Do your thighs remain unchanged no matter how much exercise you do? Why can’t you exercise those problem areas away? Now you can. Sheldon Levine, MD, author of THE 7-MINUTE MIRACLE The Breakthrough Program to Banish Spot Fat Forever (LifeLine Press; ISBN: 0-89526-182-0; Price: $21.95), has created a revolutionary new workout and diet plan that uses your body’s natural fat-burning capability to control where fat gets eliminated on your body. With this plan, body sculpting is about trimming away superficial fat so the underlying muscles become visible. Levine, a practicing internist and world-class bench press champion, is a well-known authority on weight control and fitness. His spot-fat reducing program evolved out of new scientific findings about genes and chemical processes that affect fat breakdown at the cellular level. Levine’s program works for everyone, no matter how physically fit you are. Seven minutes of exercise and a healthy Spot Meal forty-five minutes later are all it takes to lose one dress or pant size in a few weeks. Part I: Designer Spot-Reducing Exercises. For each problem area (thighs, buttocks, abdomen, waist, triceps), there is an intense seven-minute workout clearly explained with step-by-step photographs and descriptions. By pumping blood to muscles that share the same supply as the overlying fat, the designer exercises taxi the hormone adrenalin directly to the target fat tissue, setting off a chemical process in the fat cells called lipolysis, or fat-releasing. Exercising longer than seven minutes is counterproductive to this process. Part II: The No-Eat Zone. Drinking only water during the forty-five minutes following a mini-workout keeps blood flow concentrated in your target problem area, rather than being diverted to your stomach, so the fat-burning process can continue. Part III: The Spot Meal. A Spot Meal, whether breakfast, lunch, or dinner, consisting of 50 percent carbohydrates, 30 percent protein, and 20 percent fat, has been scientifically proven to have a synergistic effect on the fat-burning process. Choose from dozens of easy-to-prepare spot-meal breakfast, lunch, and dinner recipes, and learn to make your own. Levine’s book presents the first fat-reducing program that uses pure science and your own body’s chemicals to attack unwanted fat, and lets you forget about counting calories or going to the gym once and for all. THE 7-MINUTE MIRACLE is likely to change the way we think about diet and exercise from here on out. Click here to order from Amazon: Click here to return to book details
