(HealthNewsDigest.com) – Many diet books present readers with a single, inflexible program, and they are either forced to stay on it forever or face another dieting failure. But rather than teach you just one way to lose ten or twenty or even fifty pounds, THE FLEX DIET: Design-Your-Own Weight Loss Plan (Touchstone Hardcover / Simon & Schuster; January 4, 2011; $24.99; ISBN: 978-1-4391-5569-1) by Dr. James Beckerman, a cardiologist, will teach you how to lose a single pound…in 200 different ways. Dr. Beckerman is the heart expert for WebMD.com and the weight loss / healthy living expert for MedHelp.org.
Mr. S is the patient who inspired the entire program – he was getting ready one morning to climb on the elliptical machine and suddenly went into cardiac arrest before he could press “START.” After days on life support, he had a miraculous recovery, and a few weeks later you never would have known how close he had been to death. But at his follow-up visit, he had just one question for Dr. Beckerman: “How can I lose this weight?”
Dr. Beckerman decided he needed to do something to help Mr. S and others like him. And unlike him. He set out to create a universal program that can be practiced by the most diverse demographic, regardless of specific weight loss goals or even timeframe. Dr. Beckerman provides 200 Solutions to help you lose twenty pounds in less than eight weeks, and also provides you with the tools to create a boutique weight loss program depending on your own needs and lifestyle.
THE FLEX DIET is divided into three parts:
* Today is a two week phase where you begin to make the changes to diet and lifestyle that will last a lifetime. Selecting from a variety of engaging choices, you create the diet that best suits you to prevent early burnout and frustration.
* Every Day is a three week phase that introduces meal plans for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, full of tasty recipes and complete nutritional information along with heart healthy exercise and lifestyle regimens.
* Your Way offers you the tools needed for a lifetime of success and healthy living by giving you the opportunity to further personalize your plan. You choose, you lose.
Weight loss is the goal. It’s a number. It’s a dress size. And it feels like a deadline. But you cannot live your life day to day with only the big picture in mind. It becomes too easy to misstep and feel that you have to start all over again. Losing weight always begins with a single pound.
Eat. Drink. Exercise. Act. Live. By understanding 200 different weight loss Solutions, you can learn to combine them to reach your own personal goals. THE FLEX DIET teaches you to be flexible, one pound at a time, so that you can keep going toward where you want to be. It’s your solution, and it bends so you don’t break.
“Loaded with evidence-based information, accessible advice, and easy instructions, Dr. Beckerman provides an exciting new approach to a new you! Cardiovascular disease remains the number one killer, and February is national heart month. Finding your solution today will keep you healthier tomorrow.”
