Outwit Your Weight : Everything You Need to Make Any Diet Work-And Get Results That Last
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
So many weight-loss programs focus primarily, if not exclusively, on diet. But according to Cathy Nonas, R.D., the real issue is not what you eat but how, when, and why you eat. Depending on your personality, certain situations can propel you to make poor food choices or to nibble when you -really aren't hungry. So you end up gaining weight instead of losing it. In Outwit Your Weight, Nonas helps recognize and reinforce potential weak spots in your individual eating style with a collection of tools that target diet, exercise, mood, and behavior. Take the exclusive Eating Assessment Test (EAT) to zero in on your personal Diet Danger Zones. Then create your own toolkit of skills and strategies to outsmart your most likely saboteurs and increase your chances of weight-loss success. The same tools have helped thousands of Nonas's clients slim down to an ideal weight. The real beauty is, they work with virtually any weight-loss program-from high-carb to high-protein, and all the options in between. In no time, you'll be saying goodbye to those unwanted pounds for good.
From the Inside Flap
Outwit Your Weight
Cathy Nonas, R.D., knows the secret to successful weight loss. The director of the VanItallie Center for Nutrition and Weight Management at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center in New York City, Cathy has shared the secret with thousands of her clients, who have lost thousands of pounds between them. In Outwit Your Weight, she'll share this secret with you.
You'll learn that weight loss has nothing to do with what you eat. The key is how, when, and why you eat. In this book, you'll discover your own unique diet personality and uncover your Diet Danger Zones, the situations that trigger you to overeat. Then Cathy will arm you with personalized tools to overcome them. Here's a sampling of Cathy's favorite tools.
* To remember to eat slowly, eat with chopsticks for a week.
* If you're a "mindless eater," stick a strip of masking tape across the doorway to your kitchen between meals. It will remind you to stay out of the kitchen.
* If you're dining out, order before you have a cocktail. Alcohol loosens your inhibitions, making it easier to order the fettuccine Alfredo instead of the grilled salmon.
* When you begin a meal, set an egg timer for 5 minutes. When it buzzes, decide whether you're still hungry and whether you want to continue to eat.
* If you have a TV in your kitchen, remove it. It's a primary cause of "eating amnesia"--forgetting that you ate, let alone how much.
