Lose Weight Now, book cover

Simplifying weight control, the book’s objective is to help people achieve their weight goal using psychological reprogramming techniques and motivational guidance. Strictly forbidding the use of the word dieting, the writer recommends a change of attitude, setting an ideal target weight on a future date, understanding the root cause of overweight, quitting poor eating habits to embrace healthy food, and becoming physically active, in order to remain fit for life. Famous quotations on the subject along with ample case studies keep the book interesting.
Look Younger Live Longer, book cover
Look Young Live Longer deals with the contemporary preoccupation of remaining young and energetic. A summation of the first three books, this title talks of healthy eating, hydration, exercise and fitness, self-esteem and a positive mental attitude, sound sleeping practices, coping with financial and relationship stresses and embracing a positive attitude towards life. Stating that there is no quick fix for looking younger and long life, the writer aims to inspire readers to adopt a holistic approach to better health and happiness.
