Sal Di Stefano's raw fitness truths about motivation, resistance training, and intuitive eating can help anyone, at any age, at any level. — Jason Fung, MD, New York Times bestselling author

  • The exact formula for nutrition that makes losing fat while sculpting your body a breeze
  • Dozens of self-assessments to track your progress, and much more

Stop those mindless hours of cardio and make real gains in health and weight loss. Resistance exercise that builds muscle is key to weight loss, metabolic health, even healthy ageing. — William Davis, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Wheat Belly book series
