Stop mindlessly inhaling the breadbasket and stop shoveling in the M&M'S–Bread is the Devil is the solution to all of our diet saboteurs.
Nutritionist Heather Bauer can count on the fingers of one hand the number of her clients who don't already know what they should eat to lose weight. So why can’t they (and their best friend and their neighbor) lose weight? Because Bread is the Devil! Yes, that's Bauer’s shorthand for the inevitable, demonic pull that certain bad habits exert on people who try to change their eating routines to drop the pounds. Many of us have been there: You had a sensible, healthy breakfast, high in protein with complex carbs. Ditto for lunch—soup and a salad with a warm rush of accomplishment and self control for dessert. But now it's dinnertime and you're out with friends: enter a large basket of warm, sliced, crusty sourdough bread with a little tub of chive butter. Suddenly you're in the seventh circle of hell—the one reserved for gluttons. Bread’s not your devil? How about ice cream or chips or that big slab of buttercream-frosted birthday cake?
Bread Is the Devil will help you fight those hellish cravings that stop you from losing the weight you want. By identifying how certain factors promote overeating, Heather will:
* Identify the top-ten Diet Devils that challenge healthy eating
* Provide specific, proven strategies that free you from these devils once and for all
* Offer up a simple, flexible guide that will help you reach your goal in twenty-one days and make eating fun again
* Suggest an easy, affordable, and doable shopping list for eating at home as well as great meal choices when eating out
Bread is the Devil will help you say good-bye to your devils, for good.

Over the last decade Heather has taught thousands of people how to safely lose weight and keep it off for good. Her success stories range from those working long hours on Wall Street, to doctors, lawyers, mothers, athletes and celebrities.
In 2008 Heather released her first book, The Wall Street Diet, a program designed especially for busy people that don't have time to diet. In Heather's second book, Bread Is the Devil, she provides time-tested strategies and a 21-day plan to help readers overcome common diet pitfalls, what Bauer refers to as "Diet Devils". Some of these Devils include "The Late Night Shuffle (for those midnight marauders that just can't stay out of the kitchen), "Road Hogging" (for travels who decide to put their healthy habits on hold when on the road) and "The Plunge" (for anyone that wonders where that whole sleeve of cookies went).
Heather sits on Cooking Light Magazine's Nutrition Advisory Board and has appeared on popular TV and Radio shows such as The CBS Early Show, CNN, The Tyra Banks Show, FOX Morning News and Martha Stuart Radio on SiriusXM. She has also been a featured nutritionist in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Self Magazine, In Touch, InStyle, Shape, Gotham Magazine and Ladies Home Journal.

She lives in Connecticut with her husband, daughter and twin boys. When she's not chasing after her children, she's usually out running.
Heather Bauer's book is a must-have for anyone with wellness or weight loss goals! I've bought copies for everyone in my family. She so clearly and simply lays out what you should do to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle. Love her categories...I relate to most of them, esp the "little devils." Her suggestions and tips are realistic and easy to follow. And she is so realistic BUT enables you to get results. I already have, thanks to Heather Bauer. We all need this book! It even makes you laugh because it's all so easy to relate to. Love it.
BREAD IS THE DEVIL is just like a private appointment with Heather Bauer. I'm Lucky because I get to see Heather in person, and she has helped turn my life around. I lost 70 pounds in one year, and I've kept it off. It's not about counting calories or denying yourself your favorite foods or a relentless regiment or extreme anything. That never worked for me. I needed easy. It is about knowing your own Diet Devils and dealing with them. It is not about giving up on foods you like, but about knowing their impact and when you can afford to have them. It's not that you can never have bread. I only have it when it is part of something I really like, a Really Great Bacon Cheeseburger or Pizza, and I only need to do that a couple of times in a month. And chocolate. I'm a chocoholic, and I used to get chocolate through ice cream. Not worth it. I now enjoy sampling high quality, high cocoa content dark chocolate with some fresh fruit. A candy bar that would've lasted 4 seconds now lasts 4 days. And then there's FREE foods. I can count on FREE healthy foods (greens, fresh vegetables) to fill me up. My eating habits have been transformed for life. My taste buds have even improved. I enjoy good food whereas I used to just consume it, whether I am eating out or cooking at home. What drove me to do this? Surprisingly (to me) it was not vanity. It was my health. I tested positive for diabetes and knew I had to do something to lose weight. With Heather's help, I did it. Diabetes gone. Other Benefits: At 54, I'm able to wear some of the classic suits I bought when I was 30, and people notice!
Heather is amazing! Not only does she understand food and how it can affect us, what I love about Heather the most is that all of her strategies are completely REASONABLE, REALISTIC and SMART. Everyone is different and a way of eating may work for one person and not work for another because we all have different triggers that halt us or knock us off track. Heather is able to ID those things so that you can understand what it is, why it happens and what you can do to get through those bad days or challenging moments. I have worked with Heather for 5 years and she knows what she is talking about! Her book is my bible and should be yours as well.
Yes, I agree, it's a great book and I think it will help me. My Devils are Late-Night Snacking & Eating While Bored, and not knowing what's the best thing to order when dining out. She addresses all of these! And gives super-helpful tips!
