Americans are obsessed with diets and dieting products, but they are commitment–phobes when it comes to weight loss. How can women stop chasing quick fixes to embrace a long–term lifestyle transformation that leads to weight loss and well–being?
Personal trainer and former dieting extremist Elliott Young shows readers how to exchange dieting for healthy living as they:
adopt new skills in the six–week starter K.I.S.S. plan
eat nutrient–rich foods and practice portion control
reap the emotional and spiritual rewards of real change
With inspiring stories, exercise and food plans, and proven solutions, Young offers a life change for women wanting to be fit in mind, body, and soul—and who want to kiss failure goodbye.

Sound Advice Mixed with Practical ApplicationJanuary 10, 2007 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Personal Trainer, Elliott Young writes with balance and insight about the roller coaster of dieting. January is a perfect time to change into a healthy lifestyle. This book promotes a careful balance between eating nutrient-rich foods and learning about portion control along with a practical look at exercise and asking God's enabling.
Young uses KISS as a lifestyle acrostic for weight loss and weight maintenance: Kardio: carviovascular exercise Intake: Ingest fresh food Strength: strength training Spirit: spiritually grounded weight loss
This book is loaded with easy-to-apply information. I recommend it.

I'm not one to adhere to "diets" but this book provides an accessible framework to getting healthy and fit. It's also very refreshing to find a spiritual element in this genre.
