The Healthy Living Lifestyle: How I Changed My Lifestyle & Lost 165 Pounds - And How You Can Too

Perhaps you're asking yourself: "Who is Amy Culver and why should I read her book?" That's a good question. After all, there are countless books available containing weight-loss plans. Some are even guaranteed to help you lose a lot of weight in a short period of time. This book doesn't come with that kind of guarantee. In fact, I'd be much happier to see you lose weight at a moderate and healthy pace.

I'm not a doctor and I don't play one on TV. I'm not a celebrity chef or celebrity trainer. I am a Certified Personal Trainer and I can offer you something even better.

I am one of you.

I am a food addict and I have been where you are: overweight, depressed, and wondering if I'd ever be able to conquer my food addiction and lose weight. I am 5'6" and weighed more than 300 pounds at my heaviest. Suffice it to say, I ate large quantities of food on a daily basis. It was hard for me to move. I hurt inside and out most of the time. My marriage and family life suffered terribly. You may be in a similar predicament. I want you to know that there is a way out.

By eating less, moving more and making small changes to my lifestyle, I was able to lose 165 pounds. Those small changes are detailed in my book.

The book consists of three sections:

• The details of my journey - how my weight problems began and how I was able to overcome them.
• Advice to help you create your own personalized food and exercise plan.
• My "Little Tips for Big Weight Loss" - small changes you can make to help you achieve your own Healthy Living Lifestyle.

My goal is to reach as many people as possible and stop as many obesity-related "suicides" as I can. I want the morbidly obese to know that there is hope and to know what losing weight can do for them. I want to express the joy of feeling fit and healthy. I want them to know there is someone who knows just how they feel.
