Dieting for Decades is about simplifying your diet without going to extreme measures like juice cleanses or only eating vegetables, so you can focus on the things you actually care about.
Do you feel like you spend your entire life as a slave to your diet? Are you able to get results but struggle to maintain them? Have you been slowly gaining weight as you get older that you are unable to lose?
You’re not alone. Despite the hundreds of diet books published every year, over half of America remains overweight, and global obesity rates are on the rise. Even many people who are a healthy weight follow overly complicated, miserable diets. Most people focus on the wrong things and work harder than they need to in pursuit of fitness.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
Dieting for Decades shares the lessons learned on the fitness journeys of a father and son in very different life stages: Henry, in his 20s, and Mark, in his 50s, and how they found ways to build simple, effective dieting systems that let them spend more time living and less time stressing about dieting.
In this book, you’ll learn:
-Why most people’s approach to dieting is harder than it needs to be
-How to create and maintain long-term weight loss momentum
-Why dieting is incredibly unfair and what to do about it
-How walking can actually be a better form of exercise than running
-A repeatable way to trick your body into eating less unhealthy things
-Why sleep matters more than you think, and how to improve it
-How to use hunger to your advantage
-The truth about what foods matter and what foods don’t
-How to reduce damage done by buffets and holidays
-Ways to adapt your diet around unexpected cheat meals
-Easy rules to master grocery stores and cooking
-How to set up a system to repeat your success over and over again
Dieting for Decades is a book for people who hate diet books that combines behavioral psychology with a practical business mindset to help you build a “set it and forget it” diet solution made for the real world and all its temptations. This will help you built a system flexible enough to handle anything life throws at you.

Reviews for "Dieting for Decades: A Sustainable Approach Built to Last a Lifetime"
The two biggest culprits, to me, are convenience eating (at home), making very quick meals and snacking with the wrong types of foods because of a harried, hurried lifestyle. And eating out where the menus and portions encourage overeating the wrong types of food.
The keyword should be diet, and not dieting. If we practice a good diet matching our lifestyle, which should be active, even if it means just taking the stair rather than the elevator, then our diet, like mine was and continues, should never require dieting or cutting back in any way. Strangely, my natural stingy, miserly way of saving money for other things other than food always prevented me from eating too much when I was out by not spending money on food that I didn't need anyway.
Still in good health after 55 years of paralysis and 27 years in a wheelchair where exercise is problematic when one's muscles no longer move.
