ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I thank Janette, Alison, and David, who make today even more special than yesterday. I cant wait until tomorrow.

My parents, Bella and Sol Levine, continue their solid, unwavering support, as Dr. Ilana Rindner nurtures us with her wisdom, as does the spirit of Richard Rindner.

And Arlene and Uri Ascher and Marc Rindner Esq., I admire you all.

My agent always gets top billing after the family. Mel Berger, thanks.

None of us would be here now without the terrific folks at LifeLine Press, beginning with Mike Ward, Associate Publisher, who got this project jumping, then saw it through with his vision right up to the end. Mike, thank you.

Editor Molly Mullen, drawing on her experience as a writer and marathoner, got people and paper together on time and in the write mix. Thanks, Molly.

Art director Rich Kershner designed The 7-Minute Miracle from cover to cover. His immense talent, like this book, are open for all to see. Thanks, Rich.

Publicist Lauren Lawson (another marathon runner!) gets the word out from East coast to West and beyond. Having her on your side gives an author a much-needed advantage in the book world. Good going, Lauren.

Jack Croft, freelance editor, is special. He drafted a light, airy quality to the manuscript, organizing it, making it easily accessible. Well done, Jack, even though you are in Philly accent denial!

Laurie Schlussel, R.D., M.A., is the brains behind the menus. A true professional, she worked within the tightest of deadlines and never complained. Thanks Laurie.

Lada St. Edmund, personal trainer extraordinaire, advised me on the workout routines in the book. Terrific, Lada. Heather Henry and Scott Grimaldi brought the routines to life with style. Thanks, guys.

Betty Del Pozzo and Judy DAndrea guard my sanity in Mahwah and are cherished.

I will miss the lively conversations with the late John Cammarata, M.D., a bariatric pioneer, almost as much as his patients miss him. I thank his wife Kathy for her support.

Kudos to Elizabeth Letizia.

Spencer Delisle, Anne Dittamo, Detective Jack Oppelt, Mary Jo McFadden, Darlene Clark, Tracy Garrison, Stephanie Klein, Andrew Lesnak, Robbin Leibowitz, and Eric Mathews all helped in a big way. Thank you all.

Brad Adams and Donna Carrazone, former Mrs. New Jersey, deserve gratitude for their efforts.

Thanks to Claudia Allocco, Head Medical Librarian at the Valley Hospital, for help with the research for this book.

A special salute to Sylvester Collins, Pvt. E-1, U.S.M.C., of Detroit. Youll find his name on Panel 13W, Line 73 on a low, black wall in Washington, D.C.

Thank you to Pam from Great Expectations Antiques.

Finally, to all of my patients. The word doctor is derived from the Latin word for teacher. All my patients must be doctors, then, because they have taught me so much. Thank you all!

INTRODUCTION

Hi!

Brief introductions rule, dont you agree?

If you have an oversized body part that you wish were smaller, your time has come.

The same couldnt be said just a few short years ago. New discoveries in the fields of genetics and weight loss give us amazing fresh insights into how we lose weight, compelling us to change the very way we look at our bodies and body fat.

The latest research reveals that if you want trimmer thighs, hips, arms, and backsides, youll first have to get off the high-protein, high-fat, low-carb merry-go-round. If you want to shrink your belly or buttocks, put your dumbbells down and get off your home exerciser. Saddlebags, spare tires, thunder thighs, and love handles are not the result of poor diet or poor exercise habits.

They are genetic!

And like genetic traits, fat accumulates at the same exact spots within families. Thats why the lament I have my fathers backside or My thighs and hips are shaped just like my aunts can be heard throughout the land.

Think of it like this, your face resembles that of a relative because of genes and so does your body.

But if you are unhappy about a particular body part, dont curse your heredity, work with it!

The 7-Minute Miracle introduces you to genetic body sculpting, a combination of eating and exercising in a specific way that targets fat only, not muscle.

Most body-shaping plans put too much emphasis on weight-lifting and muscle-building and not nearly enough on fat-burning. The unique genetic approach of The 7-Minute Miracle does away with weights, gyms, exercise machines, and round-the-clock dieting.

Your weight-control genes are normally dormant. But the 7-Minute Miracle Genetic Body Sculpting Plan wakes them up! Once you learn how, in just minutes, you can activate and reprogram the weight control genes from your least favorite body part. Thats how you lose weight when you want to and, for the first time, from where you want to.

And it wont take forever, either.

The true miracle is what your body can accomplish in only 7 minutes, sparking a chain reaction that lasers in on and burns fat for hours, in the exact area that bugs you most, be it the hips, thighs, belly, butt, or arms.

This isnt fantasy, its science.

The same science that demonstrates that no matter what your weight loss track record is, you can have your own private 7-Minute Miracle.

Go for it!

Best Wishes,

Sheldon Levine, M.S., M.D.

PART ONE

THE NEW SCIENCE OF GENETIC WEIGHT LOSS

CHAPTER ONE

SCULPTING YOUR OWN MASTERPIECE IN 7 MINUTES A DAY

When the great Italian Renaissance artist Michelangelo set out to create his statue of David, he was careful not to re-create the supermuscular dudes with bulging pecs favored by the Greeks and Romans of antiquity.

Though he was only 29 years old, Michelangelo was 500 years ahead of his time in realizing that the stone physiques of yore were too stylized and unrealistic. He wanted the real deal, someone with a body that we all could relate to. So he hewed away tons of excess fat, in the form of excess marble, to reveal the beauty of Davids muscles beneath.

He may not have known it, but Michelangelo was also half a millennium ahead of his time in demonstrating a simple yet profound truth thateven todayis not understood by the self-proclaimed weight-loss gurus: That fatnot muscleshapes you. If you want a shapely figure, you dont need lots of muscle. You need less fat.

Why? Because fat, not muscle, shapes the outer contours of your body, determining how you look both in clothes and without them.

MASTERPIECE: It took Michelangelo 3 years to work a miracle with marble and reveal the flawless physique of David.

Consider this: The great block of Carrara marble that Michelangelo used to carve his colossal 13-foot David was not only a second-hand hunk of stone, it was actually a third-hand piece. Two other artists, Agostino di Duccio and Antonio Rossellino, had already worked on it before each eventually abandoned the project.
