My Review:
I thought this was interesting way to approach weight loss and could be applied to other things in life as well. And she says that it is not a new diet but rather a new way of thinking and living. The main point that I took away from the whole book is to live in today not the past or future. What you can control is choosing the best actions today. If you have a set back or feel like you failed leave it there and know that tomorrow is a new day. You have to decide right now that you are in this to make a permanent change and change your mind set. Progress is not made in huge steps but achieved in bite size successes according to the author. She also says that perpetual progress is what moves you toward permanent accomplishments.

There are three main levels which include faith, food, and fitness. The first part of the book focuses on making the change and setting the foundation. Then there are chapters dealing with the three main levels. She makes a big deal of how faith is not religion for this. It is the firm belief in something that has not been proven beyond all doubt. She also refers to it as the electricity that powers the work you are doing on yourself. You can't see it but can feel its effects.

I really liked this book and will be passing it on to my family members. Even if you do not use it for weight loss there are some great ideas in it for life. Recommended.
