Quotes

• “The author’s compelling personal story—she lost 200 pounds to become a 150-pound marathon runner—is only part of what will push listeners to new heights with their weight-control efforts. Hobbs lost the weight in her head first by using five mental steps, steps that people with a wide range of weight issues will appreciate. Narrating with a natural, youthful voice, she unfolds detailed but always-accessible information about nutrition, metabolism, and exercise physiology. Strategies from the worlds of addictions and positive psychology reveal a sophisticated grasp of the dynamics of personal change. With arresting insights about habits and structure, she reveals an amazing knack for unpacking the objections that hang up most unsuccessful dieters.”

• “More than 90 percent of my patients gain back most of the weight they lose. Why so little success? The simple answer is that average people can’t stay on a diet permanently. But this program is different. It is not a diet but a complete lifestyle, thought-process, and physiological transformation. The change comes from within, helping to make you a better person…not just a thinner person.”

• “The importance of Chantel’s story can’t be calculated in terms of burned calories or lost pounds, and it’s not her dramatic weight loss that makes her such a special person. It’s her willingness to credit God’s ability to totally transform lives. She reminds us that lasting change has to happen on the inside before it can happen on the outside and that this change is within reach of anyone who’s willing to seize it.”

  — Boy Coy, pastor of Calvary Chapel, Fort Lauderdale, Florida

• “You might be able to lose a few pounds with a crash diet, but it’s temporary. That’s why diets don’t work for people who need to lose a lot of weight. Instead of going on a diet, you need to make a lifestyle change. In fact, you must undergo a ‘brain change.’ Never Say Diet delivers just that.”
