If your plans for 2010 include a more slim and spry you — say the idealized version of yourself you remember from high-school or college – you will benefit from the sage and straight advice in Dr. David Colbert’s new book – High School Reunion Diet. Colbert offers an analysis of medical data and nutritional advice to add vitality to your skin and step, and shed excess weight. You’ll be delighted to find that you can enjoy wine with dinner, fine dining and entertaining, and delicious and satisfying meals.
Happily, a few simple and smart choices may be all you need – like opting for yams over potatoes, and whole grains over french bread. By adding berries, almonds, olive oil and yogurt to your diet, you’ll increase the vitality of your skin, and by removing processed foods and chemicals, diet and sugar drinks — you’ll bring the vitality of your body to your skin.
The book’s mantra is a “Youth Recovery Plan” promising, and delivering – to help you Lose 20 years and 30 days.
