To diet or not to diet – that is the question. Some experts say dieting is useless, while others say it’s the most important thing you can do to transform your physique. Our guests today are both nationally acclaimed experts on dieting, yet they both offer a solution from a completely different angle. Our first guest, the amazing Susan Powter, who got famous for her mega-bestselling book, Stop The Insanity, talks about why it’s best to eat and exercise for health and wellness and forget about dieting. Susan lost 130 pounds, and then she did the hard part – she kept if off for all these years. Hear what Susan has to say about The Politics of Stupid and why it will be the last diet book you ever need. Our second guest is Dr. Jim Johnson, who’s a former plastic surgeon and co-author of the The Alternate-Day Diet. This is a scientifically-based middle-ground approach to dieting where you’re one day on and one-day off the weight loss program. This diet comes wildly recommended by a listener who experienced immediate success with it. Host Karen Bentley continues her spiritual solution theme of loving yourself at any weight. Today’s technique for recognizing yourself as a loving person is gentle speech. Karen Bentley also shares the latest and greatest news from the Harvard Health Letter about the beneficial effects of sunshine.
