  • A program based on research into what worked for our most successful members--and what didn't work for those who gave up early on
     
  • A custom workout plan from Coach Nicole that helps you maximize your efforts--without spending hours in the gym

And it's from the SparkPeople experts you know and trust. The book was written by our head dietitian Becky Hand and me, but it was really a team effort. Chris "SparkGuy" Downie wrote the introduction. Coach Nicole developed the workout plan. Chef Meg created the recipes. Coach Dean contributed to the motivation section. And all of you contributed in some way. We surveyed our most successful members to find out what worked and what didn't--and that became the basis of the program our experts created for the book. You are "The Spark Solution"!
