Book Description

ISBN-10: 0967775906 | ISBN-13: 978-0967775906 | Publication Date: February 15, 2000

The book presents in a concise and interesting format the "Curves" philosophy of losing weight and, more importantly, keeping it off permanently. It differs from most "diet books" in that it offers a realistic approach to dieting and, unlike most diet programs; it presents the reader with either a low carbohydrate or a low calorie option. In addition, Mr. Heavin's weight loss method is proven safe, effective, and nutritionally sound. At present, thousands of people have lost weight and have kept it off by following Mr. Heavin's weight loss method. I believe you will enjoy reading his book and if you apply his weight loss method, you will never feel helpless in controlling your weight.

Review

...more concise and informative than that of Dr.Atkins. Plus his maintenance program is much more realistic than the Atkin's program. -- Skinnier in San Marcos, Letter

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOST OVER 50 POUNDS ON THE CURVES WEIGHT LOSS METHOD!, September 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Permanent Results Without Permanent Dieting: The Curves For Women Weight Loss Method (Paperback)

I've read almost all of the most popular diet books written in the past 30 years and have found them boring and unrealistic in their recommended diet programs. Mr. Heavin's book IS the exception. First, it was interesting to read and he got to the point quickly on how to lose weight and keep it off permanently. Mr. Heavin explained, in LAYMAN'S terms, the causes of obesity and how to change one's metabolism. The net result is one's body becomes a fat burning machine and not a fat producing machine. Where his book really stands out is his weight loss maintenance program. It is the only maintenance program that EVERYONE can follow because eventually one only has to diet for a few days a month to remain slim forever!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very easy to read and understand, January 17, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Permanent Results Without Permanent Dieting: The Curves For Women Weight Loss Method (Paperback)

This book is written as if Mr. Heavin were talking to you, so it's easy to understand. I read it all in one sitting, but read it again to review the key points. I was only trying to lose the weight from having my daughter, but the diet and the Curves for Women workouts got me into better shape than I was BEFORE I had my baby! If you can, look up a Curves to do the workouts with the diet because the all-over strength training is what did it for me!
