The Ultimate Diet is Not About Food

At Last, an Un-Diet Book...

For every person who has struggled to lose weight--and keep it off--Stepanka offers this straightforward but powerful advice. Forget dieting. Dieting as we know it--a quick fix to a long-term problem--doesn't work. In The Ultimate Diet is NOT About Food, Stepanka Volejnikova Chae traces her own evolution from a fit, athletic teen to unhappy, overly weight-obsessed adult. After years of waging a war with her body through unsustainable and unsuccessful dieting, she makes some eye-opening discoveries:

Food is not the enemy.
Will power is not the answer.
Deprivation is not empowering.
And ... a change in focus is essential to attaining one's desired weight.

Chae reaches beyond the simple band-aid approach to losing weight--the latest "hot" diet or celebrity-endorsed tonic or best-selling how-to book--and examines the issue in a broader context. She explains how the interplay between conscious and subconscious is integral to establishing positive patterns of food--and self-perception and offers readers steps to attain their ideal weight and improve their body image.

In the crazy world of weight loss schemes and dreams, The Ultimate Diet is NOT About Food supplies a welcome return to sanity with its smart, sustainable approach to solving one of life's most persistent challenges.
