Book Description

November 2003
Eat Chocolate and still lose weight? Your Final Diet teaches us to manage carbs, fats, and sugar to prevent bingeing and deprivation. Dr. Aronowitz discusses how to end diet mania in overweight America by describing what to eat and how to cope, in order to gain control. She also talks about ways of beginning to change our cultural obsession with thinness.

Delicious brand names of "healthy junk foods" are recommended which are all natural and/or rich in whole grains. One never goes "off a diet" to have junk foods, they simply become incorporated into a personalized plan. For instance, a good breakfast might include a Van's whole grain waffle with all natural ice-cream, because it offers fiber, calcium, protein, and a bit of sugar to boost energy. Chocolate covered soy nuts, all natural chips, cookies, and other sweets are recommended as major food sources to be incorporated into a weekly caloric allotment. This system offers freedom with control.

Your Final Diet addresses psychological concerns of teenage girls and women. It's hard to feel sexy when hating your body, so this dilemma is discussed in a manner appropriate for teens as well as women. Moms will also learn how to become good role models for their daughters, with improved eating habits and body image. Teens will find ways of overcoming pressure to be unnaturally thin.

The philosophy in this book was created by combining a wealth of experience personally and professionally, as well as integrating the best ideas from feminist writings and scholarly research. Your Final Diet helps us to become our personal best...and stay there by living a relatively healthy lifestyle, and not being miserable with the results. It offers inner peace, where well adjusted, secure feelings replace highs and lows of failed diets. Your Final Diet is a quick read, and imparts practicalinformation with a lighthearted, humorous style. Endorsed by Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.


Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is fabulous!" -- Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton

From the Author

How many of us are obsessed with food, fat, weight, carbs, fats, calories, cellulite, scales, and disgust for our bodies? Most of us, I dare say. Has all of this obsessing and experimentation with diets du jour helped us to become thin and beautiful? Maybe for a minute!

Powerful and influential research recently found that sugar and fat relieve chronic stress on a biological level. Chocolate cake and ice cream simply shut down the stress system, bringing relief and relaxation. Therefore, we must learn how to manage the foods we crave instead of overindulging or depriving ourselves.

It's time to find a unique, personal, individualized food plan designed to find your ideal weight, and stay there....forever. It's time to stop denigrating ourselves, and replace criticism with self acceptance and peace of mind.

It is important to fight this battle on several fronts. We need to address what to consume, as well as how to cope with emotional eating. It is also important to begin changing the cultural thin ideal, which creates a sense of personal inferiority, upon which the billion dollar diet industry thrives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous and highly recommended, December 6, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Your Final Diet (Paperback)
Your Final Diet IS fabulous! Finally, a book that tells you how to stop the crazy cycle of endless diets. This book is an absolute must-read for anyone who is thinking of going on a diet, on a diet, or just struggling with weight and body image. This book is like really inexpensive therapy! Dr. Aronowitz's style is conversational and witty and the book is full of good, practical advice and insights. One of the best parts of the book is her list of healthy junk foods. These ARE wonderful (and, better yet, they're guilt free.) Your Final Diet is a tremendous book, an entertaining read and truly a blessing for the weight and diet-obsessed among us.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "Must Read" for Losing Weight, February 6, 2004
By 
This review is from: Your Final Diet (Paperback)
As a 36-year veteran of the health and fitness industry, I was delighted to see this book. It is a down-to-earth, commonsense approach to losing weight without eliminating any of the essential food groups. It does not prohibit the consumption of your favorite foods but, rather, it stresses the inclusion of "healthy junk foods" in your diet. After all, taste counts! Is it any wonder that so many weight loss programs fail when they taste so bland!?!

This is a "must read" for anyone who has been struggling with weight. Your Final Diet is, indeed, the last word in weight loss without all the gimicks, without having to buy special foods, and without starving.

5.0 out of 5 stars A relief to find logic and rational thinking about weight and diet, January 20, 2009

This review is from: Your Final Diet (Paperback)
Your Final Diet I discovered this book because I read an article by the author, Dr. Abby Aronowitz, PhD in the magazine "Going Bonkers." I liked the article so much I got the book, and I was not disappointed. Dr. Aronowitz works with eating disorder patients, and it's easy to see why her sound, reasonable advice works. Every weight-obsessed woman should read this book. It's very helpful and practical, breaking healthy eating down to a system that's easy to understand, with explanations of why sugar is better for your weight than sweeteners, and how to deal with uncontrolled cravings. I'm currently working with a nutritionist, and Dr. Abby's views are consistent with what I'm learning, and give a very helpful look at the issues from a different angle. This is just a simple, clear, cogent and helpful book, more about a philosophy of eating that you can live with, and not really about dieting.
