Printed in the United States of America

To all of us who have lost

and gained a tribe of people.

May we gain more access

to our hearts than

o our stomachs.

Contents

You dont get a whole life just by eating whole grains.

Youve been sold a bill of goodsand have swallowed it!

Honesty is the best policyin the schoolroom and in front of the mirror.

Exercise is not an exorcism.

If it doesnt taste good, dont eat it!

The excess weight youre carrying may be in your head.

If youre still alive, its not too late.

Eat, drink, and be merrybut dont do anything else at the same time.

Spread the weight aroundits not all about you.

The first thing you lose on a diet is your sense of humor.

Anonymous

As I sit down to begin writing this book, I have to won-der:What possesses me to want to deal with a subject that has thousands of books written about it already? What else is there to say? And is there anything I can add to the dialogue thats really new?

One of the reasons why I feel compelled to write this book is simple: I cant stand it anymore! The other is the desire to encourage you to develop a more pragmatic and optimistic approach in relation to food, movement, and lifes inevitable ups and downs.

Weight loss, exercise, and stress management have become a national maniathe holy trinity of daily conversation. Virtually all of us spend precious time with our friends going on and on about food, exercise, or our overwhelming schedules. Every magazine (certainly those aimed at women) screams from its cover about new diet secrets, ways to be happy, or how to slow down. And those articles are juxtaposed with ones about how we can look thinner in our clothes without dieting, recipes that feature fried chicken or cream pies, and ideas on how to do more in less time. I suppose that the editorial staff is trying to please as many readers as possible, but it can make one a little nuts.

In addition, we listen to newscasters who are constantly reporting scientific research on health, but the problem is that they want to report on everything that sounds interesting or provocative, even if a study has gone on for all of two minutes.We need to keep in mind that these findings arent always ready to bear fruitone of the primary mottoes of academics is Publish or perish.

For example, right now blueberries are at the top of researchers lists, with supposed evidence that you could live longer(and even have improved memory so you can remember that you did) if you eat at least a half cup every day. But that could easily change in the next few months and be replaced by bug juice. Gluten, on the other hand, is on its way to becoming theAntichrist. The end result of all the overreporting is mass confusion, which usually leads to a lot of people throwing their hands up and exclaiming, The hell with all of it!
