Book Description

March 15, 2011
THE ONLY “DIET” PLAN YOU WILL EVER NEED!

No deprivation, no struggles.

Just ten small changes that will transform your life.

Keri Gans, spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association, shares her simple plan for weight-loss success that lasts a lifetime. The Small Change Diet isn’t about creating unrealistic, unsustainable rules—like counting calories, restricting choices, or eliminating entire food groups. It’s about turning smart habits into second nature.

When it comes to achieving healthy, continued weight loss, the smallest adjustments often make the biggest impact. The key is mastering one new habit before expecting yourself to tackle another. Keri breaks each of the plan’s ten easy steps into even smaller, more manageable solutions. The best part is that you decide what to focus on and when you’re ready to move on. Take your time! Once you’ve made all ten changes, you’ll be healthier and thinner—for good!

A Diet for everyone March 20, 2011
By SenoraG
Format:Paperback
We have all tried to lose weight only to give up or gain it all back. This book will help you turn that cycle around. I don't normally read "diet" books because I fail on every one. For some reason The Small Change Diet jumped out at me and begged me to read it so I did and boy am I glad.

Keri makes it so easy. No pressure, no stress just great tips on how to change the way you eat, sleep, exercise and basically live you life. You take this book one step at a time, there is no time limit for finishing each step. A definite go at your own pace lifestyle change. I don't want to say diet because for me it was more about changing your lifestyle then just what you eat. If you rush through the steps you are only cheating yourself so I agree with Keri, take it slow and don't move on until you have mastered each one.

The book is based on these ten steps:

1. Create a healthy eating schedule
2. Eat more fruits and vegetables
3. Cut empty beverage calories
4. Increase fiber intake
5. Reduce the undercover calories of dressing and sauces
6. Eat leaner meats
7. Find the right fats and lose the bad fats
8. Curb sugar and salt cravings
9. Stay healthy in social situations
10. Exercise

Keri breaks each step down in a chapter with very easy and honestly small changes that really do work. This is one "diet" book that will truly help you make the changes that you want to make with very little effort. I am the newest fan of Keri Gans!!!

Recommended for anyone who wants to lose weight once and for all or just live a healthier life.

By Gina D.
Format:Paperback
Over the years I have learned that a common sense approach to most most things in life usually work out the best and Keri's book is loaded with common sense! I have been lucky enough to have Keri as my nutritionist for the past 2 years and in making these SMALL changes, I have had a BIG weight loss (60 lbs). For anyone who has lost weight (like me) only to regain it back (100% of the time) this book is for you. These small changes that Keri has written about, and I have incorporated in to my life, will not only help you in losing weight, but more importatly, it will lead you onto a path of a long lasting healthy lifestyle that you will be able to maintain for the rest of your life.

If you can't have Keri as a nutritionist, then this book is the next best thing. Try it, you may just discovered, like I did, that simple, common sense small changes truly make for a successful weight loss outcome.

Having worked with Keri in Manhattan in person (and successfully losing 12+lbs) I was eager to read her book and enjoy a refresher as I continue my journey. The book is set up in much the same way her in-person counseling is, in small and attainable 'chunks'. Take little things and change them, don't try to do everything at once. Anyone who has ever tried to lose weight and has been successful knows that this (small changes!!) along with NON-DEPRIVATION is the key to life-long weight loss, allowing you to keep it off instead of gaining it back (plus some usually...) on a fad or restrictive diet. Pasta isn't evil, carbs won't kill you and you don't need to drink juice and skip solid food in order to get a svelte figure. The book works. The 'plan' is plain and simple, it's just like sitting in Keri's office if you can't make it into Manhattan. So I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to spark a true life change (that isn't so scary if you break it down the way Keri does!) and keep the weight off (as I have for two years now). Finally, as someone who eats out almost as much as Keri (up to 5 times per week in Manhattan) the tips for eating out DO WORK. I enjoy everything I could ever desire at a restaurant many, many times in a week and still maintain a slim figure using her tips.
