The Shoe Lover's Weight Loss Plan
Can shoes actually help us lose weight? Most definitely, says scientist and author Dr. Isabelle R. Shaw. In her witty, motivational new book, The Shoe Diet, Dr. Shaw gives women something different to think about: weight loss through fabulous shoes.
Dr. Shaw, known to her friends as "the fashion scientist," wants women to stop hopping on the latest weight-loss bandwagon. "The key to weight loss is to set realistic goals to ensure success" she says. "It's all about taking small steps-in fabulous shoes!"
"Let's face it, losing weight is not easy, but it can be a very realistic ambition." The Shoe Diet works by stimulating the reward and motivation systems in our brains with a gorgeous pair of shoes. When these parts of the brain are activated, we are motivated to make healthy lifestyle changes.
Through the use of cognitive behavioral techniques, The Shoe Diet provides a step-by-step guide to achieving lifestyle modifications. This book will teach you how to:
Lose weight and keep it off
Decrease your risk of cardiovascular disease
Increase your energy level
Reduce stress
Dr. Shaw, a French Canadian born and raised in Quebec, has an undergraduate degree in psychology and both her master's and Ph.D. in biomedical science from the University of Montreal. Her work currently focuses on cardiovascular disease and she resides in St. Louis with her husband and all her shoes.
"I hope my book motivates women to achieve their true potential and become the best and healthiest they can be." she says. "I want us all to walk through life feeling good about ourselves and our accomplishments-in fantastic heels, no less!"
