The Art of Losing It! Mastering Weight Loss In An Expanding World, the first book by JJ Virgin is available in two editions – one for the general public and one for the professional practitioner. Also, there is an accompanying CD: Jump Start the Art! This book is JJ’s response to the challenge that our world currently faces – the obesity epidemic.

“Obesity touches us all in some way. It is not only devastating our physical health, it is also destroying the emotional health and financial health of the nation.”

JJ offers a wealth of information about nutrition, quick and healthy recipes, “snacktoids” (snack factoids!), weight loss strategies, and ways to remain inspired. This book provides a step-by-step plan to address the simple measures for preventing long term complications of obesity. And as helpful tools for the practitioner, the professional edition includes intake and assessment forms and handouts that are understandable and ready to use.
