There may not be a magic pill for weight loss, but what if you could take on a meal plan that would allow you to eat what you wanted to when you wanted to and still shed those pesky pounds? What the ‘diet’ does require, however, is trust — in yourself, in what your body is telling you  — some research (because you don’t want to tumble down the non-nourishing free-for all), and a willingness to forgive and be kind (to yourself). Would you be able to go down that path?

Logic and tonnes of self-experimentation have proved over time that crash and fad dieting — where you restrict meal times, portions, and sometimes eschew whole food groups — is a forward march into fitness taken through quick sand.
