You'll have noticed that many diet books consist largely of precise lists of foods and meals that you are expected to eat or to avoid in order to lose weight. While following such a prescription for weight loss will almost certainly work in the short term, as soon as you come off the diet your weight will go back on again. Why? There are several reasons: you're not learning new eating habits; you're not necessarily eating the foods that you like; you're following a plan based on someone else's food preferences; and perhaps most importantly, you're not addressing the underlying reasons for your overeating. In this book you will discover the information and strategies that underpin a new lifestyle in which your weight stays off. The principle behind the book is a variation on the above Chinese proverb; we would say: 'Give a woman a meal plan and she'll lose weight for a week. Teach a woman new eating and lifestyle habits, and she'll lose weight for the rest of her life.' The Power of Positive Eating offers more than a set of meal plans or a restricted list of foods. It is a holistic approach to eating and weight control, it is jointly written by a qualified dietitian and a successful dieter, and it provides ongoing support and help via a website. The latest information on dieting and food choices is presented along with some frank discussion of dieting and being overweight. We look at why we eat, the psychological and social issues, and set out techniques to lose weight and keep it off for the rest of your life. This book will give you back years in return as you lose that excess weight and experience the health benefits. It will empower you, mind, body and soul, to move forward from where you are now. To our knowledge, this is the first time a book has been jointly written by a dietitian and someone actually on a weight loss programme. The combination of accurate scientific information and personal insights is therefore unique to this book. We hope the book will inspire you, motivate you, and help you succeed where you have failed in the past. So far, three women tried out this new regimen with huge success. Here are some of their comments: "People keep commenting on how phenomenal I look and ask how I did it. I tell them it was easy and that I have only had to make a few changes and adaptations to my life to fit in the exercise and modify what I eat." "It's not about deprivation - it's about gaining a life! Every diet I have been on in the past involved me feeling like my throat had been cut, and I felt hard done by because I wasn't eating what I want. What I have learnt from this book is that you can have a life, and eat well. Not once have I felt I am 'on a diet'." "My doctor was amazed, I am now so much healthier: I had high blood pressure and was on the verge of having to go on medication, but thanks to the weight loss my blood pressure is now normal."
