We're surrounded by food portions we've been led to believe are normal-64-ounce sodas, personal pizzas large enough to feed several people, and steaks and pastas that fill an entire plate. No wonder obesity rates in America have reached an all-time high. We eat oversize portions, gain weight, and try the latest fad diet, which only adds to our confusion about how to lose weight. Nutritionist and portion-size expert Dr. Lisa R. Young says the solution is simple: Eat foods you love in reasonable portions, and you will lose your excess weight and keep it off for good. Finally Full, Finally Slim shows you how to permanently lose weight by right-sizing your portions without eliminating entire food groups or staring at an empty plate. Within these pages, Dr. Young outlines thirty days' worth of simple changes to help you shed pounds and provides a portion plan that ensures you will feel satisfied. She expertly describes the relevance of diet to health and steers you toward whole foods and away from clever marketing claims that may be secretly sabotaging your weight-loss efforts. You'll learn useful strategies for how to eat out, enjoy special occasions, and indulge in a favorite treat without tipping the scale. And because weight loss is about more than food, Dr. Young addresses the whole person-your mind-set, environment, habits, and life-through research-based advice. You'll learn how relationships, gratitude, self-compassion, and sleep patterns, for instance, can make a difference. Portion control outlives all fad diets because it isn't a diet. It's a lifestyle.

I Finally Understand! is a personal weight loss story and guide to help others realistically lose weight. I'm a 47 year old middle class working wife and mother of two. My battle with weight didn't begin until I was 20 years old and started dieting to lose 10 pounds. Six years later those 10 pounds had soared to 40!! I share my story and experiences with traditional diets, exercise, etc., but mainly focus on the realistic, common sense approach that finally worked for me as well as the tips, tricks and philosophies I learned along the way. I also discuss the importance of developing a healthy mind and spirit and its vital role in achieving success. My system advocates a realistic, "socially forgiving" approach that promotes a positive, personalized mind/body/soul methodology. I lost 35 pounds in 5 months and have been able to keep it off for 20 years! About a year after writing this book, I was introduced to the Law of Attraction via Oprah's show on "The Secret". I'd never heard of the Law of Attraction before but was immediately captivated. I couldn't believe what I was hearing! I know this stuff!! This is the same type of thing I wrote about in my book!! I quickly realized I had, unknowingly, used many principals of the Law of Attraction before, during and after I lost weight and was even inspired to write a book about it! That's when I knew I had to publish this book! You'll find my story and its relationship to the Law of Attraction featured in the book, Living the Law of Attraction, Real stories of People Manifesting Health, Wealth and Happiness by Rich German and Robin Hoch.
