Kein anderer kennt die Antwort so gut wie der Gesundheitsexperte Bob Greene, der im diätgeplagten Amerika als Spezialist für "schwierige Fälle" gilt. Nicht wenige seiner Klienten, zu denen auch die TV-Moderatorin Oprah Winfrey zählt, haben mit seiner Hilfe über 70 Kilogramm abgespeckt. Greenes 12-Wochen-Power-Programm beruht auf fünf einfachen Essensregeln sowie einem Trainingsplan, der laufend an den eigenen Fitnesszustand angepasst wird. Dabei zeigt sich Bob Greene als großartiger Motivator, der wie ein Personal Trainer hilft, all die körperlichen und emotionalen Hürden zu überwinden, die einem langfristigen Diäterfolg im Weg stehen. Schließlich geht es nicht nur darum, überflüssige Pfunde loszuwerden, sondern auch, Selbstbewusstsein aufzubauen und das Leben insgesamt zum Besseren zu wenden. So enthält dieser umfassende Ratgeber neben Ernährungsempfehlungen und einem bebilderten Fitnessteil auch zahlreiche Fallgeschichten aus dem wahren Leben, die Mut machen, seinen Lebensstil grundlegend zu ändern.

"Notes on the Kitchen Table" is a heartwarming collection of answers to that question--homespun advice that''s filled with love sent in by people who truly care.
