We all have our own food devils. Maybe it’s Ben and Jerry’s “Imagine Whirled Peace.” Maybe it’s movie theater popcorn. Or maybe it’s those S’mores PopTarts your boyfriend keeps in his apartment that he never eats that call your name every morning when he leaves for class that you just. can’t. resist. I’m not saying that’s mine….butimjustsayin.
The point is, dieting is nearly as impossible as getting your eyeliner to stay on your waterline when you don’t know how to avoid the “diet devils.” Heather Bauer, nutritionist, author, mother of three, creator of Nu-Train, New Yorker, runner and just all-around badass, has written Bread is the Devil for just these issues. Maybe you’re a free-style dieter, pretending you can guess and count all those calories in your head when, let’s face it, you struggled through pre-algebra freshman year. Or maybe you’re a OMG-It’s-My-BFF’s-21st-So-I-Can-TOTALLY-Have-This-Queso-Dip-And-Pitcher-Of-Margs dieter. Or perhaps you, like me, suffer from “boredom bingeing,” or what I like to call, “SVU marathon eating.” Whatever your vice, Bread is the Devil has a way to fix the situation, and Heather Bauer herself has some words of wisdom for when your diet devil is that Jäger shot at the bar:
Most diets don’t work because the only way you could possibly follow them is if you lived in a hermetically sealed bubble. That’s not the case in my new book Bread is the Devil. Over the last 12 years I’ve helped thousands successfully lose weight and keep it off. The secret? I understand the connection between behavior and eating. Bread is the Devil gives you an easy-to-follow 3 week plan, as well as strategies for 10 important “diet devils” — the underlying situations that are the real reason we are all 5, 10 or 80 pounds overweight. We all have a few. Whether it be the Dine Out Devil, the Late Night Shuffle, or Boredom Bingeing, my book will give you the ultimate solution. My other claim to fame? Realizing that people have non-negotiables. For many of my clients, it’s drinking (see, you’re not alone!). So sidle up to the bar, because you don’t have to give it up. All you have to do is tweak what you drink and build it in. Good news, vodka is one of my top picks!
