What if I told you that no matter how hard you try and no matter how many diets you suffer through, your weight will never go down? And even if you manage to lose a couple of pounds, you will gain it all back? Losing weight is more than what diet to go on. Losing weight is more than what exercise plan you follow. It’s much deeper than that. That is why you have tried for years and have never truly succeeded. So is there any hope? Yes, but...the only way to make long-lasting change is to change yourself from within.

In this book, celebrity nutritionist and fitness expert J. J. Virgin pinpoints the 10 foods that sabotage weight loss. Just by eliminating these 10 diet saboteurs, listeners will see incredible results.

And too many are unable to get the answers they’re really seeking from their doctors.

El árbol del Yoga es un audiolibro conciso, sencillo y de fácil lectura acerca de lo que el maestro Iyengar entiende por yoga.
