This Isn't Another Diet Book (Even Though I Lost 65 Pounds)
"So it's a diet book?"
That's the first question people ask when I tell them I lost 40 pounds while writing this book.
No. It's not a diet book.
I didn't count a single calorie. I didn't follow meal plans. I didn't measure portions or track macros. I didn't join a program or buy special foods.
What I did was start questioning the medical and nutritional advice I'd been following faithfully for years – advice that was making me sicker, heavier, and more frustrated.
The Difference Between Diets and Understanding
Diet books give you rules to follow. They tell you what to eat, when to eat it, and how much. They promise that if you just follow their specific plan, you'll finally achieve the results you want.
This book does something completely different: it helps you understand why the conventional advice you've been following hasn't worked. Once you understand the myths behind the recommendations, you can make informed decisions that actually serve your health.
What Happens When You Question Everything
When I started digging into the research behind common health advice, I discovered that much of what I'd been told was either outdated, oversimplified, or influenced by industries that profit from keeping us confused.
The weight loss was a side effect of following approaches that actually aligned with human biology rather than fighting against it. But the real transformation was understanding why I'd been struggling in the first place.
Why This Matters More Than Another Meal Plan
Diet books assume the advice is correct and you just need better willpower or a different approach. This book questions whether the advice itself is the problem.
When you understand the myths shaping mainstream health recommendations, you stop blaming yourself for failing to follow flawed guidance. You start asking better questions and finding approaches that actually work for your body.
The Results That Follow Understanding
The weight loss happened naturally when I stopped following advice based on myths about calories, fat, cholesterol, and metabolism. But even more importantly, my energy increased, my mood stabilized, and my health markers improved.
These weren't the result of restriction or willpower – they were the result of working with my biology instead of against it.
What You'll Find in This Book
Rather than meal plans and recipes, you'll find:
The specific myths that shape mainstream health advice
Why these myths persist despite contradicting evidence
How to evaluate health claims critically
The questions to ask your healthcare providers
How to make informed decisions about your own health
Why Not Just Another Diet
The diet industry thrives on people repeatedly trying and failing. This book is about breaking that cycle by understanding the flawed premises behind most dietary advice.
You don't need another diet. You need to understand why the diets haven't worked.
