About the Book
An astonishing number of people throughout the world are unhappy with their weight, health, and energy level. While many see a change in diet as their solution, and guidance is readily available from a host of books and experts, why is it so often said that diets don't work? In his book, Diet Success Strategies, author Alan Aronoff explains that diets often don't work because people don't stay on them long enough to see results, and more importantly, create new eating habits. This in-depth yet straightforward book reveals that people often fail to sustain a change in diet because their efforts are based solely on self-discipline. The author suggests a new, far more effective approachthe creation of a personal Diet Management System based on strategies. With 67 monthly, weekly, daily, and even hourly strategies provided, the vast majority of people can find solutions that meet their needs, schedules, and goals.
About the Author :
Alan Aronoff is the author of Diet Success Strategies: 67 Ways to Take Control of Your Food and Your Life. After graduating from Monmouth College with a degree in sociology, he spent several years as a U.S. Army officer. His passion for business and marketing led to a decade in corporate sales, followed by the founding of the national background-check company U.S. Information Search, where he is currently the CEO. After a life-altering kidney transplant in 2005, he awoke one morning with an overwhelming feeling of gratitude. He realized that he was alive as a result of an altruistic gift and modern medicine. In that moment, he became determined to help others. He took his thirty years of study in the fields of diet and personal development and, through writing, speaking, and coaching, help others find lasting solutions to their life challenges.
Review :
A guidebook to healthy strategies offers more than just advice on diet and nutrition. Aronoff offers a workbook with principles, examples and exercises that ask the reader to tailor ideas to his or her own life. He takes a balanced, bottom-up approach to the issue of diet and offers strategies for a lifestyle change that involves renovating relationships, perspective, work/life balance and many other life categories. Though the book is designed as a series of chapters that ultimately offer 67 separate strategies, its main chapters are organized by daily, weekly and monthly strategies. Short- and long-term goals as well as major and minor changes are situated in appropriate chapters as a part of a greater action-plan. For instance, a monthly strategy might entail developing a personal relationship with a friend or family member so that the relationship does not drag the reader back into familiar habits. A daily strategy, on the other hand, might consist of proper planning to avoid off-diet foods or bouts of hunger.
Perhaps what makes the book so strong is its focus on action rather than ideas or information. Aronoff encourages the reader to toss out those strategies that do not mesh well with his or her lifestyle and to adopt the ones that do. The book works with the reader to find highly personalized solutions to individual challenges. The voice rings clear, objectively and empathetically handling concrete struggles as well as more abstract mental challenges such as the search for greater needs through food. While most of the strategies do not deviate from the larger principles delivered at the beginning of the book, the voice keeps the chapters fresh, engaging and never preachy.
A solid, helpful book full of solutions rather than gimmicks, and a voice that sticks long after the last page. - Kirkus Reviews
