Never Say Diet: Make Five Decisions and Break the Fat Habit for Good
Date undefinedI was very hesitant about buying this book.I thought it would be another repeat of all the other diet books I have collecting dust on my shelf. I am so glad I ordered it.This is the best book on dieting I have ever read.I am about 3/4 into this book. I can relate to everything she writes about. The feelings she has about food,diets, exercise,failing at diets, to how she felt being overweight and everything in between and after. This is the first book on weight loss that I can totally relate to.Chantel is such an inspiration to me. I have started following her lead and somehow this time I feel different about approaching weight loss.I love her advice on how you should approach your own battle with weight. When she says you have to educate yourself about food...that is just something I have never done. Thank you Chantel for sharing your journey with all of us. You are an inspiration. Great book. This is the first review I have ever written for a book. Truly worth the money and time to read it. I have highlighted so many things in this book. Chantel writes like she is talking to her best friend.

Date undefinedI began reading this book and realized I wasn't ready for it yet. When I was, I picked it up and lost 30+ pounds. Chantel is right...dieting doesn't work - changing your life does. This book was the inspirtaion that I needed. Thanks!
Never Say Diet: Make Five Decisions and Break the Fat Habit for Good
Date undefinedWe've all heard of numerous diets that claim that you can lose weight in a few weeks, but then we realize that we can easily gain the weight back after the diets are done. Keeping the weight off is half the battle of weight loss, and it can be frustrating to regain all the weight. Thankfully, Chantel Hobbs provides a wonderful solution to this problem with her "Never Say Diet" program. The program works efficiently because it does not make ridiculous demands from people and allows gradual, healthy weight loss and because it provides a way for people to keep the weight off.
I myself have experienced this weight loss, as I began to change my lifestyle on March 29. Since then, I have lost a little bit over 20 pounds, and I feel much better and much less tired. Before I started to eat right, I ate two dinners almost daily and probably ate more than 3000 calories daily; I also did not exercise. I had been completely ignorant of how much I was eating a day until Chantel helped me realize and learn how much I should eat after she taught me to restrict my daily caloric intake to 1500 calories a day. Along with exercise, this has helped me greatly lose over 20 pounds and about 3-4% body fat.
Chantel's book will inspire you. If her responses to excuses for not dieting aren't enough, her story and her experiences are sure to move you. They are so poignant that they helped me realize that I was completely capable of losing weight all along. I had always blamed my failures of weight loss on a "bad" metabolism until I lost 20 pounds due to the program. I did have some nadirs in my determination, but Chantel quickly addressed those times by saying that one must remind himself/herself how miserable he/she was when he/she was fat. Chantel constantly stresses that we are not on a diet, as the title explicitly states. She provides the inspiration to help people achieve goals that they probably did not think were possible before, and she helps people on the way to a healthier life.
