new york city—Fitness trainer David Kirsch is a secret weapon for numerous top models and actors, but his clientele also includes time-crunched CEOs, new moms, retirees determined to reverse years of poor eating habits, former military personnel, and even his own parents, who wanted to turn their health around after David’s father underwent quadruple bypass surgery. David is renowned for delivering super-fast results, including weight loss of up to 14 pounds in the first two weeks; firm muscles from head to toe; high-gear metabolic rates; rapid improvements in overall health, especially for those with cholesterol or blood-sugar issues; and a renewed sense of willpower that keeps clients on track for years after their initial consultation. How is he able to achieve such spectacular results? What does he know that other trainers don’t? The phenomenal facts are all revealed in THE ULTIMATE NEW YORK DIET (McGraw-Hill; October 2006; Hardcover).
Believing that world-class fitness should be available to everyone, David gives readers from all walks of life a whole-body, whole-life approach to wellness, featuring:
• A delicious eight-week plan that calls for eating five times a day, maximizes nutrients, staves off hunger, and sparks metabolism. Combining cutting-edge research with sumptuous spa cuisine, the menus in THE ULTIMATE NEW YORK DIET offer a fad-free, foolproof approach to eating well, with a lifetime of satisfying, easy-to-prepare recipes such as Thai Ginger Sirloin Salad; Spicy Wasabi Salmon Burgers; and Frittata with Broccoli Rabe, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, and Parmesan.
• Total body workouts you can do anytime, anywhere: Can’t get to the gym? THE ULTIMATE NEW YORK DIET has pages of solutions. David’s clients are some of the busiest people on the planet, but he finds a way to overcome all of their excuses. Whether you’re stuck in the subway or cooped up in a convention center, David gives step-by-step instructions—with more than 150 photos—for dozens of muscle-building workouts that keep you fit, no matter what. While his previous book, The Ultimate New York Body Plan, emphasized lengthy workouts, this plan offers greater flexibility to suit every schedule.
• The low-down on supplements, from meal-replacement beverages to appetite suppressants. David sorts the myths from the miracles in an eye-opening guide to a new wave of extracts, vitamins, and other supplements—backed by medical science—that are safe and effective in ramping up weight loss and overall health.
• How to live it up without letting yourself down: David offers real-world tips for surviving holiday feasts, cocktail parties, and restaurant dining (including a list of best and worst options from a variety of chain eateries). And if you do decide to indulge, he tells you exactly how much exercise is required to undo the damage.
• Inspiring case studies, with before-and-after photos from David’s many success stories. Their frontline advice, combined with a complete chapter that transforms pitfalls into motivators, breaks through the psychological barriers and makes a firm believer out of any fitness naysayer.
THE ULTIMATE NEW YORK DIET is neither a starvation diet, an artery-clogging fad diet, nor a diet without exercise. Instead, David gives you healthy results fast—providing instant incentive to keep going—through delicious cuisine, energizing workouts, and an intensive game plan that pays off dramatically. Tailor-made for the high-stakes, time-crunched lifestyle associated with New York, this is the plan for readers who are ready to put their fitness in the fast lane and start training like a pro.
