FROM THE INTRODUCTION
Ready for a New Life?
Getting thin and staying thin is not an impossible dream.
Let me guess—you've tried them all: the grapefruit diet, the grapefruit juice diet, the grapefruit pill diet. Even as myriad new weight-loss schemes appear, most of us already know the verdict: diets don't work. In the vast majority of cases, people drop out of the diet within weeks and regain the weight. A significant percentage rebound from a diet to gain even more weight than they started with. You are probably suspicious of the word "diet," and I don't blame you.
That's why we're going to give you a plan—much more than a weight-loss diet—where the odds of success, once you start, are truly in your favor.
Our focus is on behavior change—permanent behavior change. It's only through a systematic shaping of everyday common behaviors that you will be able to break old habits and learn new ones. Drinking grapefruit juice until you scream is a behavior change, of course, but not the kind that you will sustain for very long.
Make sure you're ready for change
Changing those behaviors is exceedingly hard, but it can be done. I can say with confidence that, if you have picked up this book, you have what you need to succeed at losing weight. I've been researching weight management for over 15 years, and this book contains the best of what I and others have learned about the techniques and strategies that promote long-term weight loss and maintenance.
The EatingWell Diet gives you all the tools you need to break old habits and learn new ones that work with YOUR life, including:
- Finding—and facing—your eating triggers
- Eating and shopping mindfully
- Cultivating regular, joyful exercise habits
- Making a longer-term plan to keep the weight off for good
- ...and a 28 day mix-and-match menu plan to help build healthy eating habits, your way!
