Feel Good Naked

Drink water, not soda. Stand up straight. Exercise 10 minutes a day. These are the kinds of simple lifestyle changes that Laure Redmond advocates in Feel Good Naked: 10 No-Diet Secrets to a Fabulous Body. Drawing from her experience as a fitness therapist and exercise instructor (she had a stint on ESPN's Body Shaping), plus her own struggles with body image and weight, she shows how these steps can help women lose weight without deprivation. Her primary message, however, is that how you feel about your body is more important than your actual weight, and she urges women to be comfortable with a figure that isn't stick-thin. (Jan.)
