The No-Beach, No-Zone, No-Nonsense Weight Loss Plan is based on a "what works" review of the last forty-plus years of weight-loss research. The author has painstakingly analyzed hundreds of studies from peer-reviewed journals to uncover just exactly how successful dieters manage to take the weight off and keep it off. After this extensive review, only those diet and exercise strategies showing effectiveness in randomized controlled trials (the highest form of proof in medical research) were combined to create one easy-to-use program. Also included are handy calorie-intake cards and exercise strategy cards to help keep the readers focused on a daily basis.
