Lose Weight with the Power of One: A Motivational Journey To Nutritional Sanity is a diet book unlike virtually any other. It opens on a simple premise... all diets fail. Some diets are based on myths (such as the "food combining diet") or even bad nutrition, and are certain to be harmful. Some diets are nutritionally sound on paper, but they effectively tell the dieter what to eat and when, according to someone else's rules - and human nature, complete with its changeable tastes, cravings, and moods, will sooner or later resist the morass of tangled rules and regulations. Instead of providing the reader with a meticulous eating plan, Lose Weight with the Power of One offers eight basic strategies for healthier eating, such as "reduce one's daily fat intake as low as possible", "eat breakfast", "do not bring factory made snacks, meals, or refined products into the home - use foods that are as close to natural as possible", and "stop eating when you are approaching feeling full". These simple tenets can promote a nutritional lifestyle revolution. Each principle, and the reasons behind it, is explained in-depth in a dialogue format that almost resembles reading a novel. In a world horribly over saturated with fad diets that ignore the basic needs and nature of the body, Lose Weight with the Power of One is an absolute "must-read" for anyone striving to make permanent, positive changes in their eating and health habits.

Lose Weight with The Power of One is a highly effective weight-loss-specific tool that is being used by Personal Trainers to increase their clients' success rate. This unique weight-loss guide not only teaches the basics of weight management, but more importantly, MOTIVATES the client into adopting a new nutritional lifestyle, one that complements each clients' tastes, cravings, and ethnicity. This is not a diet book. And that is why Trainers across the US are now making it REQUIRED READING for all clients with weight issues. By discussing the book's eight simple strategies during the training session, Trainers are improving their clients' nutritional lives, expanding their own effectiveness, and enhancing the clients' fitness/nutrition experience. Trainers: Lose Weight with The Power of One is not only a must read for your clients. It is also the doorway to the complete Personal Trainer Package.

I wish I had thought of this concept. It's brilliant to share weight loss strategies through the tale of one woman who real woman can relate to.

Readers (male or female) will be inspired by this womans journey. She is not perfect, she has fears, she has obstacles, she has set backs and she also has hope, determination and ultimately success. You are routing for her every step of the way as you are relating to her challenges and victories.

When my clients read the the 8 simple strategies they have "ah ha" moments where things begin to click and they believe in thier ability to follow the suggestions and make postive changes.

I read the entire book on a round trip plane trip from Newark to Utah. I could not put it down. I recommend this book for all of my clients who are struggling with living a healthful lifestyle. I am currently working with 4 clients who have over 100 pounds to lose and have recommended it to each of them. Several have read it more than once.

Read this book if you want an enlighten tale with real life strategies that work.

I did not like this book at all. It is reminds me of an infomercial. The back and forth manner between the three main characters gets old very quickly.I would not recommend it to anyone.

Fabulous, Fabulous, Fabulous! Written in everyday English and makes perfect sense. Nothing changes in a day but building a life to nutritional sanity by doing the new focus day after day builds new habits and changes lives.

This book may have been around for awhile but it was new to me and truly impressionable and enjoyable.

I am a Exercise Physiologist with my Master's in sports conditioning and performance and cert. through ASCM - with that I have taken many nutrition/healthy lifestyle class. And this book is THE BEST!! Real life nutrition made easy! Way easy to read - great story - with great healthy style tips all over it! I make all my weight lose clients read it!

I was looking for a motivational book to help me lose weight. Like many, I knew that a healthy diet and exercise was needed to lose weight and be healthy. I just needed the motivation to get me on this road to health and weight loss. This was the book that made the difference. I wish Stephen Moss would write more novels like this. This book was the turning point in my lifelong battle to be healthy and lose weight!

This is an excellent book for self help. It teaches that diets do not work. But we can make small changes in our lifestyles that can create the effect we want whether that is losing weight and regaining health or discovering what we really want in life. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants more out of their life and doesn't know how to get it. This book will help get you where you want to be.

This is a great book on controlling one's weight and health and it's in the form of a novel with dialogue and a variety of choices that can be applied to different people in different situations.

It's a welcomed and needed remedy away from the constant "fad" money-making weight/diet/nutrition programs that we've been bombarded with over the last few years. Not only will "The Power of One" help you lose the weight you've always wanted to lose, but it'll help you take back control of your life.

I am very impressed with this book. I am a registered dietitian and am so tired of reading books about fad diets. This one reads like a novel and lays out some great information that could be helpful to a variety of clients. It is on my must read book list for my clients!
