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!

Excellent, excellent book

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2017

Verified Purchase

Excellent, excellent book. The recommendations are so simple yet so profound, and doable! Packaging was superb, too, and the book arrived in perfect condition. Can't ask for more than that! [ UPDATE: This wonderful book is not a diet book. It is a HEALTH book. I was significantly under weight due to medical issues but THIS book showed me how to navigate all of that and improve my health. My doctor was very pleased and asked about the book. I hate that it's out of print. Amazon, can you fix that? Anyway, this is a GREAT book! ]

Some good ideas…

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2022

Verified Purchase

Good ideas but repetitive, also never mentions alternate dairy beverages. Soy, almond, oat etc. really pushes low fat and no fat alternatives which are generally filled with added sugar for flavor. A 3 ounce serving of fish isn’t going to satisfy anybody. Lol. Like I said some good ideas but nothing I haven’t read before multiple times. So. A grade of C+

So far I like the ideas and tips she has

Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2015

So far I like the ideas and tips she has. I like that it's a quick read and self paced. You work on one small change before moving on to the next. I don't like that she recommends diet soda over regular. Diet is poison from what I've read and it defeats the purpose of dieting. Diet sodas don't work. She does recommend flavored, unsweetened seltzer water over soda which is what I prefer. She's not as health conscious as I try to be but she has great ideas for building new and healthy habits. She also has the everything in moderation attitude which I like much better than the all or nothing attitude so many of us fall into. So, a small soda with real sugar and a small fries can be a special treat. A lot of it is common knowledge but it's that knowledge in action that will make a difference in one's health and she helps you transition into it so it's more of a daily habit.

Practical and Workable

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

As someone who has tried many approaches to losing weight and was daunted at the prospect of starting the process again, I found that this book has a real, common-sense approach that can be implemented without drastically changing everything all at once. This is not a book with a revolutionary, sure-fire way to lose weight. But those don't often work in the long haul any way. It does provide a format and a way of thinking about habits and life change that can work in the real world.

The perfect book for lasting weight loss

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2011

This book is amazing! I have personally lost over 25lb (and kept it off for 3 years!) with Keri's philosophies. This book aggregates all of her best advice. You will never feel like you are on a diet. It is a no-nonsense way to make small changes to YOUR lifestyle that will create long lasting and GREAT results. What other book tells you its OK to eat out and have pasta!?! It's amazing!!! Buy it now!!!

Outdated advice

Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2019

Verified Purchase

Well, that was super outdated. I thought it was going to be a book about habits, but it was fat-free 90s advice. I wish I could get my money back.

Get real.

These are common sense things you've probably heard thousands of times or are already doing, just not consistently. Hardly worth yet another diet book.

This book gives great tips and makes you think about what you are doing that could be changed. Even the slightest little thing to change can make a great impact in your overall life. This book was used in a weight loss class that I took, which really helped.

Excellent, well written, informative book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 2, 2018

Verified Purchase

I loved this book. It's such a refreshing change from all the fad diets out there at the moment. Rather than a 'quick fix' solution (which never is a solution!), it is a 'take your time', well informed plan to eat well for life and lose weight. It doesn't cut out any of the major food groups (hurrah!) and is written by an actual Registered Dietician, NOT some self titled 'nutritionist' which can be someone reasonably qualified OR someone who has done a short online course and professes to be an expert!
Great practical book that works!

Small changes really do make a big difference

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 16, 2012

Verified Purchase

This book can be applied to most peoples lives, but for me, it puts a stop to the quick fix diet and brings in a kinder approach to weight loss, with a healthy body, healthy mind approach. There is no doubt that by following these small changes, you will see changes in yourself and your body. It's easy to read this book and think that nothing significant has changed in you, but with repetition and giving yourself time to let each stage sink in, it really does work.
