The Duke Diet: The World-Renowned Program for Healthy and Lasting Weight Loss
This diet is fake, it can’t even be used in the united state because what you need to take you can’t get here

Believe it or not there are those of us out there who own a copy of the 1990 edition of this book by Drs. Hamilton, Kolotkin, Cogburn, Moore and K. Watterson. I bought this new version because the old one was outstanding, and as a result was much disappointed. The current authors jazzed up the book, and have essentially created a Duke University Weight Watchers look alike. I was astonished at the similarities. Go to Weight Watchers instead!
The old parts of this book that were removed were some of the items most endearing to me: A test at the beginning (a pretty good one too), a caloriec count section with portion control, and overall a removal of some great psychology motivation and excerpts and examples from those who have previously lost. A no nonsense section of advice to succeed. They removed these!!!! Very sad. Go to [. . . ], or [. . . ] and see if you can’t get hold of the old one. It was worthy. This one is not. I’ve bought diet books and chucked them out, but this old one I hung onto.

I went to Duke for a year and lost close to 70 lbs. (67 to be exact). I exercised, ate and was satisfied, and it worked! The food was good, the lessons learned are meant for a lifetime, and are priceless to me! Every time I put food into my mouth I know what it is doing to my body. If I overeat I feel like crap. If I eat healthy my blood pressure, sugar and all my other bloodwork looks great. You have to learn to say “No” to the “Triggers” that set you off or at least be aware of them, so that you know what you get yourself into if you indulge. The “KEY” is if you have something, have it in moderation, and don’t have it 3 days in a row. Get back on your plan and “Keep on truckin”! Sometimes the weight doesn’t seem like it is ever going to come off, but don’t give up, because guess what. . . It does! Exercise is key also. If your too overweight to walk on the treadmill, sit in a chair and do body twists, or move your arms and feet from side to side. Movement of any kind is better than “NOTHING”! Once you lose some and feel better you can then “Kick it up a notch” as Emeril says. Make a journal of all that you eat so you are aware of exactly what you are putting into your mouth each day. You will be surprised how the calories add up and you don’t even expect it! My best advice is “if you overindulge, pick yourself up, brush yourself off and start eating healthy again. In no time at all you will be right back in the swing of things again for a happier and healthier life!

And if you are looking for instantaneous weight loss instead of slow, but certain change, save your money, as well. This is an excellent step-by-step guide to good health for people looking to make a lifestyle change and get into shape (as opposed to simply getting skinny for a short time). It requires that you address changes in habits that go beyond those dealing with food and eating habits. I highly recommend it .

Dr, Eisenson has written a wonderful synopsis of the Duke
Diet & Fitness Center program. I was fortunate to spend 2 weeks in Durham at the Center. It is a comprehensive and educational program. I lost 65 pounds and have kept it off for four years, using the hutritional,exercise,and medical advice I received at the Center. The book and online Duke program are wonderful touchstones to maintain my balance-and pick up some great recipes & workouts, too.
If you can’t visit the Center, this book is an excellent way to begin taking care of yourself right now, at home.
I give this book my highest recommendation.
