Book summary

This fitness plan for women covers all the bases in the quest for good health. The gist of Miriam Nelson's diet philosophy is that a strength training exercise routine is the best way to boost metabolism. The author, professor at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University, provides muscle-building workouts, suggested diets (in which no foods are forbidden, the author says), charts and workbooks to track progress, and pre-prepared shopping lists to avoid stocking up on unwise items. Nelson crafts an entire lifestyle geared to help women shed pounds by sheer exertion and increasing muscle mass. The author also offers a question-and-answer section to help iron out trouble spots and provides recipes and menus by noted cookbook author Steven Raichlen.
