Lifestyle 180 Week 1 of 18: Turn Your Body and Your Life Around

In 1999 David Greenwalt authored "The Leanness Lifestyle" and created Leanness Lifestyle University (LLU), the first online weight-management education course. Since 2002 David has been updating "The Leanness Lifestyle" and continually delivering the most up-to-date evidence-based information online via a course which has evolved over many years into Lifestyle 180. Lifestyle 180 is 18 weeks long. This book, Lifestyle 180: Week 1 of 18, provides all of the lessons of week 1. The intent is to provide the remaining 17 weeks of course material in sequential books numbered 2 through 18. In week 1 you'll learn about the three legs of the permanent weight management stool. 99% of weight loss books only cover, at best, two of the three legs. You'll learn what real food is. It's very likely going to surprise you. You'll get great breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack ideas along with excellent grocery shopping tips. You'll start off with four food rules but then you'll be given the 15 nutrition fundamentals for optimal health and weight management. Exercise fundamentals are covered giving clarity to the greatest benefits of exercise beyond the calorie burn. A quick-start exercise guide for both cardio and strength training is provided as well as links to resources that make cardio and strength training not only effective and safe, but fun too. Week 1 is all about getting started. It's what we use, for the actual Lifestyle 180 course, to get our students out of the gate quickly with extremely practical ideas. While there is no perfect substitution for taking the actual Lifestyle 180 course, the reader of Lifestyle 180: Week 1 of 18, will benefit by being taught a new, different and more-refined "get started" approach to lifelong weight management. David has been in the trenches, helping tough-case weight fighters, since 1999. This book draws on that experience.
