10/16/2006 REVIEW: School Library Journal
Jeffers discusses the crippling effects of fear in
her personal life and explains how she formulated a course of action for conquering
it. Her answers are simple, her course of action difficult only because it requires
courage. She explains how fear is based on the uncertainty of change and the lack
of positive self image. She avoids psychological lingo, and includes many case studies
about careers and changes in personal life both of which are beginning to cause
anxiety in many teens. Her message is reassuring: choices are not opportunities
to make mistakes, but valid paths to growth, whichever path we take. She addresses
the fundamental cause of fear the belief that ``I can't handle it!'' Feel the Fear
is an important book, for while some young people are more crippled by insecurity
that others, many do believe that the path to adulthood is fraught with dangers.
Fear is doubtlessly a handicap with which they must learn to cope. Jennifer John

The Cardio-Free Diet

Jacket Notes:
Are you constantly pounding away on the treadmill
but never losing a pound? Does every step on the StairMaster become more and more
painful? Are you tired of endless workouts that only make you want to eat more?
Cardiovascular workouts do burn a few calories, but far fewer than you think.
And the more cardio you do, the hungrier you feel. Not only does cardio fail to
help you lose weight, but it kills -- it kills your time, your energy, your joints,
and your motivation. You burn a few measly calories but then eat twice as many afterward.
The result? Weight gain -- and lots of it.
"The Cardio-Free Diet" is a revolutionary four-phase program that emphasizes
strength training to boost your metabolism; build lean, sexy muscles; and achieve
all the same heart-healthy benefits of cardio. With just twenty minutes a day, three
days a week, you can look and feel noticeably leaner, stronger, and younger than
ever before.
Weight loss expert Jim Karas has shaped the bodies of Diane Sawyer, Paula Zahn,
Hugh Jackman, and even Oprah's best pal, Gayle King. With easy-to-follow instructions,
Jim shows you how to exercise the right way in order to see incredible results.
You won't just lose weight -- you'll sculpt a whole new physique.
Watch the pounds disappear as you prepare delicious dishes such as apple balsamic
chicken, Dijon turkey, feta vegetable omelets, and grilled tomato tuna. You can
even enjoy a daily glass of wine! With detailed shopping lists, a variety of daily
menus, and helpful tips on how to maintain your diet when eating out or ordering
in, you'll never have to worry about what to eat.
"The Cardio-Free Diet" offers maximum results in minimal time -- so break free
fromthe mindless, ineffective cycle of cardio and get the body you've always wanted!
