Take a look at "Mastering Food Choices"

I read another of Jerzy's books, Mastering Food Choices. I thought it was very very good. Take a look at it if you're trying to implement the Happy Body diet and you're struggling!

It teaches you how to think like a Master instead of a Fatalist: to take charge of your own decisions and remain in control. Obviously, he was talking about food choices, but you can apply it to any part of your life that you feel is slipping out of your control.

There were just so many things in there that resonated with me. I loved "Hungry? Great! I'm a walking Safeway. Go and find some fat to burn!" I've already used this internal dialogue a couple of times.

Jerzy is very well disciplined, but this is not the diet that makes you avoid the things you love. He says, "I love the restaurant but I cannot go there. This is ridiculous. I must go there and conquer the bread." It's a very classically stoic attitude (the obstacle is the way). Don't avoid the food that you overeat in fear. Learn to conquer the food by eating ONE cookie, ONE bread from the bread basket at the restaurant, and then stop because you know that's enough.

I think a lot of people are turned off by The Happy Body diet because of the way it's presented in the book: lose weight until you're a certain weight (and that weight is quite low), and then lose fat until you're 13% BF for women and 11% for men. It seems absolutely impossible to most people. They think, Jerzy and Aniela are crazy and they'll give me an eating disorder! I think that couldn't be further from the truth. Why?

1. Anorexics are terrified of gaining weight. Jerzy gives you the confidence that if you do fall off the plan and gain weight, the plan is so good that if you get right back on and keep following it, you'll easily lose that weight and then some. You have no anxiety and you're carrying around no guilt about food like an anorexic does.

2. Anorexics are preoccupied with diet and obsessed with controlling it because they feel their lives are spinning out of control. Jerzy gives you the tools to have control over your diet and your life without thinking about it all the time. The Master mindset makes the right decisions when the time comes, and then forgets about it the rest of the time and enjoys his/her life!

3. Jerzy wants to help you achieve a body that's in fantastic shape and can help you battle diseases like diabetes and heart disease that can cut your life short. A lean, light body that's also flexible and strong simply lives a healthier, better life. Learning to train the happy body way will bring you closer to all of that, and that's more important than achieving the end result. Jerzy has you measure your progress in flexibility, posture, strength, and weight every 6 weeks. Any positive change should be a celebration!
