When Calories & Cardio Don't Cut It: Know what influences your body weight and shape so that you can live lean for a lifetime (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780692112731)

Calorie restriction and heart pumping cardiovascular exercise have been the mainstay of weight loss programs for decades, they are so ingrained in our belief system that we fear if we eat too much or exercise too little we will be instantly punished with overnight weight gain.

This approach never did explain why body shapes change and weight gain seems unavoidable for those racing towards middle age. An age, where many of us are exercising more diligence and accountability than we ever did in our youth.

So why do we hold on to such unfounded (unproven) beliefs? Because we don't know what else to do.

"When Calories & Cardio Don't Cut it" is a fascinating look at the major influencers that impact body composition and fat patterning. It explains how these players pay little heed to our obsessive tracking of intake vs expenditure and it will show you how you can control them to work in your favor.
