Chapter 12: Questions and answers
Excerpt from the book:
“Why is this book different?
First, the book treats the causes of overeating. Most other diets treat only the superficial symptom of excess weight. You do not want to lose weight again. You want to lose weight permanently. By simply and gently attacking the cause of ovreating, you permanently solve the problem of excess weight. Our strategy is time-tested and proven. You will lose weight permanently—simply and gently.”
“Second, this way is simple. We take all of the mystery out of eating normally, like slim people. You will truly be enjoying eating, and at the same time achieve your optimum health and most beautiful body. And you will do this without scales, calorie-or fat-gram counting, complicated food combining, or fanatical exercise regimens. The best part is that you are already know how to eat, according to The Seven Secrets, without realizing it. This method is natural and automatic—you just need a refresher course.”
“Third, this approach gives you total freedom. Diets give you restictive rules that may help you temporarily lose weight, so long as you continue to restrict your eating according to the diet. At some point, though (when you lose the weight or when the diet fails), you always go off the diet. However, this approach gives you permanent weight loss without any restrictive eating. There’s no diet to “go off of”. This method not only permanently frees you from your excess weight, but also frees you to enjoy eating whatever you want.”
