The Diet Dropout’s Guide to Natural Weight Loss: Find Your Easiest Path to Naturally Thin

This book isn't about the latest celebrity diet, wonder food, or miracle supplement. It's about creating a personalized weight loss plan—your own easiest path to naturally thin. While you can lose weight with almost any diet, keeping the weight off is much more difficult, requiring permanent changes in eating and exercise habits. Dr. Spencer provides a realistic approach for making those changes in a way that works best for you, without wasting time, money, or effort.
