a final word
I’m passionate about helping people eat a cleaner diet and lose weight. As I explained in the
introduction, I know what it’s like to be overweight. I also know how great it feels to lose those excess
pounds, keep them off, and become healthy. I want The Healthy You Diet to inspire and encourage you
to take advantage of all of the possibilities that life has to offer.
One of the most important things I hope you take away from this book is the need to believe in
yourself. Believe that you can take the first steps by eliminating certain foods from your diet. Believe
that you can stay with the 14-day program and you’ll be amazed with the results. Believe that you will
lose weight, feel better, look better, sleep better, think more clearly, and have boundless energy. If you
believe it, you can do it.
If you need extra motivation or additional support, then I suggest that you sign up for the online
Healthy You Diet challenge. Every few months, I offer a free 14-day program online. Thousands of
people—people just like you—sign up, and everyone works together to lose weight and remain
motivated. I’ll personally guide you, using Facebook and Twitter, to help you reach your goals. I’ll be
available to answer questions and provide support, encouragement, and motivation. During the 14-day
challenge, you’ll receive positive encouragement and support from thousands of other men and
women who are also eager to eat better and lose weight. You’ll have the opportunity to share your
experience and encourage others on the program. Those who participated in the 14-day challenges
have lost anywhere from 6 to 14 pounds in just 2 weeks. If you decide to sign up for the challenge
online, use this book as the perfect resource for cooking along with the challenge.

participants have said.
