A smart, doalbe diet

My wife and I got on this diet more than a year ago. We both so instant results and we felt good doing it. You have a lot to do to first week(s), but you see and feel the results, so it keeps you going. I was only a few pounds overweight, but I wanted to find a diet that could get me down to a healthier weight and look a little better in my clothes. Don't be fooled by the title of this book, the best part of this diet is that it gives you tips to run your life from here on in, and I'm still following many of the basic principles. Well done.

What an AMAZING find!!!!

This was just the information I had been looking for. After following the 3 Day Plan I couldn't believe how great I felt - and I lost weight. The science behind why we overeat was truly revealing - now I understand much better why I can't just "make" myself do things - afterall, if behavioural change were easy we'd all be perfect. The information (methodology) for creating the behavioural change is included and is remarkable. There's also a website where you can visit for additional information and support. I can finally make sense of what I've been battling for the past 33 years and I have found a way out of the mire - I am so grateful for what this has brought to me.

At Last a Solution

I have been struggling with my weight and overeating for all of my adult life. During the 3 Days of the Solution Plan I felt stronger than ever that this is the 'solution' for me. I feel absolutely certain that this approach will blow 'diets' out of the water.

Finally - why diets can't work and what does...

This book shares a remarkable amount of information on the science behind weight gain and the reasons we turn to food - seemingly beyond our control. Anyone who has dieted knows that you can have all the information in the world at your disposal and still not be able to change your behavior around food permanently. This book explains why this is so and what you can do to make the changes that you need to make to address emotions and work with the feeling brain (something we all left behind as adolescents). The author's style is very relaxed, responsive and especially, knowledgeable. A very easy and informative read. The 3 day plan really does offer a means of seeing what life can be like free from the drive to use food for comfort. More importantly it provides the tools to make this happen. The website support is also a really great option for additional follow through! After 30 years of feeling ruled by food I finally feel newfound freedom.

This is really different and it works!

Wow! My husband I and did the 3-Day Solution Plan together. It was amazing. There was more food than I wanted -not diet stuff but real food. What I learned was that I could change my lifestyle, get more intimacy and at the same time lose my desire to be obsessed with food. It is worth the effort to learn to live in another way. I can rewire my limbic brain and learn how to relate to myself and others which in turn magically calms my desire to eat more than I need. Can't believe it!
