Fad diets create a bigger problem than they solve: they are unsustainable. So, even if you lose the weight you want to lose, the inevitable rebound is right around the corner.
Enter flexible dieting, the framework contained in this book that you can use to create a fat loss diet based on your preferences. That way, it will be sustainable because you can get to your goals by eating the foods that you love. And you can learn to love the process as you go.
Along the way, we’ll discuss common misconceptions of dieters (“starvation mode”) as well as strategies for implementation in the real world. Learning to embrace the journey will be far more impactful than goal chasing. Goals change with time, but fitness and fat loss is a journey without end.
So, let’s get started on your journey. It all starts on page one.
THREE REASONS YOU SHOULD READ THE FAD PROOF DIET
- you’ll never be fooled again the allure of the fad diet is in the thinking that there will be some magical biochemistry going on that makes losing weight a cinch if you will “just follow these simple rules.”
There are some simple rules–but they don’t involve insulin or avoiding entire categories of your favorite foods. - You will learn how to embrace the fat loss journey people you know who have lost fat and kept it off for the duration all have one thing in common: They’ve learned that the embracing process is far more important than achieving a goal. The Fad Proof Diet is a short manual of how to get started on the journey.
- You can get results and still eat ice cream because, really, what good is getting lean if you can’t eat ice cream?
If you’re more confused than ever when it comes to weight loss, you’re not alone. Most people who try to lose weight look for a system to guide them. Unfortunately, most of the systems are rooted in bad science–even if they work for the intended goal.
The reason they work, however, is the important part. Once you understand the basics of fat loss, you’ll understand how all of the fad diets work. More importantly, you’ll be able to set up a diet that’s built around your preferences.
Once you’ve tailored your fat loss diet to your preferences, you’ll be able to stick to it for the duration.
And, most importantly, once you get to your desired weight and body fat level, you’ll be able to maintain it. The single biggest problem with following a fad diet is that most of them are unsustainable for the long term, so people regain the weight they lost and then some after ending the diet. That won’t happen to you when you create your own system based on the easy rules laid out in The Fad Proof Diet.
If you’re looking to strength train, and want to know the basic program that will get you strong faster than anything else out there, well, I wrote a book about that, too.
Reunion Ready was my first book–and I’m still proud of it. The first half is much of the same nutrition advice you’ll see in The Fad Proof Diet, and the second half is the weightlifting program.
And no, that’s not me on the cover!
