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.

Publisher's Notes
Strong Women Stay Young was an instant national bestseller, a book C. Everett Koop, M.D., called "an essential tool for women of all ages." Now the authors who brought you a powerful weapon to combat aging are back--with an exciting, medically sound program to help you boost your metabolism and melt away fat. STRONG WOMEN STAY SLIM is the first book to combine the extraordinary fat-fighting power of strength training with a safe, medically proven weight-loss program. Scientific research has shown that strength training increases metabolism--a key to permanent weight loss--by as much as 15 percent. What is more, Tufts University research comparing women who followed identical diet plans found that the strength-training group lost 44 percent more fat than the diet-only group. No matter what your age or fitness level, you can start tomorrow with six simple, no-sweat exercises you can do at home or in the office. You'll feel stronger, more energetic and vital almost immediately. And after just ten weeks of easy, painless changes, you'll be astonished at how far you've come. Whether you're fighting a few stubborn pounds, struggling with postpregnancy weight gain, or battling a lifelong weight problem, STRONG WOMEN STAY SLIM has everything you need: Fully illustrated exercises especially designed for weight loss; Up-to-the-minute information about weight, appetite, nutrition, and fitness--explaining why this program works; A hunger-free food plan, including menus and delicious recipes from an award-winning cookbook author; Motivational secrets from sports psychology that boost self-esteem; Progress logs and extra guidance for the first ten weeks. Filled with inspiring stories from women who became trim and fit through strength training, STRONG WOMEN STAY SLIM is your key to shaping up and feeling great--for life.

Strong Women Stay Slim
Nelson, Miriam E
New York: Bantam. April 13, 1998. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Nelson's Strong Women Stay Young demonstrated how a weight-training program can prevent or reduce the balance problems and osteoporosis that are somet imes considered a "normal" part of aging. Here she shows how a simple progr am of weight training, aerobics, and sensible eating can improve one's figu re without necessarily resulting in weight loss per se. The usual diet plan s often result in a loss of lean muscle tissue and bone density; pounds are lost, but so is muscle tone and bone strength, while the actual amount of fat remains the same, causing potential health problems in several areas. N elson's program, which avoids these problems, has multiple benefits and is easy to follow. Menus and recipes are included. Highly recommended.
