Each year 400,000 pregnant women in the United States get the weight loss surprise of their lives: They lose so much weight after delivery that they weigh less than they did before they were pregnant. "The weight just seemed to come off by itself," they say. Want to know their secret? It's in this book--and in your "new mom" body. Contrary to popular belief, losing weight after childbirth is easier than at any other time--if you understand your body's unique postpartum chemistry. For the first time, weight loss expert Sheldon Levine, M.D., reveals the "three trimesters of weight loss" that occur after delivery, and how to lose weight at each stage, no matter how much you weighed before pregnancy: Birth to Three Months Postpartum: The best time to lose weight! The plummeting hormones and elevated metabolism of new motherhood naturally speed the process. Just follow Dr. Levine's simple dietary advice to help ward off the "baby blues" and boost energy, and your body will do the rest. Three to Six Months Postpartum: The key weight loss phase for overweight new moms: You can actually lower your set point--the weight your body "likes" best. Six to Nine Months Postpartum: Good news for overweight nursing moms: Their unique body chemistry allows weight loss to continue, offering a real chance of attaining (and maintaining) a healthy weight. Dr. Levine's simple fourteen-day menu plan is nutritionally sound for new and nursing moms. It increases energy, minimizes food cravings and mood swings, and includes recipes and lifestyle tips. His toning program takes only minutes a day. Both enhance the new mother's physical and emotional well-being. So forget sit-ups! Forget diets! Dr. Levine's new approach works with your body chemistry to make weight loss after childbirth easy, fast--and forever.

Legendary country and rock singer/songwriter Chapman has seen many of her more than 250 songs ("Betty's Bein' Bad," "The Perfect Partner") made famous by other artists like Jimmy Buffett, while her own recording career never went beyond cult status. This wild and woolly memoir deserves to gain her a much wider audience than just her loyal fans. Structured as a series of essays about 12 of her songs "that have the best stories around them," this is a hilarious and entertaining look at life by a fascinating 40-something artist who is not afraid to admit that she wrote one of her favorite songs ("Rode Hard and Put Up Wet") after waking up "around noon facedown in my front yard-which was a vegetable garden-wearing nothing but my underpants." The rebellious child of an upper-middle-class family in South Carolina, Chapman moves from college life at Vanderbilt to Nashville in the early 1970s, "about when the ' 60s hit the South," just in time to be a part of the "outlaw" country music era along with Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson ("hell, back then, Willie didn't even bathe on a regular basis"), and she gives excellent insight into the rowdy ways of that much storied era. She also uses the creation of other songs to discuss everything from her "career of dating criminals" to her current sobriety with her true love, a man who wouldn't be fazed if Chapman chopped wood "with nothing on but a pair of men's boxer shorts."
