About this title

Review:

Here's another candidate for the "Whoa! Who's that old guy in the mirror?" genre. The advice in Shed 10 Years in 10 Weeks covers a wide range of age-related complaints: more fat, less muscle, more wrinkles, less sexual vitality, more illness, less short-term memory, and on and on. The proposed solutions to these problems rely heavily on nutritional supplements, which is a bit dubious, and there aren't any recommendations for strength training in the "Regain 10 Years of Muscle" section, which is even more suspect. (Julian Whitaker seems to be a cardio person.) But aside from those two quibbles, the advice seems useful and practical, especially for those who've worked and played just a little too hard in their first 40 or 50 years.

From the Back Cover:

Based on advanced scientific research and the actual experiences of thousands of Dr. Julian Whitaker's own patients, this remarkable program shows you how to strip away the wear and tear of aging. In this book, which includes a sound nutritional food plan, cutting-edge supplements, innovative skin treatments, an easy-to-follow exercise program, brain teasers, and more, Dr. Whitaker shows you how to:
-- lose a decade's worth of fat and regain 10 years' worth of muscle
-- erase fine lines, diminish wrinkles, and restore a youthful glow
-- boost your brain power and sharpen your memory
-- revitalize and enjoy your sex life into your 60s, 70s, and beyond
-- strengthen your immune system and prevent disease
