Shock Your Body: In order to challenge your body you must constantly change the three variables of your workout: Frequency, Intensity, and Time, what Joe calls the F.I.T. EQUATION. Many times workouts become boring and we lose interest. This will keep you going.

The Power of Positive Eating: Emphasizing that eating should be a positive experience and not about deprivation. Decker provides a list of 10 simple “do’s” that will change your life including: the importance of following a schedule, downsizing your portions, and being able to discern important information from nutrition labels.

Less Fat, Lose Fat: Research shows that carbohydrates are the body’s source of energy. Instead of cutting out carbohydrates and sugars completely like many other “trendy” diets, you’ll be gradually switching from simple carbs to more complex ones or “good carbs.”

Simple and easy-to-follow, The World's Fittest You features charts, worksheets, meal plans, and recipes to help take you from fat to fit, healthfully and sensibly. No gimmicks, no trendy diets--just a proven plan that works; it’s that simple.
