The Vitality Plan

by Deborah Bull

An effective guide to successful permanent weight loss for everyone, through a combination of a healthy diet and exercise. It shows how to make an informed and sensible choice about what they eat. It avoids regimented and calorie counting diets, teaching how to work with the physiology of the body rather than against it. It explains why faddy diets do not work and how they rarely allow those hard shed pounds to stay off once the diet is over. The information is accompanied by photographs to promote healthy eating, along with simple recipe ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, and guidelines on cooking methods that cut out excess fat. The advantage of being fit over being thin is permanent control over body consumption, as well as improved health and quality of life. The book demonstrates how this choice is available to everyone, without the need for joining an expensive gym or buying the latest fitness gimmicks. The crucial difference between aerobic and anaerobic exercise is defined, and the benefits of sustained, low-impact aerobic exercise are explained in full. Excercise, strength-training and stretching plans are set out for people of any fitness level, and additional vital information, such as reading your heart rate and refuelling, is also provided. Photographic sequences demonstrate simple yet effective execises that are easy for the reader to follow. The author is principal dancer at the Royal Ballet and Torje Eike chartered physiotherapist and fitness trainer to Mick Jagger.
