A New Book Identifies Keys to Permanent Weight Loss Success

There are 6 behavioral factors in permanent weight loss. In the new book, The 6 Steps to Permanent Weight Loss, Dr. Michael Imani provides readers with the keys to long-term success.

(PRWEB) January 1, 2006 -- A new book addresses the question: what are the keys to permanent weight loss? Dr. Michael Imani discusses these in his forthcoming book, The 6 Steps to Permanent Weight Loss. Statistics suggest that 80 to 95% of all dieters will regain the weight they lose within one year. The book outlines the behaviors of those 10 to 15% of "successful losers". Dr. Imani has spent eight years developing and testing his theories in his clinical practice. He has worked with clients as far away as Asia via telephone and the internet. "Many clients struggle with the idea that if you want to make big changes in your body, you have to be prepared to make big changes in your life," says Dr. Imani. The book provides valuable tools for dieters such as why it is best to weigh on Monday and Friday mornings, how many calories per day give you the best chance for long-term success, and why eating breakfast significantly improves your chances to sustain permanent weight loss. In the new book, he outlines six factors. They are:

1. A low-energy, low-fat diet
2. Frequent self-monitoring of weight
3. Eating breakfast virtually every day
4. Daily exercise of 60 to 90 minutes
5. Daily water intake of at least 48 ounces
6. Addressing the issue of 'emotional eating' by taking a closer look at your overall life, your goals, and obstacles to your success.

Dr. Imani has a Ph.D. in Clinical Hypnosis and is board certified by the American Board of Hypnotherapy. His practice is based in Atlanta, but he works with clients all over the world.
