7-Day Plan to Change Your Life: The Rejuvenation Program, Diet, Fitness, Relaxation & Beauty

Berman (The New Fashioned Parent, etc.) gives step-by-step instructions for home duplication of a seven-day stay at California's Palm-Aire Spa where celebrities and socialites spend several thousand dollars for a week's rejuvenation and pampering. The book details a program of diet, exercise, relaxation techniques and beauty treatment. The plan is made accessible by sample schedules that specifically set aside time for home facials or a health club massage; shopping lists; charts on exercise energy expenditure, personal goals and the like; self-tests for body fat, strength and flexibility; and lucid, illustrated exercise instructions. ""Eat Rich/Stay Thin'' recipes include vegetable lasagna, strawberry crepes, tenderloin kabobs and a 40-calorie chocolate-peppermint mousse. Readers will want to incorporate the effective fitness and beauty strategies, as well as the recipes and indulgences, of this short-term regimen into their daily routines. (May)
