Leslie Sansone’s Eat Smart, Walk Strong |
 |
Review
Summary |
The simple fact of weight loss is this: the body loses weight when it burns more calories than it consumes and that can only be accomplished by moving the body more and consuming fewer calories. This is not rocket science, it is not old news, it is not even a guarded secret, but it is obvious that most Americans are not getting it, or if they are, they do not care. The obesity epidemic as well as the chronic health conditions related to obesity is growing. There are many in the exercise and nutrition field who genuinely sense a life’s calling to coach America into a healthier nation.
Leslie Sansone is the Forrest Gump of walking, so to speak. She has written six books and produced four CDs that are meant to inspire the nation to make walking a lifestyle. Her book, Eat Smart, Walk Strong: The Secrets to Effortless Weight Loss, details steps she believes are keys to straightforward weight loss. The book includes a workbook that is intended to help the individual identify bad habits and commit to promoting good ones.

| Overview At A Glance |
|
The 6-week Eat Smart, Walk Strong program covers a different habit (such as portion control) with tips on how to apply it every week. Each week also has a focus food (such as whole grains) explaining its benefits and providing ways to incorporate more of the focus food into the diet. The book’s purpose does not seem to be a rigid approach to eating smart and walking strong; more of a coaching relationship seems to come across in the writing. It stresses conscious eating, conscious living, and continuous improvement in all areas of life.

| Conclusion |
|
It is encouraging to see exercise enthusiast like Sansone emphasize the paramount role that aerobic exercise and calorie reduction has in weight loss. Diet and exercise are the yin and yang of a healthy lifestyle, not to mention weight loss. Consistent, moderate aerobic exercise that is sustained for at least 30 minutes every day will empower a person with physical energy. Walking seems the most reasonable and affordable alternative for most of the population. Now if we could just start a “walking endemic”, my, what a trim nation we would be! A healthy diet that consists mainly of fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains with controlled amounts of dairy, protein and fats will cause the body to function efficiently. Hydrating the body with at least 6-8 glasses of fresh water every day works to cleanse the toxins from the digestive system. You can count on this science! There are also appetite suppressants and thermogenics that show promising results that can assist a person who is already disciplining themselves with calorie control and exercise similar to what Sansone’s book promotes.
