After nearly 150 years of ‘recorded’ dieting, American’s are fatter than ever. America’s weight problem is so serious that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) now spends nearly $800 million a year on research which has failed to produce a pill that will melt fat away or an injection to eliminate our cravings and bad habits. The good news is that Daniel Reynen, health and fitness expert and author of the newly released book The Diet is Dead, has spent more than a decade studying and testing hundreds of nutrition strategies. As president of WeBeFit Personal Training, Reynen pitted the strategies against one another while counseling thousands of clients and now concludes that dieting is actually dead.
Behavior-focused studies have identified four steps, that when taken together, lead to greater success at losing weight and keeping it off. You’ll find all four steps are the foundation for Reynen’s book, The Diet is Dead. They include:
- Behavior Shifts-- how to make positive, permanent behavioral changes, not radical overhauls.
- Assessment-- determine what kind of shape you’re REALLY in so you can set realistic goals.
- Monitoring-- options to monitor what you eat; paper charts, smart phone programs, online systems and even pre-packaged meals.
- Ongoing Support-- social media based information so readers can stay informed, inspired, and in touch with their new personal trainer.
The interactive workbook-style manual goes far beyond theory and trends. Reynen presents actionable plans, data, calculations, charts and menus that can be immediately implemented, based on personal likes and body chemistry, to get the reader on their own individual road to wellness.
“I want people to know the truth. Artificial sweeteners do serve a purpose, red meat is not the enemy, and desserts may still be enjoyed,” says Reynen. “The Diet is Dead tells readers how to evaluate what they need, based on their specific goals, activities and preferences, not what we think they need or should buy.”
In The Diet is Dead Reynen illustrates coping techniques for attending parties, traveling, holidays, eating out, and more. Anentire section of the book shows the reader how to go through any food label in ten seconds or less, and discover if it’s good, bad or indifferent for each individual. No more guessing; the book reveals key words and phrases to look for fast.
While most diet books leave the reader alone in the end, Reynen offers comprehensive support on his website—as well as case studies, more recipes and scientific data to back everything up.
