However, this diet isn't just for those dealing with health problems, because recent studies have also revealed that TLC happens to be one of the healthiest and best overall diets for anyone interested in a healthier lifestyle. U.S. News and World Report recently ranked TLC as the #2 best overall diet, as well as being one of the best diets for heart healthy eating (#2) and overall healthy eating (#2).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How often have you heard someone say, after pushing back from the table following a hearty meal and ruefully patting his or her belly, 'It isn't me-it's my metabolism'? It's easier to blame our girth on the slow rate of the chemical reactions that convert the food we eat into the energy we need to live than it is to take responsibility for the amount and kind of food we put into our mouths, and although disorders like hyperthyroidism and diabetes do damage the good work of our metabolism, there's plenty we can do to assist those chemicals in doing their job. Eating right, exercising, and reducing stress all work together to boost the metabolism and control our weight.

Dr. Klapper's exercise plan-including aerobic and isotonic exercises and resistance training for the upper, middle, and lower body-helps readers reduce fat and increase muscle, and his recipes show readers how delicious it can be to be a booster!
