Christmas is nearly here, with the New Year’s celebrations to follow.\u00a0And on Jan 1, will come the inevitable belt tightening, and resolutions to eat right and exercise.<\/p>\n

Problem is, there’s always the temptation to try for fast results, using extremely low cal and\/or fad diets.\u00a0 This is a dumb idea, as – in the long run – weight maintenance is the goal.\u00a0 Lots of people lose lots of weight…but very few keep it off.\u00a0 The ones who do, are the ones who change their eating and activity habits – permanently.\u00a0 This is a process that takes time and patience.<\/p>\n

So forget the fad diets, and look for sensible, science-based approaches… Like the ones suggested in this article by respected science and nutrition writer, Jean Brody<\/a>.\u00a0 The books she reviews are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Volumetrics Weight-Control Plan: Feel Full on Fewer Calories,\u201d by Barbara J. Rolls and Robert A. Barnett (HarperCollins).<\/li>\n
  2. The Beck Diet Solution\u201d and \u201cThe Beck Diet Weight Loss Workbook\u201d (Oxmoor House)<\/li>\n
  3. You On a Diet: The Owner\u2019s Manual for Waist Management,\u201d by Dr. Michael F. Roizen of the Cleveland Clinic and Dr. Mehmet C. Oz of Columbia University (Free Press)<\/li>\n
  4. The Instinct Diet: Use Your Five Food Instincts to Lose Weight and Keep It Off,\u201d by Susan B. Roberts and Betty Kelly Sargent<\/li>\n
  5. Ending the Food Fight: Guide Your Children to a Healthy Weight in a Fast Food\/Fake Food World\u201d (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Not interested in a hard-copy book?\u00a0 There are some very good e-books out there too.\u00a0 Check out Paul’s reviews of “Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle<\/a>” by Tom Venuto or “Fat Loss Revealed<\/a>” by Will Brink.\u00a0 And – if you’re willing to be a little extra-patient, a revised and updated version of Paul’s own book, “The Ultimate Fat Burning Diet Primer” will be making its debut early in 2009.<\/p>\n

    So forget gimmicky or unhealthy diets – there are better options available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
