Bootcamp 360 for Brides or Take the Fight out of Food

Bootcamp 360 for Brides: A Complete Fitness Program: The Few, the Proud, the Fit

Author: Tamara Kleinberg

You are cordially invited to get your butt in gear! Bootcamp360 for Brides is a health and fitness program that will whip any woman into sultry shape in time for her wedding, and prepare her for a healthy lifestyle even when the honeymoon's over.

"Do you want to look stunning in your wedding dress?"

"YES, SIR!"

"Would you like to impress family members you've never met before with toned arms, sculpted back, and flat abs?"

"YES, SIR!"

Bootcamp360 for Brides is a popular extreme fitness program geared for the woman who wants to look buff in time for her wedding. "Be his better half, not his better three–quarters," says Tamara Kleinberg, whose program focuses on weight loss, nutrition, and shaping up those areas that all eyes will be on that special day, especially the arms, shoulders, and back. Every bootcamp trainee will set time–oriented goals for herself, building an exercise regimen that includes both challenge and variety. The book will also include "tips from the trenches" advice; inspirational success stories and before–and–after photos from bootcamp graduates; and practical nutritional guidelines and "mess hall" recipes; and progress charts to keep brides–to–be focused on their fitness goals.

The Bootcamp360 program has been extremely successful in New York City and in Denver (its two outposts), and Kleinberg is in the process of building a franchise. We think this book, and the program, is going to be a great success.

Take the Fight Out of Food: How to Prevent and Solve Your Child's Eating Problems

Author: Donna Fish

All foods are good. That is the message of this commonsense book that helps parents speak to their kids about food and nutrition. It is a message that is long overdue, especially when you consider that 81 percent of ten-year-olds are afraid of being fat -- half are already dieting -- and twelve million American children are obese. There is a disease gripping our nation's children and it strikes early. Take the Fight Out of Food offers a cure.

This practical guide is filled with hands-on tools and in-depth advice for putting a stop to unhealthy eating habits before they begin. In Take the Fight Out of Food parents will learn how to:

• Understand their own "food legacy" and how it affects their children

• Keep their children connected to food in a positive way

• Talk to their kids about food and nutrition

• Recognize and deal with the six types of eaters --

including the Picky Eater, the Grazer, and the Beige Food Eater

With guidance, inspiration, and encouragement, this invaluable book helps parents to teach their children to eat for life in a positive and healthy family environment.

Fish, a licensed social worker specializing in eating disorders, aims to help children develop a positive relationship with food. A critical part of her approach involves parents appraising their own attitudes and hang-ups about food and eating. Once that is accomplished, adults can become better role models and instill good eating habits in their children, e.g., differentiating physical feelings of hunger from emotions. In a confident tone that will reassure readers, Fish notes that children who are so mentored are more likely to have self-control in all areas of life. She also groups children into six different types of eaters-"The Food Demander," "The Trouble Transitioner," "The Picky Eater," "The Beige Eater," "The Spurt Eater," and "The Grazer"-up to about age nine. Though she includes some tools and tips for resolving their issues, this is less the problem-solving manual the title suggests than an "eat for life" manual for the family.
