Editorial Reviews

Review

"More than ninety percent of my patients gain back most of the weight they lose. Why so little success? The simple answer is that the average person can't stay on a diet permanently. But "this" program is different. It is not a diet, but a complete lifestyle, thought-process, and physiological transformation. The change comes from within, helping to make you a better person...not just a thinner person."
-Barry S. Ross, MD, Tamarac, Florida
""Never Say Diet" provides a systematic approach to living a healthier, more balanced life. The food list that Chantel Hobbs presents is nutritious and, most important, enjoyable. "Never Say Diet" proves that fad diets don't work and cannot substitute for creating a lifestyle that leads to attaining your goals."
-Lon Ben-Asher, MS, LD/N, registered dietician, North Shore Medical Center, Miami, Florida
"The importance of Chantel's story can't be calculated in terms of burned calories or lost pounds, and it's not her dramatic weight loss that makes her such a special person. It's her willingness to credit God's ability to totally transform lives. She reminds us that lasting change has to happen on the inside before it can happen on the outside, and that this change is within reach of anyone who's willing to seize it."
-Bob Coy, pastor of Calvary Chapel, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
"You might be able to lose a few pounds with a crash diet, but it's temporary. That's why diets don't work for people who need to lose a lot of weight. Instead of going on a diet, you need to make a lifestyle change. In fact, you must undergo a 'brain change.' "Never Say Diet" delivers just that."
-Joseph Tedesco, DPT, ATC, CSCS, physical therapist, Elite Physical Therapy, Charlotte, North Carolina

5.0 out of 5 stars This author inspires, January 8, 2008
Chantel Hobbs started her fight with obesity when she was 11 years old. Realizing that she was different from other children because she was bigger than them, she endeavored to lose her excess weight through dieting. But these diets did not help her in her fight.

At age 21 she married her high school sweetheart, and six months later she was pregnant with their first child. During this time, she did not concern herself with her weight issues. Even though inside she was feeling ugly and helpless, to the world she showed a self-confident and strong Chantal Hobbs. It was not until she had her third child and was at 349 pounds that Chantel hit bottom. She realized that she needed to change and that no diet in the world could help her.

She heard God's voice reminding her to be the best that she could be. Hence, that day she decided that she will start to take care of her body and health. With the help of God, her husband Keith, and her family and friends, she started a way of life that enabled her to lose weight. Today she is more than 200 pounds lighter and still keeping it off.

Chantel Hobbs book is very enlightening. For those fighting obesity, dieting is not always the answer. Dieting lasts for a month or two and then it is back to the same routine of eating unhealthy food. Chantel encourages her readers to change their way of thinking so that the desire to live life to the fullest is the foremost desire. She has introduced a winning combination of healthy eating and exercising designed to decrease the weight and to keep it off.

Her book also offers five phases that a person losing weight goes through, which I found extremely helpful. The phases also have routine exercises that are designed to lose weight, and the pictures make it easier to do them.

Reading her story and her struggles with weight will give many readers hope about their own weight issues. Her helpful points and ideas will encourage readers to step out and change their way of thinking so that they can achieve the results that Chantel got!

Armchair Interviews says: This is a must read for those struggling with their weight and those who are disappointed with diets and their poor results!

5.0 out of 5 stars Change, for the better --now and forever, December 26, 2007
By Tropical Florida (Miami, FL USA) - See all my reviews
Chantel's story was motivating and also life changing. After following her easy-to-understand program, I now see that losing weight is more about my approach to food and self, than just calories. After reading, I now see how I can and will be a big loser--forever. Thank you Chantel for writing this must read book.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT BOOK, February 27, 2008
By kelly hopkins (Alpharetta, GA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book was awesome!!! I read this book in 2 days in December when it came out. I started phase 1 then which is just exercising for 30 days no food changes. I started phase II Jan 7 and have lost 25 lbs so far. It is so inspiring, I felt like I was reading about my own life and every excuse I've ever used as to why I dont have time to exercise or eat right and As a single mom I had plenty of time excuses. Now I workout at 4am and actually get to eat real food 5 times a day. This book really helps you figure out how to find your individual problems concerning food issues and weight issues. And the food journal led me to the epiphany as to why I (THOUGHT) I was doing it right the many times before and why I failed in the past. It was so motivational and inspiring. I'm now on a new path with new goals and small triumphs along the way. Thanks Chantel!!!
