Q. What's #1 on The New York Times Best-Sellers List?; A. YOU: On A Diet - The Owner's Manual for Waist Management

Posted on: Tuesday, 21 November 2006, 18:00 CST

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- RealAge.com, the #1 source for achieving your age-loss goals, announced today that YOU: On a Diet -- the #1 book for achieving your waist-loss goals -- has taken over the top spot on The New York Times best-sellers list. This is the third top seller the two RealAge doctors have co-authored. Their first book, YOU: The Owner's Manual, is now #9 on the list.

The science-based plan in YOU: On a Diet is built around "the biology of blubber" and explains why waist size is more important than weight -- and how to diet smart, not hard -- with the doctors' trademark wit and wisdom. RealAge.com is the official website for the new blockbuster. The site's free YOU Doctor's Center lets you find a diet buddy, use an interactive Menu Planner, follow your waist loss, download The 20-Minute Workout video, and print out The 99-Second Edition of the book. Together, the online tools will help you lose inches, pounds, and make your RealAge younger.

Why the focus on waist size? Because belly fat is directly linked to the internal aging that leads to heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and more. Lose inches and you gain not only health, but youth. Getting started isn't hard. The YOU: On A Diet plan is based on four simple steps: 1. Measure your waist -- then watch it shrink. 2. Walk 30 minutes a day -- no excuses! 3. Find a buddy -- to help you stick with it. 4. Clean out the fridge -- and refill it with good-for-YOU foods.

"Taking the RealAge Test is also associated with becoming healthier," say Drs. Roizen and Oz, who are members of the RealAge Scientific Advisory Board. "YOU become healthier when you learn to be the world expert on your body!"
