The 12-Minute Weight-Loss Plan takes High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and combines it with a straightforward, easy-to-stick-to eating plan that shows readers how it is possible to lose weight with a minimum of effort, no special equipment - not even a gym-membership - and with just 12 minutes exercise a week.
Sounds too good to be true? It works, and it is supported with the latest cutting-edge scientific research. No counting calories, no wholescale avoidance of carbs, no fasting. It's genuinely easy to stick to. Contents include:
* Why lengthy exercise routines aren't as effective as HIIT
* The remarkable story behind HIIT
* A simple HIIT programme to be followed three times a week
* A dietary plan, including a two-week 'orientation phase' followed by a 'continuation phase'
* The essence of the eating plan: smart carbs, smart fats, smart proteins.
* Menus and lots of quick and tasty recipes
* A review of the scientific research supporting the exercise programme
