Americans are obsessed with diets and dieting products, but they are commitment-phobes when it comes to weight loss. How can women stop chasing quick fixes to embrace a long-term lifestyle transformation that leads to weight loss and well-being? Personal trainer and former dieting extremist Elliott Young shows readers how to exchange dieting for healthy living as they: adopt new skills in the six-week starter K.I.S.S. plan; eat nutrient-rich foods and practice portion control; reap the emotional and spiritual rewards of real change. With inspiring stories, exercise and food plans, and proven solutions, Young offers a life change for women wanting to be fit in mind, body, and soul-and who want to kiss failure goodbye.
