It's not easy.
Jackie Warner agrees that "Being fat isn't your fault" (a statement that I vehemently disagree with) and she goes on to say that "Staying fat is" (OK, so I agree with her on that one).
I'm sure that you'll agree with me when I say that unless I see quick results, I get discouraged. If I'm stuck eating rabbit food, I'll hop away (apologies to the Easter bunny). Ms. Warner says that This Is Why You're Fat (And How to Get Thin Forever): Eat More, Cheat More, Lose More--and Keep the Weight Off is your FIRST and LAST stop on the way to the new fit and healthy you. I certainly hope that she's right as I've started her program and I'd really like to be thin forever.
Interestingly, this book takes quite a different approach looking at the REAL reasons that we stay overweight (and they're not necessarily what you think).
- No overcomplicated diets or routines
- Deprivation does not work
- Live with intensity
If you're one of those people who likes a step by step, day by day menu of what to eat and how to exercise - it's in there. If you know that you're better off doing it ;yourself along with some advice - it's in there too.
FYI - Here are the principles that I'm following
- Fat is not the enemy: Fat doesn't make you fat: sugar does! Nothing you eat should contain over 9 grams of sugar (I can do that).
- Cheating is allowed: Eat Clean for 5 days, and then indulge in whatever you want over the weekend! Again - as long as I have something to look forward to, I can stick with it.
- Less exercise is more: Workouts shouldn't take over your day - give Jackie 20 minutes and you'll see results. I can do that (or at least I can work up to that...LOL).
