Your Designer Diet

Background

Todd Huff had trouble managing his weight for most of his life but was finally able to lose over 100 pounds and keep it off by following some simple strategies.

Huff says that diets don’t work because they are someone else’s idea of the correct way to lose weight, which may not necessarily be right for you. In his book, Your Designer Diet, he shares what he has learned about dieting and helps you to develop a plan that is designed uniquely to suit your body and your lifestyle.

Designer Diet Basics

Your Designer Diet is not a typical structured diet plan but rather teaches you how to lose weight by paying attention to the different areas of your life. You will learn to control the behavioral and emotional reactions that may be triggering weight gain, experiment with different ways to improve your eating habits and discover more about the techniques that work best for you.

According to Huff there is no single problem that has caused you to be overweight, which means that there is also not just one single solution. To lose weight you need a  designer plan that takes into account your individuality and identifies your challenges, while emphasizing your strengths. The result is that you will be empowered to lose weight as you constantly improve your diet and lifestyle.

By using a simple step-by-step process you develop a designer diet plan that will allow you to lose weight as well as to maintain your ideal weight through following a healthy lifestyle. Instead of teaching you what to eat, Your Designer Diet gives you the information to explain why it has been so hard for you to stay on a diet in the past. You then are provided with strategies and positive skills that will help you to finally overcome the obstacles to successful weight loss.
