THE SLEEP DOCTOR’S DIET PLAN
Lose Weight through Better Sleep
by Micheal Breus, Ph. D.
Rodale Press, May 2011
Losing weight while you sleep may sound too good to be true, but in fact the connection between inadequate sleep and weight gain (among a host of other negative medical results) has long been recognized by medical researchers. Turning this equation on its head, clinical psychologist and board-certified sleep expert Dr. Michael Breus shows that a good night’s sleep will actually enable you to lose weight, especially if you have been chronically sleep deprived.
THE SLEEP DOCTOR’S DIET PLAN is designed to help any woman who has been frustrated by her inability to shed weight by giving her the tools to overcome the stress, poor habits, and environmental challenges that stand between her and adequate rest. If you are ready to stop tossing and turning night after night, if you are done downing coffee to conquer nagging fatigue, and if you have bounced from one diet to another in an effort to find one that really, finally helps you lose the pounds you want, THE SLEEP DOCTOR’S DIET PLAN has the information, advice, and practical strategies you need to get deep, revitalizing sleep—and achieve a slimmer, healthier body in the process.

Are you ready for the Bad Ass Body you’ve always wanted?
THE BAD ASS BODY DIET
by Christmas Abbott
William Morrow, May 2015
In THE BAD ASS BODY DIET, fitness celebrity Christmas Abbott will teach you how to attain the body of your dreams with a targeted eating strategy that will teach you how to choose foods that tone and define your softest bits (even declaring bacon a diet food!), while walking readers through her 12 Minutes of Christmas total-body workout plan that will whip glutes and hips, and everything else, into top shape.
As a formerly “skinny fat” woman who found her fitness calling through CrossFit while working as a civilian in Iraq, Christmas knows what real women need to get the butt and body of their dreams. In The Bad Ass Body Diet, Christmas will dispel the myth of the health benefits of a “pear shape” body, teach readers how to “spot-reduce” excess fat with targeted meal plans and recipes that make cellulite a distant memory, and galvanize all with a quick and simple workout plan that tones everything—from booty to total body. Unlike most diet and exercise books that assume the same goals for all readers, Christmas identifies the three types of dieters that she has discovered at her multiple gyms—Modifiers, Gainers and Maintainers—and tailors her approach to each set of goals for maximum results. Women have been led astray by a flat belly obsession for far too long, and Christmas will finally tackle this fitness myth to show that health, vitality and the body you’ve always wanted all start with a trim and tight tush.
Christmas Abbott is a CrossFit gym owner, model, Reebok spokesperson and fitness celebrity with over 250,000+ Facebook and 125,000+ Instagram followers.

Practical and proven tools for successfully escaping the most common diet traps for good
THE DIET TRAP SOLUTION
Train Your Brain to Lose Weight and Keep It Off for Good
by Judith S. Beck PhD, Deborah Beck Busis
HarperOne, April 2015
Most diet programs work at first. We lose a few pounds in a few weeks but then life happens and the bad habits and the weight return. This is where diets fail us and why THE DIET TRAP is an invaluable resource for losing and keeping the weight off good.
One of the primary misconceptions about weight loss is that, to succeed, the only thing you have to focus on is what you eat. Not true. An equally vital factor in successful weight loss—particularly for yo-yo dieters—is changing what we think. To consistently eat differently, we must learn to think differently. For example, stress, bad habits, social pressures, travel – all of these are a part of life and derail the majority of diets. We are not alone. Diets fail us, we don’t fail at them. It is only by learning how to navigate these inevitable obstacles that we can have success, and keep the weight off.
In these pages, mother and daughter team Judith Beck and Deborah Beck Busis, who have successfully worked with thousands of clients, show readers how to think their way thin. In this practical and accessible guide, readers identify their specific diet traps, including emotional eating, social pressure, travel and eating out. By strengthening your “resistance muscle” and creating action plans to prepare for your personal triggers, losing weight becomes not only progressively easier but sustainable and even enjoyable.
With THE DIET TRAP SOLUTION, you have the power to overcome thoughts and behaviors that have been holding you back for years, allowing you to lose unwanted pounds and keep the weight off for life.

