The Equation: The 5-Step Formula for Weight-Loss and Lifelong FitnessDan Isaacson has studied the "energy balance" that is constantly at work within the human body and has developed specific guidelines for living a healthier life based on that dynamic. Already featured in Parade and Rolling Stone and implemented by too many celebrities to name, Isaacson's "Equation" provides both the inspiration and the techniques with which people can improve their appearance, their health, and their lives. It includes: * Finding the right balance of input to output-a personal fitness equation * Worksheets for taking stock of your daily "body bill" * Surefire tips for increasing quality of life, decreasing stress, and losing fat fast * Customized plans for losing 5, 10, 20, or 50 pounds. Best of all, the word "diet" never even enters into Isaacson's equation; instead, this easy-to-follow program capitalizes on the fact that humans are creatures of habit, and promises startling results based on small but significant changes in day-to-day behavior. |
