You don’t need me to tell you the nasty truth about diets--they are not designed to work
in the long haul. Big news there right? We all know that this is a big industry and hope is
what they sell. They know that people will bite the bait, because they need to believe that
the ultimate diet which would solve all their weight problems is out there, and if only
they just tried another diet. Perhaps this time….
So you’re probably asking, “so what is the alternative?” I can’t manage my weight on
my own. At least diets give me something I can follow and much needed discipline. If
not a diet, then what?
Well before we go further into this subject let us discuss what you can expect from this
book. What it is not is a magic formula. A formula is great to predict chemical reactions
with precise accuracy in a controlled environment. But you are not a predictable
chemical reaction. Every person reading this book right now is in a different
environment, under different circumstances. There is no one thing that will work for
everyone. This is the premise of diets, and this is what we are trying to get away from.
What the Non-Dieter Mindset seeks to do however, is to promote the attitude of the non-
dieter; to attempt to deprogram you so that you will never put yourself through the agony
of another diet again.
Perhaps this is the question of the century, and there’s hardly one answer to it. But if
you’ve ever been on one or two or 50 diets, you’ve probably answered this question by
way of a trail of stories from here to infinity. But really, there are 5 fundamental reasons
why diets don’t work in my opinion.
