Dieting is hard—very hard! And the challenge is often made much more difficult because the perceived message of many weight-loss programs is this: “Give up a lot of things you enjoy and you will achieve the body shape you desire.”

So many diet plans have disappointed millions and resulted in great discouragement and frustration. If you are one of the brave individuals who has hit a roadblock in your search for long-term weight-loss success and you’re looking for an effective, realistic path to the healthy life and body you wish for, I would like to offer you an alternative.

This website, and my book, I Gave Up Dieting for Lent, flips the typical dieting mindset upside down and takes a very different approach that is built on this refreshing concept:

Enjoy your life while making a few moderate, consistent adjustments along the way on this exciting journey toward your health goals.

My great desire is to help you achieve your health and fitness goals in a realistic and achievable way.
