This is what happens when you try to change your life [weight] with willpower: You say, 'I'll force myself to eat less... exercise more.' Yes, willpower can produce short-term change, but it creates constant internal stress because you haven't dealt with the root cause. The change doesn't feel natural, so eventually you give up, go off your diet, and quit exercising. You revert to your old patterns (eating habits). There is a better and easier way: Change your autopilot - the way you think."
Rick Warren, The Purpose Driven Life.

Practically every news broadcast, and many radio and TV talk shows, contains warnings of overweight and obesity problems among Americans of all ages. Excessive weight is believed to be a major contributing factor in mental and physical disorders, from depression to diabetes.

Like the common cold, medical science is completely baffled when it comes to finding a solution to this widespread dilemma. After thousands of books, plans, pills, and billions of dollars in research, why do we still have a problem? Why haven’t we found anything that works effectively long term? Why is it that so many people continue on the same roller coaster year after year? What is it about every weight loss plan on the market that is identical, and that is frustrating to people?

ADVENTURES IN WEIGHT MASTERY, a program designed by Larry Grizzell, has the answers to these questions and more. It begins, first of all, with the understanding that “Eating Is Overrated!” That’s only the beginning of helping people to understand that what they weigh is entirely up to them, and then finding out what they can do about it.

The American overweight population is being scammed by an industry that is milking them for all they are worth. People become tired of paying high prices for tasteless, low-fat, low-calorie, small portions of packaged diet meals, tiny snacks, and drinks that leave an awful aftertaste. They are burned out from reading book after book on the subject of weight loss written by some overweight author. Intelligent men and women are tired of paying money each week to stand in line and weigh themselves in front of other overweight people. Then of course there is the obsessive counting of calories, carbs, protein, fat grams, ounces, etc., etc. Finally, the diet pills, that are without FDA regulations and raking in millions of dollars from hard working people.
