The Busy Person’s Guide to Permanent Weight Loss by Dr. Melina B. Jampolis

(Nashville, TN) Discovery Network’s FitTV Diet Doctor, Melina Jampolis has evaluated many diets as the host of her hit show. From Weight Watchers and South Beach to Zone, she’s seen it all. But who has time for diets? Between business meetings, rush hour traffic, chasing the kids, or your friend’s dinner party, counting carbs and calories often takes the backseat to hectic days and busy nights, but not anymore thanks to The Busy Person’s Guide to Permanent Weight Loss (ISBN: 978-0-7852-2810-3, May, $14.99).

Busy people take care of everything and everyone—except for themselves. Fast food lunches and drive-through dinners can become unexpectedly routine leading to weight gain and an overall decline in health. Dr. Jampolis has created a diet program that you can actually stick to. What was her brilliant idea? A diet plan that fits into your schedule instead of overtaking it.

Dr. Jampolis states, “Whether you have a busy social life, a hectic travel schedule, a demanding job, a chaotic household, a new baby, no time for exercise , or limited time to cook or shop regularly, I have created a program that can and will work for you.”

But how is this diet different from the others? It provides realistic strategies and goals including:
• Basic principles for understanding how weight loss works
• A program that is customized for you
• Helpful dining options for eating out and travel eating
• Healthy, flavorful, and FAST meal ideas for eating in, breakfast on the go, and even no-cook dinners
• Time saving strategies to maximize results including ways to maximize exercise in the least amount of time, and
• Also included in the book are helpful appendix documents such as a “Home Rules Contract” and a “Driving Contract”.

Busy people need a plan designed for their schedule. However, Dr. Jampolis knows that no two people lose weight the same way so she has developed a customized plan that will work with every lifestyle and every schedule. You can even create your own plan by applying her seven principles into a plan that suits your lifestyle. If you are a man or a woman who is simply too busy to eat well and exercise and are looking for a real-world way to lose weight, look no further than The Busy Person’s Guide to Permanent Weight Loss.
