From Fat to Fit: Turn Yourself into a Weapon of Mass Reduction
In my latest book, I'm on a mission to communicate an empowering message: "You and your friends can have fun, get fit and lose weight!"

Just before turning 60, I totally remade my life. After chronicling my 62-pound weight loss—shrinking from a size 18 to a size 6—in weekly newspaper articles, I inspired more than 1,000 people to team up and lose nearly 8,000 pounds of fat in two months.

Dr. Henry S. Lodge, coauthor of the New York Times Best Seller Younger Next Year and Younger Next Year for Women, calls it "a remarkable book about the remarkable person inside each of us. Whenever you decide to take charge of the rest of your life, Carole Carson will be waiting to show you the way."

A Rose by Any Other Name

Sugar comes in many forms and hides behind many names in the labels of processed and packaged foods. If you aren’t familiar with its various forms, you may consume more sugar than you realize, and the extra calories can trigger weight inflation on the bathroom scale. More importantly, for those people diagnosed with diabetes, extra sugar can raise blood-sugar levels and affect health and well-being.
