Biggest Loser trainer Jillian Michaels latest book, in bookstores today, tackles the most difficult part of weight loss keeping it off.

In Slim for Life (Harmony, $25), Michaels offers her real-life tips and tricks to losing weight and keeping it off without losing your mind. She says it's how she maintains her own long-term weight loss.

People think that you have to spend hours in the gym, or you have to meticulously count every calorie, that youre going to be miserable while youre trying to lose weight, and God help you if you have to keep it up while youre keeping it off, Michaels says in a video intro to the book. And you know something? None of that is true. I dont need to count calories anymore, and everything I eat tastes good, and I eat treats as well and still maintain a healthy weight.

Her book tries to untangle the often conflicting advice of weight-loss information and distill the strategies that will give you success.

Youll find points assigned to each nugget of advice 1, 2 or 3 points. By choosing which tips to adhere to in each chapter, youll tally up your slim score and Michaels will make recommendations based on the category you fall into.

For example, doing a 5-minute warm-up is 1 point, while remodeling your muscles through strength training is 3 points. Communicating your needs is 3 points and asking for feedback is 2 points.

Shes also into myth busting. Believing too much bad information can make losing weight and keeping it off highly frustrating and confusing. One of the dieting myths that Jillian wants to clarify: That you need to eat little meals throughout the day. Shes not a fan of this way of eating and instead suggests a 4 by 4 plan four meals every four hours. Thats breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner.

Shes also not a fan of cleanses and fasts; she says theyll actually become counterproductive. Instead, she suggests you cleanse your body by simply eating clean food.

But thats not all quinoa and carrot sticks. Michaels says to stick to an 80/20 rule. Eighty percent of the time, eat clean, whole, nutritious foods. A fat loss review can help you build a clear summarize of what you need to focus on to carry out your fat burning purpose if you're a starter; or serve as a reminder for these who are at an advanced or more advance level of their losing weight program. Promptly after are seven steps that can serve as instructions for your own weight loss system. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not a similar thing. Many weight loss plans have tricked people into thinking that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss applications only work by producing a person's body to burn more muscle flesh and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. Then make that 20 percent whatever you want. It can either be every fifth meal or 20 percent of your calorie allowance, which works well for weight loss or weight maintenance.

Chapters cover topics such as eating, moving, shopping, cooking, motivation and managing stress, among others.

There are also six pages of references, in case you want to check out the studies mentioned in the book.
