​"This is not just a book for the person desiring weight loss, this is terrific 
handbook for professional nutritionists and weight loss consultants to use 
with their clients. It offers a step-by-step approach to living and eating 
in the real world." ~ Susan Hargrove, RD 

If you've spent a good portion of your life restricting yourself from eating the foods you love in attempt to lose weight to only find yourself heavier than ever, then this book is for you. Just like one-size-fits-all diets don't work, neither do one-size-fits-all diet books.  

Eat Like a Normal Person: Your Guide to Real World Solutions for Healthy Living is created for the person who is ready to put an end to chronic dieting. This book does not tell you how to eat, rather it guides you on how to make sustainable changes through ten critical chapters. You will use your Three Keys: health, lifestyle challenges and food preferences to help you assess why you are struggling to meet your goals and use that information to create a plan for sustainable success.


FROM THE AUTHOR:

When I was 12, I began my first diet. I did really well. I ate cottage cheese for breakfast, canned tuna for lunch and chicken breast baked in tomato juice with steamed vegetables for dinner. I even brought my own container of cottage cheese to a sleepover. What willpower I had! The weight came off, but, as you can imagine, it came back even quicker. That started the roller coaster of chronic dieting. 

I was obsessed with losing weight. Out of desperation, I bought over the counter "diet" pills. Thinking the more I took the more effective they would be, I took a bunch at one time. The next thing I remember was waking up many hours later completely out of it. It was very scary. There were times when I would sleep in my tightest pair of jeans as a punishment for not being able to fit into them. That was meant to be my motivation. 

When I went to college the pounds really started to pack on. I gained 10 pounds in my freshman year and then 10 pounds every year thereafter, maxing out close to 200 pounds. After college, I took a trip to Europe with some friends and remember being anxious to come home. I was uncomfortable and desperate to lose the weight once and for all. 

A friend recommended a nutritionist who provided me with a balanced healthy eating plan. It was a slow process, but I finally lost the weight I had been dreaming about. I was frightened. It had come back so many times before, how would I prevent that from happening again? Being in my 20s and looking for a career, I decided to take a graduate course in nutrition. I was hooked. I figured that if this were my profession, I would have no choice but to maintain the weight loss. Of course, my weight has fluctuated a few pounds here and there, but what I have mastered is how to maintain my weight without feeling like I have to be on a diet.

I have found the formula that works to eat healthfully without feeling restricted from the foods I enjoy. My vocabulary no longer consists of labeling foods as "bad" and "good." I decide what I am going to eat rather than following a diet script. 

This book was developed to help you create your perfect plan for life as I have for myself. I have worked with thousands of people for the past twenty plus years guiding them on the fundamental steps necessary to make sustainable changes. What I have learned over these years is that each step is critical in making a plan to move forward. Following a cookie-cutter diet like I did is a short-term solution to a long-term problem. If your goal is to see the number on the scale go down, you must uncover the underlying reasons why that number is there in the first place. It is a process but once you do, the scale will respond in your favor. 
Utilizing Laying the Groundwork and Behavior Modification strategies from previous chapters will help you conquer your cravings.
