Freehold Doctor Gives Weight Loss Secrets in New Book

Dr. Rebecca Cipriano of Healthy Woman and Pop Weight Loss provides readers with weight loss tips for a healthy lifestyle in her new book 'Pop: Burst the Diet Bubble and Finally Lose Weight'.

A Freehold doctor is helping people transform their outlook on food and exercise with her new book.

‘Pop: Burst the Diet Bubble and Finally Lose Weight’ is a book written by Colts Neck resident Dr. Rebecca Cipriano. As a doctor of Healthy Woman in Freehold and Colts Neck, Cipriano’s uses both her degrees to give patients a personalized weight loss plan.

“I went to medical school in Chicago and at the same time of getting my MD I got a masters in nutrition. I actually did not use it until after the birth of our daughter who is 8 now. I had gained weight and had developed high blood pressure and diabetes. I had trouble losing it and at that point I formed a weight loss program called A Better You Weight Management,” explained Cipriano.

In 2012, A Better You Weight Management turned into Pop Weight Loss when Cipriano and her husband decided to franchise the business. Today, Pop Weight Loss has its own office in the Freehold headquarters of Health Woman. While the location of Pop Weight Loss is convenient for Monmouth County residents, Cipriano wanted to further help those looking to lose weight by writing her first book 'Pop: Burst the Diet Bubble and Finally Lose Weight’. 

“The book is a mock write up of what you would receive by coming to the office to see us. Readers will find out what we do and how we analyze their diet and how we can make a schedule for eating. There is even a plan of eating in the book, so readers are be able to make their own program and hopefully stick to it as well,” said Cipriano. “I really do believe that we make weight loss easy and we have an easy guide on how to explain nutrition because if you can start looking at food for health and not for comfort, then food you begin eating food for your body.”

In addition to Cipriano's book, Pop Weight Loss provides additional aid through the company's own product line.  

"We developed a product line which has supplements and protein shakes. I really believe that we are able to provide aid through our product line, but you have to be able to make good choices whether you are eating out or at home. Healthy eating shouldn’t be on or off, this whole idea is exhausting and even as a physician, to hear people talk about yo-yo dieting is crazy. I am out to try to completely break the idea of dieting and just help people get into a healthy lifestyle.”

According to Cipriano, the only way to keep weight off is by transforming your lifestyle and learning how to eat right and exercise. 

“I think exercise makes you feel young, it makes you feel powerful and turns you into the person you want to be. I don’t think people give it enough priority. You don’t actually need it [exercise] to lose weight but to maintain the weight loss and break the yo-yo system, exercise is crucial."

'Pop: Burst the Diet Bubble and Finally Lose the Weight' can be purchased as an ebook on Amazon.com. In the near future, Cipriano will have the book available at both Healthy Woman locations in Freehold and Colts Neck.
