"An enlightening alternative to prescriptive dieting"
I wouldn't describe myself as very overweight, but over the years I've had to think about it - particularly in the gut department - and I've also from time to time turned to dieting to help improve my overall feeling of wellness. Knowing nothing at all about health and diet, like most people I tried out a couple of things that had been mentioned to me or were popular at the time. Nothing really worked, and it was only when I picked up Weight Wisdom that I learned why.
Alan Jackson has spent the last 25 years researching the subject and helping people as well as training other practitioners on weight management techniques. He has now poured all of that experience into Weight Wisdom, in such a way that it is easy to consume (sorry!) and understand. I took to the book immediately when early on he talks about how no two weight loss journeys are the same, and there is no one size fits all solution - this resonated as it seems to me the idea of experimenting with a variety of prescriptive diets is a risky hit and miss approach, and yet that's what most of us do.
What Weight Wisdom provided me with, was enough information that I could figure out my own strategy, and factual information that is backed up with references to academic research studies as well as Alan's own experience. This new found knowledge will give you the confidence to make the right decisions FOR YOU about how you approach your personal health and weight management. And because you now know more, it is easier to commit more fully to the process - a journey which is even more rewarding as you have figured it out yourself.
You don't have to be an expert to effectively manage your own weight loss, but you don't want to be blindly following a random expert's singular dietary solution either. Weight Wisdom is agnostic and quite simply gives you a scientific basis of understanding to achieve your own personal weight loss mission.
