Next, set up a practice to where you spend about 3.2 minutes with each patient…just long enough to find out what probably isn’t ‘wrong’ with them but enough to toss some handy-dandy drugs their way to treat the symptoms.

There. Don’t you feel better? Of course you do.

Finally, when that gets old and you gain about 40 pounds, write a book about how to lose 40 pounds. The consonants behind your name is really all you require. That’s what we’ve sold America on. In fact, the market-driven, consonant-loving Americans cannot get enough of diet books written by doctors they’d never want to look like.

Let’s put this in perspective—that’s like me writing a book about becoming a Vogue cover model.

Are all doctors like this? No, of course not…and those who have read my rants and raves about our learned physicians over the years will know that I place only about 85% of them in this category. Oh, okay…probably half or more. I’ll have to think about it.

Still, this brings us up to the point of this diatribe—the fallacy of the diet, and in particular, the one diet fits all, write-a-book-about-it mentality.

The funny thing is that I’ve written a very successful book about…dieting. It even has the word I detest (diet) IN the title! For more, see my blog entry on why I opted for this route and get a good laugh. However, The Every Other Day Diet is ‘not’ your conventional diet book…no, no, no. Not in the least. It’s a process book that takes someone from whatever stage they are ready for (beginners to advanced bodybuilders) and eases them in to a lifestyle eating system that simply works. It works because it works for them…and that’s why there’s multiple versions in the EODD plan.

I’ve been asked (nay, badgered) for years to write a diet book. After all, I had a heck of a transformation myself, became a working nutritionist (no consonants, thank YOU), and a lifecoach. Plus, I’m a writer. You’d think I’d be prime for it…but I am not. I rejected the notion for years. The EODD came to me by default, almost like a surprise package in the mail. Maybe it was someone else’s letter I opened up…who knows? All I know is this: it works, and works well.

“I’ve gone from 24% body fat to 19% body fat in less than a month, with no loss in muscle mass!”—Danny Jenkins, South Beach, FL

I get those quite a bit…nice testimonials that make my day. However, like Danny, anyone’s results will be based on their goals and personalization of the program…of any program, not just mine. While The Every Other Day Diet is very good, perhaps the best, at allowing you to consume foods you already enjoy (and yes, that means ‘junk’ foods, just within a particular system) and teaching you to love the foods you ‘should’ enjoy, it’s still dependent upon you.

Using the Goal Workshop in The Every Other Day Diet, you’ll be given valuable knowledge about how to apply personalization to this routine. You will learn to ‘love’ it, and we only keep that which we love.

The ideal diet? That’s simple…no diet at all, unless you use the word “diet” in the literal sense (that being ‘sustenance’). The key is to simply enjoy all the foods you consume. At that point, “willpower” becomes a thing of the past. How hard is it to eat a piece of cake? Well, guess what—it’s no more difficult for me to eat a can of tuna after applying these principles.

To help people along, I have offered for this 72-hour period only (meaning it ends Monday, May 9th at midnight), 12 free weeks of my new M-Power Audio Series™—Mind, Meals and Muscle. This will really drive home the point that a “diet” is not the answer. An eating plan that you create, with a bit of help from books like mine and even others, is the answer…along with a reframing of the mind. Once the mind changes, the subconscious mind becomes a friend rather than a foe.

Sound too good to be true? It’s not…4 days prior to my last photoshoot, which you can see in my online gallery, I had a nice big burger. If I ate like that every day, I’d end up looking like my before pictures. However, eating that burger actually made me leaner. No kidding. I’ll show you what I mean.

Check out The Every Other Day Diet and let me know what you think. Oh, and for the newbies to my site…you’ll find that 99% of my articles are not ‘sales pitches’…this one is, to a point. However, it’s actually the best way I know to ‘make’ the point that one diet cannot work for everyone.

Unless the diet book you purchase realizes that, you may end up looking like the bloated physician who wrote it.
