Now in paperback, the latest book in the New York Times bestselling, one-million-copy-plus Younger Next Year franchise. The book that tells every reader how to lose weight, discover new vitality, and get in the best shape of your life. The book with the no-nonsense, no-BS, no-shortcuts approach. The book that shows that there's a revolution in aging going on. The book that is the how-to of that revolution. Chris Crowley, the memorable patient and coauthor of Younger Next Year, partners with Jen Sacheck, a nutritionist and fitness expert from Tufts University, and in lively, alternating chapters they spell out a weight-loss plan that will have readers losing up to 25 pounds in the first six months -- and, much more significantly, keeping it off next year, and the year after, and so on, for life. The message is straightforward and based on the most up-to-date nutritional science: resist the added-fat, added-sugar concoctions created by the food industry; skip the supplements; pile on fruits and vegetables to your heart's content, but it's OK to eat lean meats, too; and don't drink your calories. And exercise! With its simple, fully illustrated program of 25 "sacred exercises," here is everything the reader needs to build muscle, protect joints, add mobility, and put off 70% of the normal problems associated with aging and eliminate 50% of serious illness and injury. "Clear, concise, well-balanced nutritious diet plan. Realistic exercise . . . [and] the combo of the authors -- nutrition scientist and witty writer -- makes this an easy-to-read volume with loads of timely, science-based information." -- Madelyn Fernstrom, Diet and Nutrition Editor, TODAY and NBCNews.com "Chock-full of easy recipes, meal plans, and exercise diagrams." -- The Wall Street Journal

Who is this book FOR, and who is it NOT for?

I believe this has demonstrably the best, science based approach to living a healthy and fit life that I have read. The authors are: Chris, a retired lawyer, motivational author and speaker and "real" person, Jen, a nutrition science and fitness expert with Tufts University, and review input from other formally trained and heavily experienced fitness experts. Everything in the book is vetted and current in terms of the best advice and science available today. So....WHO IS THIS BOOK NOT FOR? If you believe in fad diets (take your pick, paleo, low carb, grapefruit, gluten free etc - any diet without balanced nutrition or that focuses on one or a few "miracle" changes that will let the weight fall off). If you believe a simple little pill, a dash of powder on your food, a hormone replacement pill, fat burning pill or dietary supplement will be the key to losing weight. If you believe you really don't have to exercise to lose weight or stay fit. In short, if you think there is some effort free way to lose weight and/or get fit,and most importantly, if you don't want to pay attention to actual supported science with respect to nutrition and weight loss, this book is NOT for you. Sadly, that also means you are choosing not to lose weight or get fit and you will likely be investing in fads fruitlessly for the rest of your life if you continue to hope you will get fit and trim without effort or by a miracle. I note the low review ratings for this book seem to be almost exclusively from people that appear to be hoping to find a way to get healthy and lean without effort and/or in defiance of common sense (and current science). WHO IS THIS BOOK FOR? It's for you if you are ready to finally, responsibly get back to or down to a healthy weight in a safe and effective manner. It's for you if you are ready to make diet changes in quantity and quality that will really improve your health and allow you to reach your goals. If you are ready to finally let facts and not fantasies ...
