THE FOUR DAY WIN How to End Your Diet War and Achieve Thinner Peace Four Days at a Time

The premise of this appealing lesson is that early wins (such as noticeable weight loss after four days of calorie reduction and exercise) can breathe fire into anyone's desire to lose weight. Sounding determined but not fanatical, the life coach and media celebrity references almost every aspect of personal change known to man and offers many useful suggestions. Illustrated with short case histories, the book has something for everyone--from the latest neuroscience discoveries to what works for everyday people at Jenny Craig. Beck's likable voice becomes even more endearing as she unfolds her ideas intelligently and with reasonable optimism. One of the CDs has helpful forms and information that can be printed.
