Body For Life turned Bill Phillips into a household name among men and women striving to transform their bodies into lean, mean muscle machines with his 12-week fitness program. However, it’s his follow-up, Eating For Life, that’s created a buzz with the audience who prefer to concentrate more on eating healthy and less on a rigorous exercise program.

A five-week health and body makeover, The Gold Coast Cure was developed to reverse 10 diseases: obesity, type II diabetes, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, asthma, arthritis, cancer, vascular dementia, osteoporosis and fibromylagia. This three-pronged plan consists of a balanced diet of whole foods, a 30-minute resistance circuit-training workout three days a week and a doctor-approved vitamin regimen, all in the name of good health.

Fat is the enemy. Fat makes you fat. The creators of the Choose To Lose Diet say it’s not sugar and starch that causes obesity – it’s the fat in foods that packs on the pounds. You can also forget what you’ve heard about the dangers of overeating – it’s not how much you eat, it’s what you eat that’s causing your weight issues. The world is your buffet when you’re loading your plate with low-fat meats, nonfat dairy and nutrient-dense, fiber-rich carbohydrates such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
