From the publisher

Stop mindlessly inhaling the breadbasket and stop shoveling in the M&M'S-Bread is the Devil is the solution to all of our diet saboteurs.

Nutritionist Heather Bauer can count on the fingers of one hand the number of her clients who don't already know what they should eat to lose weight. So why can't they (and their best friend and their neighbor) lose weight? Because Bread is the Devil! Yes, that's Bauer's shorthand for the inevitable, demonic pull that certain bad habits exert on people who try to change their eating routines to drop the pounds. Many of us have been there: You had a sensible, healthy breakfast, high in protein with complex carbs. Ditto for lunch-soup and a salad with a warm rush of accomplishment and self control for dessert. But now it's dinnertime and you're out with friends: enter a large basket of warm, sliced, crusty sourdough bread with a little tub of chive butter. Suddenly you're in the seventh circle of hell-the one reserved for gluttons. Bread's not your devil? How about ice cream or chips or that big slab of buttercream-frosted birthday cake?

Bread Is the Devil will help you fight those hellish cravings that stop you from losing the weight you want. By identifying how certain factors promote overeating, Heather will:

* Identify the top-ten Diet Devils that challenge healthy eating

* Provide specific, proven strategies that free you from these devils once and for all

* Offer up a simple, flexible guide that will help you reach your goal in twenty-one days and make eating fun again

* Suggest an easy, affordable, and doable shopping list for eating at home as well as great meal choices when eating out

Bread is the Devil will help you say good-bye to your devils, for good.

From the rear cover

Do you suffer from:

The Free-Style Devil? Do you diet without a plan, a set of recovery strategies, and a real achievable goal?

The Plunge? Do you slip from your diet and just keep on slipping?

The Late-Night Devil? Do you just have to check what's in the fridge before you retire for the night? Is your evening incomplete if it doesn't involve some mindless munching in front of the tube or a series of bedtime snacks?

Emotional Eating? Do your feelings trigger your eating habits?

Little Devils? Do you find yourself eating your little kids' leftovers?

Boredom Bingeing? Do you eat when you're bored? Do you wander the house, nibbling, munching, and picking without any sense of hunger or satisfaction?

The Sloth? Do you prefer to sit on your couch rather than go to the gym? Is exercise at the absolute bottom of your to-do list?

The Celebrations, Vacations! Devils? Do your diet goals take a hike while you're at a party or on vacation?

Road Hogging? Are there temptations every step of the way to your destination? Do you use any kind of a journey as an excuse to abandon healthy eating habits?

The Dine Out Devil? Do you fill up on breadsticks and feel like you have to eat everything on your plate?

If you've experienced any of these Diet Devils, don't worry--forgive yourself. And read this book.
