Dal risvolto di copertina interno

“After years of helping others lose weight, I have come to the conclusion that the answer to our obesity problem in the United States lies with each of us overcoming our diet vices.  This may sound too over simplified, but I truly believe, and will show you, that this is probably the biggest hurdle to getting a handle on the extra weight and the extra calories that you don’t need.  It’s not that we haven’t had the right eating plan, or the correct food combinations, or an improper “points” system.  I don’t believe that we lack the intelligence to discern between good and bad foods.  I think it boils down to a few simple contributing factors.  But I am also convinced that we have been conditioned to believe that dieting is complicated and that we must follow a diet in order to lose weight.
We have been sidetracked for so long on this topic of dieting, that I think what happened to me is what is happening to the entire country – we’re dieting ourselves to a state of obesity!  If you think about it, you’ve probably tried at one time or another to radically change what you eat in order to follow the recommendations of some expert’s diet plan.  I’m guessing that didn’t work out to well.  If you are anything like I was, you couldn’t stick with those radical changes and you jumped back in (face first!) to the foods you ate before.  That sums up how just about all of us have dieted – on and off for years.
Let’s be honest – there are plenty of foods out there I think you would agree that aren’t healthy.  In fact, I’m willing to bet that you not only know what foods aren’t healthy, but which ones and how much of them you eat!   See, I believe that we don’t need an expert to tell us how to diet.  And since I’m speaking about ‘experts’ in the third person, I obviously don’t put myself in the ‘expert’ category.  But I believe I know some things about the way to live in order to achieve a healthy weight.  And the first thing you need to know is that identifying the diet vices in your life is the first step to gaining control of your life and your weight.”
