This is not diet book. It has no calorie counting, no weighing yourself or your food, no measuring, no food restrictions, no portion control, and no weight loss goals. It is a weight control or stabilization book. The idea is to help you arrive at a comfortable, healthy, acceptable weight that you can maintain, without dieting, for the rest of your life. In Lifetime Weight Control, the author explains why diets don’t work and how they actually contribute to staying overweight. He combines recent research on metabolism, proven congnitive behavioral methods of habit change, and his own experience of weight problems in a unique, seven step program for settling into a stable, healthy weight range that you can maintain effortlessly for the rest of your life, without dieting or obsessing about weight. The advice in this book is based on recent research that contradicts several traditional, common notions about weight and dieting. It will take you some time to absorb and understand the fine points. Lifetime weight control is a skill, like driving a car, baking a pie, or singing a song. This book is for both men and women. The problems surrounding weight control are much more severe for women. More women than men suffer from obsession about weight and food, and their wounds run deeper. However, the solutions presented here will work for men as well as for women.
