Dear Friends and Fellow Maintainers,
Here's the first look at my book which will be in stores and on Amazon this October. I was very excited to receive this view of the cover from my publisher!
Refuse to Regain is meant specifically for those who are determined to keep off the weight they've lost. It is written in three sections. The first establishes ten foundations for weight maintenance. These include topics such as how to take a warrior's attitude toward maintenance, how to eat a Primarian Diet (the type of maintenance diet I suggest), and how to defuse sabotage. In the second section, I talk in depth about the 12 cardinal rules for successful maintenance. A third section visits with five real maintainers and talks about their successes and their struggles. There is also a recipe section with meals designed by Chef Matthew Anderson, a Cleveland chef and really nice guy.
I am excitedly awaiting publication. Most of all, though, I hope that Refuse to Regain will bring the problem of maintenance to the forefront and that it will be just one of many books to be written on the subject.
Barbara
