Introduction Introduction EATING Your Way to a HEALTHIER, Thinner YOU Congratulations. This is the first step to a healthier, thinner, younger-looking and gorgeous you. I know what you’re thinking: All diet books say that . Some of them even tell you that you’ll get healthier and thinner just by picking up the book and paying for it. ‘Buy this book, it will change your life,’ they boast. We all know they can’t be telling the truth, but just as when we buy extortionately expensive face creams that claim to take years off our appearance, we want to believe them. We are desperate to believe that our lives can be changed – or, at least, that our hips can be slimmer – by reading a book, smearing on some cream or buying some new knickers. The bad news is that most of the time it simply isn’t that simple. There is no magic wand to make most of the changes that we want to see. But the good news is that the Viva Mayr Diet is as close as you can get to a miracle cure-all. It is, quite simply, the best diet there is – and the easiest one to follow. There is no calorie-counting, no weighing your food, and no living off cabbage soup for weeks on end. It is simply an approach to eating that will totally transform you. I guarantee that if you follow the Viva Mayr Diet, you will not only lose weight but you will also feel and look better than you have done in years. This is because the Viva Mayr Diet is not only about what you eat, it is about how you eat and live. It is about making small changes to your everyday habits that will make a huge difference to your well-being. Some changes are so small you won’t notice them. Others are more challenging. But once you have lived the diet for the 14 days outlined in this book, you will be converted, I promise. Think about what you want to achieve. Why are you buying this book? You want to lose weight? You want to feel better? To look better? Improve your health? I would guess that 99 per cent of you opted for losing weight as your number-one priority. Almost every woman I know thinks she should lose weight. But the fact is, as you will see from the Viva Mayr Diet, that weight loss is inextricably linked with all the other factors I mention. Like health and looks. One thing leads to another. Why not do it all at once and save time? Talk about multi-tasking … Forget all fads; the raw-food diet, the blood-group diet, the ‘whatever we haven’t tried yet to convince people to part with their money’ diet. Go for the Viva Mayr Diet, which is sustainable, logical, simple and extremely do-able.
