"Never Say Diet", by Chantel Hobbs: Great Guidelines For Healthy Weight Loss

I just finished reading "Never Say Diet", by Chantel Hobbs. I think this book has a great guideline to follow for a healthy way of living. It focuses on working out first and then gradually changing your eating habits. As a person that has struggled with weight issues since a young age, I felt at times as if I was reading my own words. Chantel weighed over 300 pounds and with lots of determination and discipline, lost 200 pounds. She shows us how she did it and how anyone can have great results as long as they follow the guidelines that she outlines for us throughout the book. There are some great exercises shown throughout the book as well with options that are more challenging as you get stronger. The whole plan takes 16 weeks and comes in 4 phases. If you have some downfalls, then you will be in the phases longer and it will take more than the 16 weeks. In the beginning phases, you have to be more disciplined and you will slowly wean off certain things. During the later phases, you will be able to reintroduce certain things that will help you stick to your weight loss for the long term. I think it's a great book to help people that have issues with food. I think it is also a wonderful way for people to learn that they don't have to be afraid of exercise or of the gym.
