The World-renowned Programme for Healthy and Sustainable Weight Loss.
The Duke Diet and Fitness Center in America - affiliated to Duke University - is the most prestigious residential weight loss programme in America, and the only one based in a medical school. For almost 40 years, the centre has yielded stunning results: dieters lose an average of 3 pounds per week and 42 per cent of participants sustain their weight loss for at least 5 years. Until now, only the privileged few who can commit the time (the residential programme lasts 4 weeks) and money (it costs over $7000) have been able to participate in the programme, but this groundbreaking book will make it available to everyone. 'The Duke Diet' is unique because of its comprehensive, two tiered, physical and psychological approach to weight loss. Written by both a medical doctor and a psychologist, it shows dieters that slimming down is not just about finding new ways to eat and exercise but also about learning new ways to think about food, fitness and a healthy lifestyle. The book includes: Two delicious diet plans, with different carb levels; Four weeks of easy to use menu plans and recipes straight from the Duke kitchen; Advice for changing how you feel about your body and how you deal with food; Easy to follow charts and exercise plans; and, real life patient success stories from people who have completed the programme. 'The Duke Diet' is poised to become the diet book of the year.
