What this book is about

Stikky Weight Management uses a powerful learning method to teach anyone the skill of managing their weight, step-by-step.

Each step builds on what came before and reinforces it. That way, by the time you reach the end of the book, you will be confident in managing your weight for the rest of your life.

Still more exciting, the things you learn will serve as 'hooks' on which you can hang future knowledge.

This book also reveals the foods that are America's top sources of calories, saturated fat, and fiber, and the truth behind popular diets.

Stikky Weight Management has four parts:

Sequence One explains why your weight increases or decreases and the only two ways you can affect it, helps you figure out your target weight, explains why a temporary diet has only a temporary effect, teaches you how to gauge the calories in foods, and how to decipher nutrition labels. If possible, you should read this sequence in one sitting.

Sequence Two builds on what you have learned in Sequence One, explores the idea of diet substitutions, uncovers the latest findings on how much exercise you really need, and reveals the three bad foods and four good ones. Ideally, you should leave a few days, but no more than a week, between completing Sequence One and starting Sequence Two.

The Epilogue, a special feature of Stikky books, brings together everything you have learned so far and reinforces it in some new and unfamiliar situations. Again, you should leave a few days between completing Sequence Two and reading the Epilogue.

If, by the end of the book, you are eager to find out more, as we hope you will be, you will find dozens of things to explore in the Next Steps section.

You can skip to the Next Steps section at any time, of course, but the rest of the book only makes sense if read in order: Sequence One, Sequence Two, Epilogue.
