'Becoming Slimmer' is a no-nonsense, gimmick-free approach to weight control which exposes the flaws in many current diet fads and quick-fix solutions. This is the intelligent woman's lifetime approach to weight management, as opposed to the magazine-style 'diet of the week'.
A revolution in dietary management, this unique new medically-based weight control program for women is being endorsed by doctors throughout Australia. Professor Trim's Medically Supervised Weight Loss Program on which this book is based has been developed by obesity and lifestyle expert Dr Garry Egger, originator of the GutBuster program for men and author of 'Trim For Life'.
'Becoming Slim' provides over 200 easy-to-follow recommendations and tips to assist women with weight loss, covering subjects that are very specific to women's health and wellbeing: body image (the hype versus the reality), emotional issues of anxiety, depression and low self-esteem, hormones and basic biology and the latest news on nutrition and keeping the weight off.
With advice on monitoring exercise performance, reducing energy density in food (rather than fat or carbohydrate content), and learning how to manage stress-related 'binge eating', this very practical book provides women with the tools and support to create an effective lifestyle plan and enable them to successfully manage their weight.
