Weight-Loss Winners: How do they do it?You can lose weight on any diet, but if you want to keep it off, read Thin for Life, 2nd edition, by Anne M. Fletcher, M.S., R.D. (Houghton Mifflin, 2003). Since the 1980s, Fletcher has been studying the "masters" ÷ people who have lost, on average, 63 pounds and kept the weight off, more than one-third of them for 10-plus years. Their secrets? All weight-loss masters follow 10 similar steps, regardless of whether they had dieted before, joined a weight-loss program or developed their own plan, or had 10 or 100 pounds to lose. These "10 Keys to Success" include Take the Reins (decide to lose weight just for yourself), Nip It in the Bud (break the relapse cycle) and Move It to Lose It (the critical difference between weight maintainers and regainers is a commitment to exercise). Each step is described in detail, along with practical ways to incorporate it into your life. This new edition includes the latest research and new resource sections on diet programs and Internet sites, sample diet plans and recipes. ÷ Elizabeth Somer, M.A., R.D.
