Do you overeat when you feel bored or stressed out? Do you like to exercise alone or with a group? When it comes to diet and weight loss, no two people are alike. That's why one-size-fits-all programs that use the same approach for everyone are doomed to fail--and why The Real You Diet can help you succeed.
Created by Dr. Madelyn Fernstrom, one of the nation's leading weight-loss specialists and a regular diet and nutrition expert for the Today show and iVillage.com, The Real You Diet helps you develop a personalized program to lose weight and keep it off for good. First, Dr. Fernstrom guides you through a self-evaluation process to pinpoint the areas you need to focus on most and honestly assess the body, mind-set, and lifestyle factors that may be sabotaging your weight-loss efforts. She gives you a comprehensive set of tools to effect change in the four major areas that are crucial to losing weight: behavior, eating, activity, and medical/biological. The right combination of these tools, hand-picked by you for your personal toolkit, will support your weight loss and, later, weight stability for the long haul.
Each area tackles major stumbling blocks you may encounter and shows you how to overcome them. You'll make the most of:Behavioral tools. Change habits, minimize mindless eating, and reward yourself without using food.
Eating/food tools. Avoid portion distortion, use reverse calorie counting, and become a positive snacker.Activity tools. Understand your physical activity, temperament, start moving every day, and much more.
Medical/biological tools. Learn how to talk to your doctor, identify your biological barriers to weight loss, and make sense of supplements and medications.Once you assemble your toolkit and put it to work, you can begin to see results in just eight weeks, and a twenty-one-day meal plan will help you get started. Along the way, you can add or take away tools as needed. Bored with your plan? Just replace some worn-out tools with new, more effective ones. Dr. Fernstrom guides you through each step of your journey to help you make, and keep, a personal connection and commitment to your goals as you work to achieve them--your way--and discover the beauty of the real you.
