Drop the Fat Act and Live Lean: Using the Opposites Approach to Changing Your Fattitudes

Drop The Fat Act & Live Lean offers a no holds barred, straight-forward reality check that offers the key to change. In response to the current obesity epidemic, Andrews presents a different kind of conversation laced with some tough talk and truthful humor that explains how people sabotage themselves and hinder their own goals. Most overweight individuals are often dictated by fattitudes—routines, dietary choices, and belief systems add more body fat, less muscle, and more risk for disease. Using the opposites approach to behavioral learning, readers realize what not to do in order to lose weight.

Drawing on his experience with clients as a nutrition coach, Andrews understands first-hand their challenges, their excuses and what they need to know. A new set of weight management skills includes research-driven principles of healthy nutrition. Whole foods in place of processed foods, as well as a plant-based rather than animal-based diet, are proven to work the most effectively for achieving a healthy body. From exercise to portion size, compelling and convincing reasons are offered to give new lifestyle and dietary changes a chance. DROP THE FAT ACT & LIVE LEAN emphasizes that the real formula to weight-loss success is the ability to make good decisions on everyday choices. Adopting the habits of the fit and lean will soon become second nature.
