How the Rich Get Thin

OK, here's an exerpt from the latest book I'm, reading How the Rich Get Thin by Jana Klauer, M.D.:

"In this book, we will review the basics of diet and weight loss. Much of the information will be familiar, but I will explain the science of successful dieting so you know exactly what effect each and every food will have on your body. Once we have established the core "diet", we will discuss the nonnegotiables. They are amazingly simple and easily incorporated principles that you must add to your daily routine. They are called nonnegotiables because if you are serious about weight loss, YOU CANNOT SKIP THESE. They make all the difference in the world in helping my patients achieve their optimal weight. These are going to be your secret weapons as well.

Nonnegotiables

1. Daily exercise. You must schedule it into your routine. You need this for healthy muscles. Ig you don't exercise, you will get flabby and fat. It's that simple.

2. Protein. In a high-quality form, protein is vital for the functioning of your body. Include protein at every meal.

3. Calcium. This mineral is essential for increasing metabolism levels.

4. Conquering you food cravings. These can, and must, be managed. I will show you how to do this.*

5. Elimination of all processed food. Processed food has no benefit to your health and also stimulates appetite.

These nonnegotiable principles will make all the difference between those who go on diets, lose weight, and regain it back, and those who get rid of excess pounds for good. I know you can do it, as I have seen my patients enjoy great results with this message. It is hard work, no doubt, but the results are enormously gratifying and, most important, lasting." pp. xv-xvi
