Marilu Henner's Total Health Makeover: Ten Steps to Your BEST Body [ハードカバー]

"The question I've been asked most often over the last ten years is 'Marilu, why is it that you are much thinner now and even younger looking than you were when you did Taxi in the 70s?' I know that people are being kind and ask me this to make me feel good, but I also know there is a lot of truth to this as well. I am much thinner than I was. I have much more energy. I feel really great. And yes, I do think I look much better...I do know I feel much younger now, at 45, than I did even in my 20s. Except during my pregnancies, my weight has not fluctuated more than five pounds in the last eleven years. This is not a temporary phase I'm going through."

When was the last time you felt really healthy? Do you feel healthy right this minute?

For Marilu Henner the answer is a resounding yes! A fit body, glowing skin and eyes, loads of energy, a positive attitude, and a zest for life...Marilu knows from nineteen years of research and practice that feeling and looking good are every person's birthright, no matter what age or psychical condition. Now, in this practical, proven guide, she shows how you, too, can achieve optimum well-being and longevity with her unique, flexible ten-step B.E.S.T. (Balance, Energy, Stamina, Toxin-Free) life plan that will change the way you feel about your health and your body in only three weeks.

Motivated by her parents' untimely deaths in their early fifties and her own previous struggles with weight and health, Marilu has developed this complete design for living that can be tailored to your individual needs. Down-to-earth, warm, and irrepressibly humorous, Marilu provides practical advice on every aspect of well-being, including combining foods for ultimate nutritional benefit, stress, attitude, the uses of alternative medicine, the value of a lifestyle journal, and a working philosophy of good health.

"Marilu is my mentor. Her philosophies about health changed my life as well as my figure." -- Fran Drescher"Nobody does health better."-- John Travolta"Marilu--you have done the world a tremendous service."-- Rosie O'Donnell"If changing your body and looking great are qualifiers, then Marilu is definitely qualified to write this book."-- Tony Danza"Marilu is the healthiest person I know ... she makes me sick!"-- Carol Burnett"The best-organized and best-written book of its kind, "-- Peter Bogdanovich"Marilu, your program is fantastic. Five weeks ago my choles-terol was way too high, but since starting the program my cho-lesterol level has dropped 70 points. My doctor called to say my numbers look great now, and now my husband and mother--in-law are on the plan too. Thanks for your great ideas."-- Beth Silverman, Augora Hills, CA"My family has a history of autoimmune diseases--lupus, arthritis, as well as heart disease. I too was headed in the same direction with my doctors prescribing some heavy-duty drugs with scary side effects. The Total Health Makeover has given me control over my own body and that feels great. (I never thought I'd be eating things like kale and soybeans and actually enjoying them!) Your program has also helped me with my breast pain (I have fibrocystic breasts and had extreme burning and pain with my periods), but the very first month on your program the pain vanished and hasn't returned. It is such a noticeable improvement."-- Ali Bouvier, Clark, NJ"My mother and I would like to thank you for opening our eyes to healthy eating. My mom has lost 35 lbs. in two months and feels great. I'm a quadriplegic and losing weight is difficult, but by eating right I've lost 25lbs. and am feeling healthy again. Thank you for changing my life."-- William Balles, Carpinteria, CA "I am 27 years old and 5 months pregnant with my second child. I bought your first book about a month ago and am well on my way to making the 10 steps a part of my life. I am espe-cially interested in becoming dairy-free. My sister was very sick with chronic diarrhea for two years, undergoing numerous medical tests with no results. Then she went dairy-free and within three days the diarrhea stopped. She soon became preg-nant and as a dairy-free mom she gave birth to a 9 lb. 6 oz. baby boy. I can't wait to be a dairy-free mom too."-- Andrea Bouvier-Thieneman, Louisville, KY"For years I have suffered from sinus problems, primarily con-gestion and headaches. After reading The Total Health Makeover, I decided to give up dairy products completely. In the last eight months, I've had two sinus headaches and virtually no conges-tion, I've never felt so good!"-- Lori Hazenstab, Wilmington, DE"Your plan changed our lives. After following your plan my wife lost 25 lbs., became a full-time mom, volunteers at our sons' schools, teaches craft classes, and has a social life. On top of all of this Laura got pregnant last September. We had wanted to conceive a child two years ago, but Laura had physical chal-lenges that made it difficult. I truly believe that her losing the weight and changing her lifestyle contributed to our finally conceiving our third child."-- Leonard Hanna, Vancouver, WA "After picking up your book at the library, I have given up caffeine and dairy and can't believe how good my skin looks. I've been paying the top dermatologist in our state and he wasn't even able to get resultslike this. I noticed an improvement in only two weeks time."-- Sue Amos, Dedham, MA"Thanks to food combining I can finally finish a meal without getting nauseous, and since giving up dairy I no longer have to pay all that money for lactose enzymes (since I'm lactose intol-erant). All in all, I feel great."-- Susan Hiland, Nashville, TN"I have been overweight all my life and at 290 lbs. I was deter-mined to make a lifestyle change. I started reading your books and knew this was the way for me--it just made sense chemi-cally, emotionally, and physically. The first step I tried was giv-ing up dairy. Wow! I lost 15 lbs. without even blinking and just feel so much better. I was also successful in taking my one-year -old son off dairy, and since he has been dairy-free we haven't had any wheezing problems like we had in the past. Thank you for sharing your treasured information in a way that people can relate to."-- Janet Townley, Brookfield, CT"Since starting your program I have taken off 27 lbs. in three months, my daughter is eating healthier, and my boyfriend is finding relief from migraine headaches. What a difference your book has made."-- Susan Martin, Alexandria, VA --このテキストは、 ペーパーバック 版に関連付けられています。
