In How The Rich Get Thin: Park Avenue’s Top Diet Doctor Reveals the Secrets To Losing Weight and Feeling Great (St. Martin’s Press; Hardcover; $22.95; 268 pages), Dr. Jana Klauer, one of Manhattan’s top weight control doctors, explains that her upscale clientele gets and stays slim because they have “the Park Avenue mind-set.” People with this mind-set formulate a plan, stick with it over time, and refuse to give up when faced with adversity.
According to Dr. Klauer, a major key to weight control is calcium, which aids in increasing metabolism levels. Studies have shown that the thinnest people have the highest intake of calcium, while obese people have the lowest. If wealthy jet-setters are pleased with Dr. Klauer’s plan, then cosmopolites, who have adopted “the Park Avenue mind-set,” may want to give it a try. For more information, go to www.janaklauermd.com.
