In the struggle to lose weight and keep it off
the best advice may come from people who have been there and done that-winners in the battle of the bulge. A new book offers advice and plenty of frontline tips. The book
How to Lose 9,000 Pounds or Less by 516 Dieters Who Did
(Hundreds of Heads
$13.95)
contains hundreds of interviews with real people across America.

This book isn't like so many other diet books that promise a "quick fix" for readers who follow a rigid plan. Instead
it gives hard-won
down-to-earth advice from hundreds of real people who have tried every kind of diet
found what worked for them (and what didn't work)
and lost weight. The tips range from simple adjustments to more elaborate lifestyle changes. For example
one dieter found that she could stop sugar cravings by eating a pickle. Another dieter lost weight by using the trunk of her car as her refrigerator. In winter
she made herself walk outside barefoot every time she wanted something to eat.
