at the last minute, Frankie bows out, leaving painfully shy Bea on her own. Just talking to strangers causes Bea to break out into ugly, blotchy hives.

maximize fat burning all day longCould losing weight really be as simple as flipping a switch? Absolutely, says Dr. Robert Cooper, one of America's leading weight-loss researchers. The trouble with most popular diet-and-exercise programs is that they boot up the metabolic thermostat, or Meta-Stat (an area in the brain that regulates metabolism), for only short spurts. The rest of the time the body is in fat-storing mode. But if our Meta-Stat stays on 24 hours a day, we burn fat constantly—and build energy as well. In Flip the Switch, Lose the Weight, Dr. Cooper reveals scientifically proven strategies that enable us to turn on our Meta-Stat and maintain optimum metabolism all day long. This groundbreaking book:• provides an easy 20-minute exercise plan that gently works the body differently on successive days for maximum fat-burning, energy-generating effect • allows you to customize your weight-loss program based on your goals and lifestyle preferences • provides an exclusive "Success Map" for you to chart your progress • includes complete meal plans and more than 100 recipes, all designed to fuel the Meta-Stat for maximum fat burning
