Description: Small changes add up
in big ways.
That's the empowering message of Scale Down, a
book loaded with small but significant steps you can take today to
improve your health and weight tomorrow. Healthy living, says Danna
Demetre, happens only when we honestly examine all dimensions of body,
soul, and spirit. That's why Scale Down offers a realistic plan
for weight loss--and much more--that incorporates all three aspects of
our lives.
Now updated with new chapters and even more helpful
tips, Scale Down is perfect for both personal and small group
use and can accompany either Danna's audio CD series or the Scale
Down--Live It Up DVD-based curriculum. However you decide to use
it, Scale Down will give you a message of hope through
self-evaluations, biblical principles, and Danna's own powerful
testimony. You can break free from unhealthy habits and build a positive
image of yourself as a child of God. Scale Down will show you
how!

While it stands alone as diet and health book, this
title is one part of a curriculum kit that includes a DVD, CD, and
workbook that utilizes all learning styles. I first heard of
Danna Demetre when I saw her on Fox Family's Living the Life.
I was intrigued by her demonstration on how making small changes add
up to significant weight loss. She was not a proponent of fad
diets and extreme makeovers, but she recommended small steps.
After the show I ordered the book as well as the curriculum kit and
I wasn't disappointed. I've been going through the program on
my own (I'm in my third week) and am considering starting a group at
my church.
I've struggled with my weight for several years,
trying one fad diet after another and losing the same 25 lbs. over
and over again. Two years ago I decided that I was done with
chasing the quick fix and needed to make some lifestyle changes.
I've struggled on my own the past two years slowly losing 8 lbs. and
keeping it off. Since I've kept off the 8 lbs. for a year, but
was not losing anymore, I felt I needed some help in making some
more lifestyle changes. This book was a godsend.
Danna writes from the heart and affirms that we were
all created by God and that He loves us no matter what we weigh.
From there she discusses the health issues surrounding obesity and
sets before the reader a plan to achieve success...not just in
pounds but in a healthy lifestyle.
The book itself contains all the material that you
will find in the DVD, CD, and workbook, but I found that using all
the resources reinforced the lifestyles changes suggested.
I highly recommend this book and curriculum...and
join a class!
