When it comes to health, there is one criminally overlooked element: sleep. Good sleep helps you shed fat for good, stave off disease, stay productive, and improve virtually every function of your mind and body.

A Holistic Approach to Dieting
Every season brings a new trendy, get-fit-quick diet plan. Target 100 isn’t one of those. It’s truly a holistic approach, not one just based on counting calories. The “100” refers to the concrete goals Josefsberg lays out in the book: 100 minutes of movement a week, 100 minutes of exercise, 100 minutes of stress relief weekly, and so on. Josefsberg presents her case from a place of authority: years of experience in the health industry, notably as a leader at Weight Watchers, have earned her a wealth of knowledge—not to mention a slate of highly visible success stories. Just check out Jessica Simpson’s and Jennifer Hudson’s transformations for proof – and listen to this book to hear the habits that got them there.
