The biggest name in gift books is getting smaller¿and you can, too. Bradley Trevor Greive, the 280-pound publishing giant, has started slimming down while coming to grips with the bloated eating habits and health beliefs of our modern world.

With his trademark wit and humorous animal photographs, BTG explains that the true motivation for losing excess weight and keeping it off is purely to enjoy a better quality of life, to get the most out of our brief time on this earth.

Dieting Causes Brain Damage identifies the most common causes of weight gain as well as the perils of extreme dieting, suggesting that the number-one lesson is to "Keep your mouth shut." This reduces the number of calories consumed and stops you from constantly whining and making excuses about your appearance.

You don't need a PhD., millions of dollars, plastic surgery, a library of fad diet books, or a Day-Glo Lycra bodysuit to get into shape. Eating well, enjoying quality sleep, and getting a little exercise is the key to weight loss and personal health and fitness.

This wonderful gift book is for anyone who would like to be in better shape and could use a few laughs along the way¿a uniquely refreshing guide to looking, feeling, and living well that is free from false promises, tasteless recipes, and leg warmers.

Why was this a #1 bestseller in Canada in 2002? Because it is an easy-to-follow, easy-to-stick-to, truly healthy approach to eating that is based on the Glycemic Index, the original science behind The Zone Diet, but eliminates that diet's complexity and tendency to leave dieters wanting more. If you can understand a traffic light, you can understand this diet--and lose weight permanently without feeling hungry, counting calories, or jeopardizing your health. If a food is in the green column, eat it. If it's in the red column, avoid it. And if it's in the yellow column, proceed with caution. Take bread, for example. White bread, with its high G.I. number, is red-because it's so highly processed the body digests it quickly, resulting in a spike in blood sugar, a release of insulin, potential storage as fat, and a quick return of the hungry feeling. Low-G.I. 100% stone-ground whole-wheat bread is green-the body takes a while to digest it, with no spike in blood sugar and a much longer feeling of satiety. Green, yellow, red: It's all here, with a full explanation of how the diet works, plus ratings for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, eating out or eating in. Includes some recipes, snack ideas, a shopping list, and tips on dining out.

By now, you?ve heard of (and maybe tried) them all: the low-carb diet, the grapefruit diet, the miracle diet . . . the list goes on and on. Fad diets may promise a quick fix, but few deliver lasting results. If you?re like millions of other Americans, you?re still struggling to lose weight and get in shape?without harming your long-term health in the process.

It?s time to leave behind the one-size-fits-all approach to dieting. Now, the American Heart Association, the nation?s most trusted authority on heart-healthy living, introduces its first-ever comprehensive weight-loss book. No-Fad Diet helps you create a personalized plan to lose weight in a healthful way. After a simple assessment of your current habits, you choose the eating and exercise strategies that best fit your needs. You?ll learn how to set realistic goals, eat well to lose extra pounds safely, and add physical activity to keep the weight off for good.

This book offers more than 190 delicious, all-new recipes, including Cream of Triple-Mushroom Soup, Tilapia Cham-pignon, Chicken Pot Pie, Pumpkin-Cranberry Pancakes, and Vanilla Soufflé with Brandy-Plum Sauce. You?ll also find two weeks of sample menus, guidelines for meal planning, useful tips on dining out and food shopping, and sound advice for staying on track to reach your target weight.

If you?re fed up with fads and want a diet that can provide a lifetime of effective weight control, No-Fad Diet is the book for you.

Tired of losing weight and gaining it back?

Sick of fad diets and gimmicks?

Frustrated by crazy food restrictions?

Try the No-Fad Diet

What?s the only effective way to lose weight and keep it off? It?s simple: Calories in must be less than calories out. But since the factors that contribute to this not-so-magic formula are different for everyone, a one-size diet plan does not fit all.

The No-Fad Diet includes:

?Tips on turning negative thinking into positive rewards

?Simple quizzes to find the approach that?s best for you

?Diary pages to record and monitor your eating and activity habits

?Strategies to reduce calories and increase your activity levels

?Guidelines to help you prepare your own nutritious meals

?More than 190 delicious and healthful recipes

?Techniques to maintain your momentum
