"GET REAL" and STOP Dieting! - a New Book by Sheer Balance

Oct. 14, 2009 - PRLog -- Cambridge, Massachusetts – Adopting healthy eating habits is one of the most important personal choices we can make to better our health and well-being.  Many individuals, however, are overwhelmed and confused by what is and isn’t healthy, and worse, subject themselves to extreme or fad diets that are far from healthy, or for that matter… sustainable.  In her book, “GET REAL” and STOP Dieting!, Brett Blumenthal provides individuals with a practical, easy to implement plan to help individuals change behaviors to those that promote health for the long-term.

In 2008, only one state (Colorado) had an obesity rate of less than 20%. 32 states, however, had a rate equal to or greater than 25% (six of which had rates equal to or greater than 30%).  In Stacy Kennedy’s (MPH, RD, CSO, LDN) foreword, she comments that “for many, losing weight means dieting and dieting equals misery:  Full of restriction, bad tasting food, giving up the foods we love, and alienation from friends and family who eat “regular food.”  Today, more than ever, there’s a need to help individuals be healthier in a simple and easy-to-follow manner, all without feeling deprived.  Brett Blumenthal demystifies healthy eating with five “GET REAL” principles...founded in facts, not fads.  Her simple approach  is supplemented with The Get Real Toolkit, which makes implementing the principles easy and effective.  The result?  Individuals will automatically shed excess-pounds and, with surprising ease, maintain a healthy weight for a lifetime…without another day of dieting!
