After more than twenty years as a weight-loss and fitness expert, Jim Karas had seen enough body types to know one thing for sure: petite women's greatest advantage is also their greatest disadvantage-their bodies have the potential to change rapidly. Now, if you want to lose weight and you have the right program, this is great news. But if you're under stress, have developed bad eating habits, and have become sedentary, it's disastrous. And petite women know this! They've watched their lanky friends eat pizza and drink beer without gaining an ounce, while they quickly gained the infamous freshman fifteen. They've watched their taller gal pals instantly drop the baby weight, while they still made excuses as their babies turned to toddlers.
