Gain to Lose is the second book this is authored by Dr Sheela Nambiar, a practising obstetrician, gynaecologist and a fitness and lifestyle consultant. Recently, this book was launched in Coimbatore at Odyssey book store. “This book explains how losing ‘weight’ does not necessarily mean that one is losing fat and being ‘slim’ is not necessarily the same as being ‘fit’. Instead, building muscle is the key, not only to losing fat and keeping it off, but for better functionality, a youthful body and greater strength.” Dr Nambiar says.

Based on her personal experiences and research, the author has delineated unique ways to permanently lose fat through muscle gain. This book educates the user that quick-fix diets and fads are not the answer; it is important to maintain a disciplined lifestyle. Therefore, one must say no to exercise and diet and yes to train and eat.

This book also throws light on how to get healthier by applying the right workout techniques, which result in fat loss and help individuals get into great shape. With useful tips and exercise regimes that can easily be followed by anyone, Gain to Lose: An Essential Guide to Losing Fat by Gaining Muscle is a must-read for women who want not just to look slim, but to be fit.

At the book launch function that was recently held in Coimbatore, Dr Nambiar urged women to adopt a strict exercise regime to stay fit and healthy. “Women must put aside some time for themselves. They have to manage their home and they have other responsibility too. However, it is very essential for every woman to stay fit and in shape.” Dr Nambiar said.
