      Note to the Reader

      The diet and weight loss industry is a billion dollar business. Every pill, powder, and gizmo on the market has consumers looking for a magic solution to weight loss. The truth is most of us know how to lose weight, but struggle to do so. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is more than physical. Mental, emotional and, even spiritual factors play a major influence.

      There is not enough room to include everything you should know about nutrition and weight loss. Consequently, Marquise Publishing has included references in Appendix 1 that have contributed to the information provided in this book if further information is needed.

      Introduction

      Was there ever a time in your life you were physically active on a consistent basis, ate a well balanced clean diet, felt an overall sense of well being?

      At one point in my life that was me (actually two years ago that was me). I injured my ankle and it prevented me from working out. I went into a deep depression and started on a 7 month junk food binge. After gaining a lot of weight I tried to get back to where I was before I hurt my ankle.

      Along with my hesitation to exercise, there is another set of factors I have to deal with. Emotionally, I have been struggling with bouts of insecurity and doubts about whether I can get motivated to make changes in my health as well as in my life.

      Mentally, I have all these responsibilities and worries that are taking space in my brain. This, in turn,
