Powell Chris - Extreme transformation: lifelong weight loss in 21 days

The Phoenix is a mythical bird that, near the end of its lifetime, crashes into the earth in a ball of flamesand then reincarnates itself to begin life anew.

It has been six years since we started our show Extreme Weight Losssix seasons, over 70 incredible transformations on camera, and millions of lives changed in more than 140 countries! So much has happened in that short span of timeour family has expanded, our passion for helping others continues to grow, and our insight into how people can effectively lose weight and get in shape has deepened. But one of the biggest transformations of all is how we finally understand the necessary steps to keeping it off forever.

Since Heidi became even more visible on the show, the response has been overwhelming. People want more of heron the show and via her blog, HeidiPowell.net. But what many dont realize is that Heidi and I have worked side by side from day one, helping our people change their lives for the better. As Heidis role on the show has increased, Ive been super excitedbut not a bit surprisedto see how our viewers have responded to her amazing spirit, energy, and wisdom. They seem to relate to her emotionally charged, dig-in approach; instead of backing off when things get tough, Heidi helps them through some of the tough inner parts of their struggle to lose weight and hold steady to their transformation journey and ultimately their lifelong dreams.

It turns out that my strengths as head cheerleader and chief educator dovetail nicely with Heidis more emotional approach. Dont get me wrong: We are both tough, but in different ways, and we came to realize that the most successful of the people we work with need just that: cheerleader, educator, and counselor. They also have relied upon us as trusted friendsand thats what we want to be to you, friends you can depend onto be honest with you, and to help guide you to your best life.

Together, we have always felt like a formidable team, but now with so many people responding to us as a couple (and family), we realize that yes, two is better than one and our differences support our approach. And thats what we want to give you in this thirdour most comprehensive and completebook: a combination of both our approaches through a 21-day lifestyle shift that will put you on course to change your body and your life, forever.

Since our last book, we have made some influential discoveriesinfluential on us! Taking in the experience of the hundreds of courageous women and men we have guided through the weight loss journey, weve learned so much more about the struggles, and how to overcome them for continued success. We have dug deep with our people over the years, and now deliver to you the fastest, most convenient, most balanced way to achieve profound weight loss. Over the years we have set out to identify the reasons why it is so difficult for many to not just lose the weight, but to continue losing weight over time, and ultimately maintain a lifestyle of success. Why? Why do we lose motivation? Why do we fall off of the wagon time and again? How can we finally lose the weight for good? These are the questions that we have obsessed over for years and have sought tirelessly to find the solutions.

The answer is simple: Most diets are just thatdiets. They are simple plans to follow for weight loss. Some even come with an exercise component. But they dont provide the inner compass, the knowledge, and the realistic expectations of what the journey is
