Summary

The Park Avenue Diet The Complete Doctor-Designed Makeover Featuring Society's Style Leaders Lose weight, think, dress, and act like a celebrity For most of us, losing weight isn't really our ultimate goal. Our real hope is that if we can get to be as thin as the Park Avenue socialites we see in the magazines, we can also dress as lavishly, look as glamorous, and flirt as effortlessly as they do. So we starve ourselves and drag ourselves to the gym, and maybe we lose a few poundsbut we still don't have the life we want. WithThe Park Avenue Diet, readers can have the life they want immediately. The pathway to better health and good looks needs to encompass physical, psychological, and behavioral changes that reinforce each other. This revolutionary six-week program teaches readers to completely re-invent themselves as the slim person inside. In just six short weeks, they will not only have lost weight but will have become better dressers and better conversationalists, more attractive and more desirable. How do athletes, models, movie stars, socialites, those fortunate few who comprise the A-list, maintain their svelte appearance in a swirl of constant temptation? Here, from seven insiders, are their secrets on food, fitness, fashion, grooming and makeup, hair, etiquette and interpersonal skills, and self-confidence. Drawing on his personal experience, his success with patients in his Park Avenue Diet Center, and contributions from Tinsley Mortimer, Laura Geller, Joel Warren, Helene Hellsten, Dr. Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., Frank Castronovo, and Bernadette Penotti, Dr. Stuart Fischer brings the secrets ofThe Park Avenue Dietto everyone.
