Her disarming girlfriend-to-girlfriend tone promotes instant accessibility, and readers will feel they have a personal coach in the weight-loss battle.
Lieberman explains the importance of metabolism to weight loss, pointing out the factors that slow down metabolism-such as stress, yo-yo and crash dieting, and sedentary lifestyles-and ways to counteract them. Her four-step program includes eliminating stress and toxins from the body; following sound nutrition guidelines; engaging in fat-burning, muscle-building exercise; and taking nutritional supplements that help boost metabolism for quick, yet lasting, results.
Dare to Lose is an innovative approach to weight loss that provides a lifetime plan for losing weight and keeping it off forever.
