Leaving Your Fat Behind

by Dr. Nina Cherie Franklin

Overview

Leaving Your Fat Behind highlights the process of weight loss and long-term weight control as a means of preventing obesity and obesity-related diseases. Dr. Franklin addresses the vicious weight gain-loss-gain cycle that affects a large percentage of women who are currently dieting to lose weight. She arms readers with realistic and practical strategies for breaking the cycle, indefinitely.

Achieving optimal health is a journey, not a destination. Leaving Your Fat Behind represents a first step in that journey.
