Weight Maintenance - Metric Edition

You can lose weight on almost any diet. But the real challenge is not losing weight - rather it is keeping the weight off. This eBook is one of the few that addresses the two key issues in weight maintenance: 1) Preventing the regaining of lost weight, and 2) Preventing weight gain as people age. Weight Maintenance - Metric Edition is a superb reference for men and women and a practical lifelong weight control guide. This is another effective, sensible, easy-to-use book you can trust from NoPaperPress. (Metric units)
