       About the Publisher

      This book is meant for chronic dieters. I am not a medical professional, and if you are engaging in any extreme restrictive eating or self-harm, you must seek professional medical help. This book cannot stand in for eating disorder treatment and is not meant to treat any physical or mental conditions.

      I will share the work of many doctors, nutritionists, and weight and metabolism scientists to help assure you that I am not a lone, crazy brownie eater, out to ruin your health and happiness . . . but, again, I’m not a doctor. This book isn’t medical advice. Okay. You get it. Moving on.

      If you’ve read as many diet books as I have, maybe you’ve noticed how similar the introductions are. It’s normally a sensationalized promise that this is the diet you’ve been waiting for. And it goes a little something like this:

      INTRODUCTION TO THE DIET YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR

      You’ve been going from diet to diet, and nothing has worked, you’re still worthless and ugly fat and unhealthy. But now with this groundbreaking and ancient way of eating, you finally have a proven, scientific, and simple plan to unlock all of your dreams of being beautiful and loved fit and healthy.

       The best part is this: if you follow the plan exactly the way we have laid it out in this book, you will never crave food ever again! Ever! No more food cravings.

      Take it from me, craving food should not have to be a part of your life.

      All of those other diets you’ve tried in the past didn’t work because you weren’t eating the right kinds of foods in the right amounts. Of course they didn’t work.

      Well, with our program, your body will begin to work so well that you’ll never think about food again.

      This isn’t a diet, it’s a way of life.
