THE PROGRAM: The Brain-Smart Approach to the Healthiest You: The Life-Changing 12-Week Method THE PROGRAM (Atria Books; $27.95; December 22, 2009) is a ground-breaking, 12-week brain regimen that actually teaches readers how to outsmart their change-resistant brain so that it ultimately accepts life changes. Much unlike every other diet book, fitness regime, or happiness approach, THE PROGRAM uses easy-to-understand brain science as the key to changing habits. Not a fad or quick fix, THE PROGRAM’s clients have shown proven results:
- 98% lowered their blood pressure
- 80% quit smoking
- overweight clients averaged a 19-pound drop in weight
- 80% reduced their blood sugar level
The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), Google, and Stanford University all agree – they use THE PROGRAM to promote healthful behavior all across the country.
*If you have ever wondered why it is so hard to lose weight or create a healthier lifestyle this book can explain how your brain works, learns and often resists changes that would actually be to your benefit. What I loved is the way the book eases you into better health. This is not a diet book, this is a book that over 12 weeks will help you transform your life by working with your brain not against it and once your brain accepts your new behaviors those become the new normal and your brain will now be on your side for helping you keep on track for better behaviors and a healthier happier 2010. I found this a fascinating read and loved the slow simple steps for a 12 week transformation. (HealthStatus Staffer)
