Publisher's summary

Flying in the face of our quick-fix culture, the New York Times best-selling Younger Next Year and its sequel, Younger Next Year for Women, crossed the 1,000,000-copy milestone by essentially telling readers to work out six days a week. Forever. This same honest, no shortcuts approach is woven into the DNA of Thinner This Year. Chris Crowley, the memorable patient and coauthor of Younger Next Year, partners with Jen Sacheck, a nutritionist and exercise physiologist from Tufts University, and in lively, alternating chapters they spell out a weight-loss plan that will have readers lose up to 25 pounds in the first six months - and keep it off for life. The message is straightforward and based on the most up-to-date nutritional science: Avoid "dead," i.e., nutrient-poor, foods, particularly the SOFAS (solid fats, added sugars) choices that comprise more than a third of our diet. Design your plate to be 50% vegetables and fruits, 25% whole grains, and 25% lean proteins. Skip the supplements. Never drink your calories. And exercise. Exercise, the authors emphasize, is the great flywheel of weight loss. And whereas Younger Next Year told you why to exercise six days a week - Thinner This Year tells you how to eat and how to exercise, from the best aerobic workouts to a lifetime supply of 25 whole-body strength exercises - the "Sacred 25"- that will build muscle, protect joints, and add mobility. Exercise will do more than anything else to put off 70% of "normal" aging until the very end and eliminate 50% of serious illness and injury.

Great information

I love the straight forward information in this book. Switching between the author and expert is a great format.

A great follow up to "Youngrr Next Year"

If you've read the firat book, you"ll find this to be a great follow up to that book. All the books in the series express the seriousness of moving more and to quit eating crap,

I’m doing it, and it’s working

Enjoyed the book. Learned a lot. I recommend starting with Younger Next Year, then read this.

Knowledge is Power.

A great read, full of science and motivation. Can't recommend this book enough. Yeah, yeah, changed my life....

Eating Healthy not accurately presented

Healthy eating wasn’t presented accurately, need to include a plant based life style, as the healthiest option on the planet!

i enjoyed listening to it more than reading it

The audio book is great. the second describing the specific exercises was meaningless with seeing diagrams. But, I was inspired to exercise more.

Better Understanding of Food and Nody

Good stuff. Gave me the why of eating one thing vs another in a funny and entertaining fashion.

It takes a long time to be informative.

The 2nd half (give or take) where they start going into the exercises and diet/nutrition is good. The first part is all fluff and flattery making one wonder if the authors are ever going to get to a damn point. The 2nd half explains the hell my trainer puts me through and the chapter on warm up exercises is very interesting. I’ll definitely look into the website.
