A diet book unlike virtually any other

Lose Weight with the Power of One: A Motivational Journey To Nutritional Sanity is a diet book unlike virtually any other. It opens on a simple premise... all diets fail. Some diets are based on myths (such as the "food combining diet") or even bad nutrition, and are certain to be harmful. Some diets are nutritionally sound on paper, but they effectively tell the dieter what to eat and when, according to someone else's rules - and human nature, complete with its changeable tastes, cravings, and moods, will sooner or later resist the morass of tangled rules and regulations. Instead of providing the reader with a meticulous eating plan, Lose Weight with the Power of One offers eight basic strategies for healthier eating, such as "reduce one's daily fat intake as low as possible", "eat breakfast", "do not bring factory made snacks, meals, or refined products into the home - use foods that are as close to natural as possible", and "stop eating when you are approaching feeling full". These simple tenets can promote a nutritional lifestyle revolution. Each principle, and the reasons behind it, is explained in-depth in a dialogue format that almost resembles reading a novel. In a world horribly over saturated with fad diets that ignore the basic needs and nature of the body, Lose Weight with the Power of One is an absolute "must-read" for anyone striving to make permanent, positive changes in their eating and health habits.

Doorway to the Complete Personal Trainer Package

Lose Weight with The Power of One is a highly effective weight-loss-specific tool that is being used by Personal Trainers to increase their clients' success rate. This unique weight-loss guide not only teaches the basics of weight management, but more importantly, MOTIVATES the client into adopting a new nutritional lifestyle, one that complements each clients' tastes, cravings, and ethnicity. This is not a diet book. And that is why Trainers across the US are now making it REQUIRED READING for all clients with weight issues. By discussing the book's eight simple strategies during the training session, Trainers are improving their clients' nutritional lives, expanding their own effectiveness, and enhancing the clients' fitness/nutrition experience. Trainers: Lose Weight with The Power of One is not only a must read for your clients. It is also the doorway to the complete Personal Trainer Package.

Finally understand the strategies for permenent weight loss

I wish I had thought of this concept. It's brilliant to share weight loss strategies through the tale of one woman who real woman can relate to. Readers (male or female) will be inspired by this womans journey. She is not perfect, she has fears, she has obstacles, she has set backs and she also has hope, determination and ultimately success. You are routing for her every step of the way as you are relating to her challenges and victories. When my clients read the the 8 simple strategies they have "ah ha" moments where things begin to click and they believe in thier ability to follow the suggestions and make postive changes. I read the entire book on a round trip plane trip from Newark to Utah. I could not put it down. I recommend this book for all of my clients who are struggling with living a healthful lifestyle. I am currently working with 4 clients who have over 100 pounds to lose and have recommended it to each of them. Several have read it more than once. Read this book if you want an enlighten tale with real life strategies that work.

Great Piece of Work

Sound nutritional advice written in a novel format...so reading it is effortless. I have read numerous books on nutrition/diet and this one is amoung the best. I am a certified personal trainer and found this book to be incredibly easy to read; a common sense approach to lifestyle changes that's very motivating without any of the techno babble that tends to turn readers off. Great work. Sheilah, BS, NSCA-CPT, Massachusetts

Lose Weight With The Power of One

The world of nutrition is full of half-trues and misinformation. Stephen Moss is able to cut through all the confusion to bring a straightforward and honest approach to living a healthy lifestyle. Being in the health and fitness industry the public is searching for the magic pill or fad diet that will make all the pounds melt away. As Mr. Moss states, "Permanent weightloss is as much a function of the mind and heart, of courage and commonsense, as it is what we eat." I high recommend this book as a voice of reason in this world filled with quick fixes and outrageous diets. Paul Stofko BS, CSCS
