Welcome to the No-Fad Diet
There are the tools you need to personalize a weight-loss plan to fit your lifestyle most anywhere on the web, for example, the American Heart Association. You can design your own approach using three key concepts, or what we call the Circles of Success.
To lose weight effectively, you need to set realistic goals and create a personal action plan. Your planning should focus on you, your commitment to yourself, and the three essential circles — think smart, eat well and move more. These circles will overlap as you work toward your goals, and you will need to embrace all three to achieve successful weight control for life.
Because your choices are tailored to reflect your individual needs, the actions you take to follow through will be suited to become part of your new life. It won’t happen overnight, but if you persist, it will happen! Any step you take in the right direction — no matter how small — moves you closer to your weight-loss goals and a healthier life.
“Let this book be your guide and the American Heart Association be your partner on your journey to losing weight — and keeping if off — realistically, healthfully, and successfully for years to come. Do it for you, and encourage those you love to join you. Years of added life may well be the outcome!”
