Americans try one quick-remedy diet after another, from low-fat to low-carb with mixed and often short-lived results. Dr. Ann's 10-Step Diet gives readers a plan they can sink their teeth into permanently. Combining her highly regarded nutritional expertise with real-world sensibility, Dr. Ann provides a straightforward, no-nonsense strategy for attaining and maintaining weight loss that simultaneously provides powerful protection against our nation's most common and dreaded chronic diseases. Nutritionally cutting edge yet refreshingly back-to-basics, Dr. Ann's 10-Step Diet teaches readers exactly how to harness the extraordinary power the right carbohydrates, the right fats, and the right proteins provide as an effective means to lose weight for good and feel good for life. She states that the results of her surprisingly simple plan are permanent because her recommendations are 'realistic, flexible and comprehensive.' Dr. Ann tells readers not only what to eat and why, but also how to live: what to buy at the grocery store and what to avoid, how to prepare meals at home and how to dine out without sacrificing their health and weight. As an added bonus, she provides readers with ten concise steps to prevent or minimize each of ten common chronic diseases including breast cancer, colon cancer, heart disease and Type II Diabetes.
