From Fad to Fab*: Ditch the Fad Diets for a Fabulous Life

By Colleen Rowe

Are you or some of your loved ones part of the two-thirds of American adults who are overweight or obese? Do you simply want to shed a few pounds? This book will show you how to lose weight, look younger and feel better, sooner than you might think. But, it holds no secrets, only simple scientifically proven methods. So, why isnt everyone in great shape? Because most people believe the myths, no downright lies, told by the more than $70 billion dollar diet and over $5 billion dollar exercise industries. They sell expensive magic potions and special devices or convoluted programs with big shot celebrity, airhead not expert, endorsements that promise results with little or no effort. The truth is that with very little money, and only modest effort, but plenty of knowledge, you can become healthy and fit and remain that way for life. In this book, I use the knowledge I gained earning a Bachelors in dietetics from Colorado State University, one of the top-ranking schools in the country, as well as my work experience from over a decade in human services including health care facilities, a weight loss center, and finally my own highly successful health and wellness consulting business, to guide you through debunking all the diet myths out there. This book will help you learn what can happen if you refuse to change and show you the major things you may be doing to cause potentially permanent damage to your body. It will enable you to see how through diet, in the realistic healthy sense, physical activity or exercise, and a few basic supplements, coupled with a holistic approach, you can absolutely change your life. Finally, it includes brief personal interjections about me, as a new mother who had to work to lose the baby weight, and others I have helped use these principles to achieve remarkable results; and the best part is these results are actually typical. Yes, most of the chapters in this book contain scientific and medical information, but you will understand it, and you must, because knowledge really is power. As a former school teacher and college professor with a Masters in education and nearly six years in the classroom, I often use humor to keep things light and entertaining, because, lets face it, you cant learn if youre asleep. All the big scary words are defined plainly and the explanations are repeated often so you never have to go back and look them up. Lots of mental pictures and vivid descriptions illustrate ideas clearly to show you the reality and shock you into action. This book will show you how to be healthier and wealthier whether you want to lose 10 pounds or need to lose 210 pounds. It will help you go from wandering around aimlessly between fad products or programs to having an absolutely fabulous life!!
