Fat Wars: 45 Days to Transform Your Body

by Brad J. King

Overview

Yes, it's you against your 30 billion fat cells! They stay with you forever and can expand to store as much fat asyou choose to stash in them. Fat Wars: 45 Days to Transform Your Body isn't another diet book. Instead, it's the book that will tell you how your body works: how it makes energy, how it stores fuel (fat), how it moves fat around and how to get it to burn that fat instead of putting it into storage. Then Fat Wars will tell you how to take that knowledge to craft an eating and activity plan that will work for you. Instead of engaging in endless losing battles with your wily fat cells, find out what makes them tick. Then plan to live in harmony with your body and look forward to a leaner, fitter, and healthier you in 45 days!