Healthy fats are the new low-carb
EAT MORE FAT, LOSE MORE WEIGHT
The Fat Solution to Shed Pounds, Reverse Chronic Illness, and Finally Feel Fantastic!
by Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., and Steven Masley, M.D
HarperOne, Spring 2016
Low-fat diets have made us fatter and sicker than ever, and eating fat has gotten a bad rap. But recently there has been a lot of buzz and research in the health world about the benefits of a higher fat diet. In fact, doctors and health practitioners, Paleo fanatics and trainers, plant-based researchers and vegans, and high-protein, low-sugar, and gluten-free experts all actually agree that the average dieter is eating way too little fat. When dieters stop swapping out butter, stop replacing red meat, and ditch the low-fat and no-fat diet foods, they lose more weight and reduce their risk of disease.
Eating more fat is the key to losing weight faster, reversing many everyday symptoms and chronic illnesses, and looking and feeling amazing. But how much fat is too much? What sources of fat are the healthiest? And how do you eat fat to burn fat? This is not your mother’s Atkins. In EAT MORE FAT, LOSE MORE WEIGHT, a bestselling nutritionist and a bestselling physician will change how readers think about fat and offer readers three healthy weight loss solutions tailored to their specific needs—The Mediterranean Fat Solution, The Paleo Fat Solution, and The Ketosis Fat Solution—that will have them feeling, thinking, and looking better than they have in years. The right fats will address cravings. They will nourish brain and heart health. And they will reverse metabolic syndrome and increase weight loss.
Jonny Bowden, Ph.D, C.N.S. is a board certified nutritionist and nationally acclaimed author of The Great Cholesterol Myth, which has sold over 100000 copies, and 13 other books, which have sold more than an additional 800000 copies.
Steven Masley, M.D. is a renowned physician and the former medical director of the Pritikin Longevity Center. His recent book, The 30-Day Heart Tune-Up, has sold nearly 50,000 hardcovers in its first four months of publication.

The former Biggest Loser star and celebrity trainer presents a high intensity workout and eating plan that delivers big results in just 20 minutes a day
THE 20-MINUTE BODY:
20 Minutes, 20 Days, 20 Inches
by Brett Hoebel
HarperWave, February 2015
From his days as a trainer on The Biggest Loser, Bret Hoebel knows that when people log hours on a treadmill, they’ll lose weight. But he also knows that most of his clients don’t have the schedule or the desire to spend that much time at the gym. And the truth is: the number of minutes you spend working out isn’t the key to weight loss: intensity is.
Time and again, Brett meets clients who’ve been making the same mistakes – not only are they focused on the clock, but they’re also concentrating on fat burn and pounds lost as markers of success. And with a fat-first focus on losing weight, plateaus come quick and often. But it’s not about fat, it’s about muscle.
In The 20-Minute Body, Brett explains why the key to long term weight loss is building muscle. The more lean muscle your body has, the more calories your body will burn at rest. Metabolic muscle is the secret to fast metabolism. And all you need is 20 minutes a day to create it. Additionally, when you focus on inches, not pounds, you’ll find that you fit into your clothes better and love the shape of your body. Weight is misleading – muscle weighs more than fat, but it takes up far less room. So throw away the scale and invest in a tape measure to track your success. The 20-Minute Body will help you lose 20 inches – from around your stomach, hips, thighs, and arms – in just 20 days.
All it takes is 20 minutes of exercise, paired with 20-minute meals that are focused on nutrient quality, not calorie counts. Brett offers readers sample meal plans and recipes for meals, snacks, and desserts the whole family will love – all of which can be thrown together in 20 minutes or less.
