Time to lose the baby weight. I was sick of trying diet after diet and failing. I needed strategies that would work for me and a weight maintenance plan that would help me keep the pounds off. I buckled down, started a weight loss journal, and achieved my ideal weight within a year. The best part? I've maintained that weight ever since. Congrats on finding a plan that worked for you! What motivated you to write this book? I've seen friends, family, and coworkers struggle with weight loss. They've tried low-fat and low-carb diets, they've tried every healthy dieting technique under the sun (and some unhealthy ones too). Some lose weight, some don't. Some keep it off, some don't. I realized that weight loss strategies are different for everyone. So I collected all my ideas-and those from friends and family-into this book so you can find what works for you. I'm not a doctor but I am living the thin life. You can too! Everyone is different. How do you know what will work for me? I created a diet personality quiz where you can find out which "animal" you are and get tips for your type. For example, I'm a deer. I like to eat many small meals throughout the day, so if I don't watch calories it can quickly add up. My guidelines are to eat low-calorie foods and to exercise throughout the day to increase my metabolism and balance it out. Other personalities might need to watch portion size or stick to a low-fat regime. Is this book just for women? This book is for everyone. Almost all of us have a few pounds to lose, and if not, we might be looking for a weight maintenance program. You need to find the right strategies for you, not the latest fad diet or bogus fitness advice. Been there, wasted tons of time on that. You'll get only the best tips in this book!
