Читать книгу Only Fat People Skip Breakfast: The Refreshingly Different Diet Book - Lee Janogly - Страница 7

You don’t have to be a martyr to change your lifestyle and your weight. You live in the real world where there are social occasions, celebrations, family gatherings, holidays—and supermarket checkouts stacked with chocolate bars. In this real world we experience stress, mood swings, happiness, sadness, tensions and boredom, and we are surrounded by food all the time. You need a strategy for dealing with all of this without having to think constantly ‘Will I be breaking my diet?’

If you have been on the dieting seesaw for many years and know that quick-fix methods have ultimately failed you, it may now be time to take a longer-term approach—to get slim and stay slim once and for all. Then you can get on with your life.

This book contains the information you need to achieve permanent slimness. After years of diet counselling, I have realized that you can’t ‘treat’ someone who is overweight. You can only explain the effects fat and sugar have on the body and then leave them to make their own decisions about what to eat and how much. People have to take responsibility and become self-directed.

I can only act as a guide. I will not be telling you what to eat. How can I know what you like to eat? I will advise which foods work to keep you healthy and the best time to eat them, but the final decisions are up to you. You are the one who does the eating. Only you.

Obesity is when you weigh a stone more than your doctor.
