150 Pounds Gone Forever is a breath of fresh air, offering a new, realistic look at weight loss through the eyes of a mother of seven children who lost half her size and has kept it off for more than a decade.
Author Diane Carbonell leads you through her journey of weight loss with real-life honesty, humor, and insight. She explains how she lost 150 pounds with three simple components: fat percentage, portion control, and exercise. 150 Pounds Gone Forever shows you how to say good-bye to diets and how to change your lifestyle by identifying trigger foods, breaking unhealthy eating habits, and reorienting your thinking. The book details how to incorporate exercise into your everyday life, no matter what your weight. Diane emphasizes that the goal is more than reaching a certain number on the scale but a lifetime of enjoyment at a healthy weight.
150 Pounds Gone Forever shares 50 easy and healthy recipes, including many that can be prepped ahead of time. The book offers a 12-week cardio and strength-training exercise plan to improve your fitness level and shed unwanted pounds. Includes before and after photos of Diane along with exercise demonstration photos.
Diane Carbonell is a mother to seven children and lives in the mid-South. She lost 150 pounds 12 years ago and has maintained the impressive weight loss through four pregnancies, three state-to-state moves, and an adoption reunion.
