YES! U-CAN HAVE IT ALL...Healthy/Well-Balanced Lifestyle

"Fat Chance At Last!...How to Go Beyond Willpower" is a chance-of-a-lifetime available to readers for a Healthy, Well-Balanced, Have-It-All Lifestyle! In today's healthcare quagmire it is exciting to find a book that truly puts together so much practical, usable information, and provides so many logical insights into balancing the body for optimum health. Although the primary message in "Fat Chance At Last!..." is toward weight control, it becomes apparent that weight control falls naturally in place when the body is balanced. The escalating costs of health care and the uncertainty of mixed messages from special reports certainly have created the desire in every individual to responsibly take charge of one's own health with the best "assurance" available. "Fat Chance At Last..." will be a book that one will value and use as a reference book for years to come.Eileen Silva, a nationally known Metabolic Specialist, has created "Fat Chance At Last!..." a book unique for its ability to successfully incorporate a variety of disciplines for the educational edification of the reader.

However, it will soon become apparent that one may be missing something important, written in a previous chapter. To save time, start at the beginning. The insights absorbed will become one's own "inner" knowledge. "Fat Chance..." is liberally laced with humor, philosophies and plenty of "aha's". The information gained can be put to use immediately. It's a page-turning, easy read!The case histories and research in this book add to the book's value for "aware" medical practitioners, as well as the intelligent lay-person and fitness counselor. "Fat Chance At Last!..." is endorsed by a stellar group "Who's Who" of Doctors and Fitness Professionals. Eileen Silva refers to her book as "User Friendly". It is indeed that and more; it is an "essential" book for your library. If you have been in search of a natural,
