Diet Advocate

I don’t buy diet books, I don’t believe in depriving myself or regimenting my diet and I was able to be a size 00 up until my 28th-29th birthday, give or take. Alas, I moved countries and picked a few bad eating habits along the way, 10 years later I’m flirting my way to a size 12 and I started wondering if the weight gain was ever going to stop. I knew there had to be a way to bake my cake (I’m a cook) and eat it, I just refused to think that if I wanted to be slim again I should forever ration, scrutinize, divide my food and worse: say goodbye to a list of foods and ingredients. Well, I found the way: the NoS Diet. If I tell you that I have been eating this way until I moved countries and started gaining weight and that there is plenty of people that eat this way, you’ll think there’s something wrong either with me or with the book, I mean: isn’t this a diet book?. Yes and no; it is a diet book in the sense that by reading it and following it’s premise, you’ll lose weight and even better, you’ll keep it off; it’s not a diet book because there is no regime here, no menus, no recipes, no restrictions, no magic formula; this is a book that will tell you in a concise and precise way how is that your skinny friend manages to be skinny even though she has never dieted, how come those people in the ’70s were all so skinny, how come ,even, is that you used to be thin once upon a time, like in my case. This is a book about good habits and moderation, how to learn them or re-learn them and more importantly: how to keep remembering those good habits and keep them up for the rest of your life.
