Break Through Your Set Point
by Dr. George Blackburn
How many times have you gone on a diet and lost a few pounds, only to hit, once again, that dreaded plateau? Many people manage to lose the first 10, 15, or 20 pounds of the weight they want to shed. Then, no matter how hard they work, they can't seem to nudge the number on the scale farther down, and often they end up gaining back the weight they lost. Finally, there is a healthy, permanent weight loss solution that will get you off the frustrating yo-yo that often accompanies most fad diets.
Dr. George L. Blackburn is the associate director of the Division of Nutrition at Harvard Medical School and directs the Center for the Study of Nutrition Medicine, which investigates complex issues in nutrition and health. Based on three decades of his research and clinical practice, "Break Through Your Set Point" offers an exciting and effective program that will give you specific tools to help you get out of your rut and prevent those extra pounds from coming back.
