This New Year, as overweight Americans renew resolutions to lose weight, they have something new - a clear-cut tool to lose weight and keep it off: "8 Skinny Habits You Can Start Today" from author Diana Bronson (available at http://www.8skinnyhabits.com). Bronson reveals her 8 skinny, easy-to-remember habits that have kept her thin all her life, as she attempts to re-shape the obesity epidemic in the United States.
According to Bronson, in the simplest of terms, with no journals to keep and no calories to count, her e-book uncovers 8 simple ways to eat and think like a thin person. It also asks readers to make the connection - between what they;re eating and what's eating them.
Bronson introduces her 8 skinny habits that fit, effortlessly, into the lives of all 'over-doers" (those who've learned to over-eat or drink too much in response to coping with past and present stress). Bronson stresses that "the coping mechanisms we have created may no longer be serving us. In fact, we may be serving them."
Bronson also outs the over-fed, $40-billion-dollar-a-year diet industry for keeping the metabolism secret it refuses to share.
According to overwhelming statistics, 6 weeks into the New Year, people abandon their diets altogether. Bronson seeks to empower these very people, asking that they relinquish the endless cycle of dieting. She also
targets the unfortunate 97 percent who lose weight, but gain every pound back within 5 years, a statistic confirmed by a National Institutes for Health study.
Recently citing the Mayo Clinic's Web site (http://www.MayoClinic.com), Bronson affirms that successful programs help individuals "do the archaeological work" of getting in touch with the emotional forces shaping
their habits - how they think and feel about food, and why people eat when they're not hungry. Simply put, in "Habit Number 4 - Salivating is for Dogs," Bronson urges the public to resist "Pavlovian urges" to eat at 12:00
noon, "when we're not even hungry."
In "Habit Number 5 - 20-Minute Meals," Bronson details that "20 minutes is just how long it takes for your brain to let you know you're satisfied, and it's time to stop eating."
