The Turtle Diet: The Slow and Steady Way to Lose Weight: Volume 1 - Softcover

Pick up just about any diet book on the market and you'll see that it's written by a doctor, nutritionist, dietitian or health guru. Not this one. Kevin Carroll takes a look at dieting not from an expert's point of view, but from a dieter's point of view. He knows that lots of diets breakdown because eating habits are tough to change, that the average person gets frustrated and gives up, and that people want to see results without a lot of sacrifice. Given that, he figured there had to be a better way. Inside this short and snappy book, you'll see that The Turtle Diet is based upon the oldest, simplest, and smartest way to lose weight - slow and steady wins the race. By allowing time to play a supporting role, you can get to where you want to go if you're willing to be patient. On the other hand, if you're looking for a quick way to lose weight, then this book is not for you.

I'm not a doctor. I'm the guy next door who never had much self-discipline when it came to dieting or losing weight. One day, while pondering how I was going to get rid of the 10 to 15 pounds that I had been carrying around for too many years, it hit me. I realized that I didn't care how much time it took me to loose weight, just as long as I lost it. I also figured that if I lost just a little weight over a longer period of time, I wouldn't have to change my eating habits much at all. (I hate changing habits.) All I'd have to do would be to make ever-so-slight adjustments along the way and time would take care of the rest. So that's when I created The Turtle Diet. A diet (or better yet, a "mindset" or "lifestyle") that's based on one effortless concept: Slow and Steady Wins the Race. When I'm not writing books, I'm a corporate trainer, motivational speaker and game inventor.
