Review :
When you hear of a diet book, you know the formula: What you're doing is wrong, here's how to fix it, here's how to track it, here's who did amazing following this process. The steps and tactics are often different, but the process of a standard diet book is similar. Galina tilts that standard on its side. She doesn't start with tools and tactics-this book starts with the end in mind. Can you visualize how you want to look? Can you call that image to your mind at will, whenever you're feeling weak? Ok, great. Then how can you live to become more like the positive, supporting image you've brought to mind? That's Galina's paradigm-and it's awesome to see a "diet" book start from a place of inspiration, not condemnation. Balancing between the science and the success-Galina presents her model and proves how it can work by not focusing on food, but on why people choose certain foods. And how they choose to satiate themselves to a natural limit, not focused on calorie counts or colors on the plate. What we eat literally becomes who we are-our bodies can only thrive so long on cheese puffs. But understanding what we value through our bodies-and what success truly means through food (from an internal, not external expectation) sets the stage for a more lasting change. Galina's book has this final recommendation: Pay attention and honor yourself. That's what this entire work is centered around-it's not a get thin quick scheme, it's a slow, systemic return to being healthy and fit. Travis S. Collier Author: Refuse to Settle, Recognize What Matters, Redefine Success Are you ready to completely change the way you think about dieting? Are you ready for a fresh approach that will also have positive ripples in the rest of your life? Then read this book! Galina Knopman's Every Time I Diet, I Gain Five Pounds introduces her easy-to-understand VPS method (Visualize Personal Success) and complements it with stories of people who have successfully followed it to achieve the lives they always dreamed. An added bonus is the series of short explanations of how the brain works to support or sabotage our goals. Written in a highly personal and humorous style, Every Time I Diet provides positive and compassionate guidance on changing your story about dieting and moving into your version of personal success. Teresa Wedding Kloster Executive and Leadership Coach Co-Author: Anytime Coaching-Unleashing Employee Performance Galina Knopman's premise rings completely true in my weight-loss experience: that to change your body requires changing your thinking, increasing your self-awareness, and formulating a long-term vision. This is a very different approach - note the absence of emphasis on diet or exercise - but it's the only one that's worked for me. Michael Kahn Personal Success Story I thought this book was excellent. As a registered dietitian, I work with clients who are trying to make major behavioral changes, and I think Galina Knopman's book is an excellent tool to help motivate them toward their goal. It is so important that she consistently addresses what is going on in your brain when we act a certain way. She also talks a lot about how environment plays such a big role in our habits (what we eat and otherwise). These discussions and explanations help to take away a lot of the self-shaming we all tend to do, but also leaves you with a sense of empowerment that you can change. The writing was as impressive as the content and I also found myself laughing often. I learned a lot about myself from reading the book and doing the self-assessments. I think the book is realistic and motivating and I highly recommend it to anyone who is trying to make an important change in their life. Raina Goldstein Registered Dietician (RD)
