“New Year’s Resolution: Lose Weight, Stay Fit, Live Better” is a straightforward guide to losing weight in the new year, and it’s written in a conversational and friendly style that makes it easy to read and process.It breaks down losing weight into the basics, giving simple strategies such as trimming rather than slashing calories, sleeping well, writing goals to hold yourself accountable, and getting enough fiber. The book also explores concepts like BMI, resting heart rate, basal metabolic rate, and other things a healthy dieter needs to take into account.I liked that “New Year’s Resolution” makes weight loss seem reasonable and attainable, and that its tone is encouraging without being condescending. I also liked that the author took the time to put in a sampling of healthy recipes as well as a training schedule, so that the reader can start healthy new patterns all at once. In a market full of fad diets, it’s nice to get a common-sense breakdown of what it truly takes to trim down. Recommended to dieters who need a primer on how to healthily start losing weight without resorting to extreme eating or exercise plans.
