CHAPTER ONE

Who Tells You What to Eat—And Why Do You Listen?

Everybody's got an opinion.

I can guarantee that hundreds, even thousands of people are eager to tell you exactly what to eat to lose weight. Your mother-in-law. Your skinny best friend. Your sister. That friend of a friend who just lost 50 pounds. Your doctor, who maybe had a single nutrition class in medical school. The guy sitting next to you on the plane, who just started the Atkins diet, or that vegan girl who works the front desk at your gym and wears T-shirts stating she doesn't eat her friends. Ask "What's the best way to lose weight?" at a party, and the discussion could go on for hours because so many people think they know.

Other sources are more than happy to charge you for the information. The latest issue of your favorite magazine. Diet doctors. Book authors. Diet doctors who are also book authors. Celebrities who know you wish you looked the way they do. Food product manufacturers. Weight loss companies that produce diet meals, ready to ship to your door or your grocery store's freezer case. The diet industry is huge and profitable, even when the economy is down, because no matter how anything else is going in life, everybody wants to be thin.

In the world today, a whole lot of people have experience with dieting and weight loss—or have heard about someone else's experience and are happy to pass along the information. If you struggle with your weight, it's amazing how many people are ready to jump in and "help" you.

But there's a big difference between experience and expertise.

Your neighbor, your trainer, and your mom may have experience losing weight, but they don't have expertise about weight loss or nutrition. They can tell you what they did, but they are only telling you what they did. What worked for someone else doesn't necessarily apply to you. You have a completely different body and metabolism, plus different exercise habits and dietary preferences. Maybe you aren't a big fan of meat, or you think a life without cheese sounds barren and depressing, or the idea of weighing yourself at a meeting in front of everybody seems too embarrassing to contemplate. Just remember, when someone tells you about her diet that worked wonders, that's anecdotal. There is a reason anecdotal evidence doesn't count when a drug is being scrutinized by the FDA for approval. It's not an objective measure of what works for everyone.

In fact, studies show all kinds of diets work for certain kinds of people, but they don't work for many others. Some studies have shown that people who are insulin resistant do better on different kinds of diets than people who are insulin sensitive, and others suggest that DNA determines which diet may or may not work for you. A recent study that got a lot of media attention celebrated the Mediterranean diet as the healthiest, not because it was the best diet but because it was the one people were most likely to stick to. And then there's this little interesting study: A company in the United Kingdom wanted to determine whether customized diets were more effective than standard diets. It put 15 people on a weight loss plan that met each individual's preferences, such as wanting cheat days, not wanting to exercise, wanting to cook, etc. They all lost more than 10 pounds in 6 weeks. When the same people were put on a generic diet, only two lost weight, while five gave up and eight people gained weight! From my point of view working with hundreds of people who come to me after diets have failed them, the bottom line is that preference and personalization likely have everything to do with sticking to a diet. If you don't stick to your plan, it can't work for you.

Even so, for some reason, people love to copy what other people do. They do it with such hope and optimism. They tell themselves, "I can become this now!" or "I'm going to look just like her!" or "He's my new idol." They convince themselves they can take on somebody else's habits, schedules, tastes, and ways of eating and exercising, even if those things don't fit into their lifestyles. You don't have someone else's body type, or taste, or schedule, or personality, or life. You have your very own life, so shouldn't you have your very own way of eating, too?

In my practice, I find that people often have extremely unrealistic expectations about what they can really do over the long term. I think this is why so many diets fail. And even though people know the odds are against them, they really don't believe it. They say they do. "Oh yes, I know, diets don't work, blah blah blah," but deep down, when they hear about a new one, they think that this time it will be different, that this diet will finally work. They believe that "miracles" have happened for others-- celebrities in particular, who are seen as different from the rest of us, like supernatural beings--and that with just the right secrets or tips or tricks, those same miracles (which probably didn't even happen the way they've heard) will happen to them. They begin each new diet passionately, believing that, like a new love interest, This is the one!

It's not realistic, but more than that, it's not sustainable. Most people revert back to their old habits and preferences after the thrill of pretending to be somebody else wears off. A week or a month or a few months later, disillusionment sets in. Either the plan was too hard, or it didn't yield the expected results. "But the book said 30 pounds in 30 days!" "But I missed eating bread/cheese/sugar too much!" At this point, people tend to go back to eating everything they love and more, as if they were getting revenge on that nasty diet for lying to them. They gain back all the weight they'd lost and lose the good habits they might've picked up. They are through with dieting--that is, until the next new diet inspires just as much hope. Maybe this one is the answer. Maybe she knows what will work for me. Maybe Dr. So-and-So really gets it. And the cycle starts all over again.

Here's the problem, as I see it: You are you. There are particular reasons why you have gained weight, and there are particular ways that you like to eat, and there are particular ways you can improve your diet. There are weight loss rules that won't work for you, and there are rules that will, but there is absolutely no way to know which is which based on what anybody else tells you. You are completely different than anyone else who ever lost weight on a diet. You are entirely unique.

I think that's pretty cool, actually.

So what will work for you? It might sound strange for me to rail against all these so-called miracle diet books in my own diet book, but here's the difference: Despite what the cover says, The One One One Diet isn't actually a diet. It's a strategy. It is customizable. It belongs to you. I won't tell you that there are things you cannot eat, because you can eat anything you please. I refuse to tell you that you have to eat something, because you don't have to eat anything you don't want to eat. However, I will tell you how to eat, because this is where it's all going to happen for you. And not only will I tell you how to do 1:1:1, but I will tell you how to make 1:1:1 yours.

Start-Now Strategy

I'm sure there are plenty of foods you don't want to cut out of your diet, but start thinking about the things you eat out of habit that you don't care that much about. Where could you trim back right now? If you love cheese on your turkey sandwich, have it! But if you snack on unadorned popcorn because you think you should and eat 6 cups of it because it's not satisfying you, replace that with a snack you enjoy more and you could end up eating a lot less.

This is a strategy for life. It is something you can do forever because you make it fit you. And that makes all the difference in the...
