Hello Jonni,

I just want to thank you for your support and this great program of renewing my life both mentally and physically. I must admit, I've had some real tough times especially in the evenings, but I was able to make it through. My biggest fear is breaking down and giving in to the withdrawals.... Just to let you know how positive this process is, I only read a few pages, .. [they have] given me so much motivation, that I changed my diet, and I have noticed my clothes fitting looser today, I will continue and again thank you so much for all your support.

Dear Friend,

There's one simple fact that diet book authors don't really want you to know.

Most Americans, (and that probably includes you), could lose weight safely and quickly just by giving up sugar.

It isn't rocket science - you'll lose weight if you work off more calories than you eat. Most of us, however, eat more calories than we burn, so we gradually gain weight.

What is making America so fat?

In America, many of our extra calories come from sugar and other simple carbohydrates, which pack a wallop in calories but provide no real nutrition at all.

Many of these sugar calories are hiding in soft drinks and processed foods, so we may not even know how much sugar we eat every day. Each year, 120 pounds of added sweetener is consumed in America per person - that's 1/3 pound of sugar per person every single day! That's an added 630 calories.

Imagine giving up just one candy bar a day and losing 1 pound every two weeks, without making any other change in your diet! That's 22 pounds a year.

Imagine giving up two giant Costco muffins a week and one Starbuck's Caramel Cappuccino a day, and losing 4 pounds a month, without making any other change in your diet! That's 48 pounds a year - the easy way!

The problem is - many Americans try to give up sugar, and can't! In fact, many people try (and fail) to give up sugar as often as smokers try to quit smoking. If you're really hooked on sugar, it isn't all that easy to give it up

And the problem includes more than just sugar. The bad news is that just a few minutes after it hits your stomach, your system can't tell the difference between sugar and white flour. America's love affair with pasta and Wonder bread (and yes, fancy hearth-baked French bread), means lots of extra flab around your middle, on your thighs, and wrapped around your internal organs and arteries.

The Atkins folks figured this out, and built an entire industry around telling us to give up the carbs - but they went overboard and included all carbs instead of pointing their fingers at the real problem - simple carbs like sugar and white flour.

After all, how many books could they sell if it was that simple?

"Hi Jonni - Thanks for your support. I feel great with out white sugar and white flour. I enjoyed your book and your emails. I guess it has been about a month I have lost 10 lbs and my whole family is eating better."

What are simple carbohydrates?

Simple carbohydrates are highly refined calorie bombs just waiting to make you fat, and make you sick. Unlike complex carbohydrates, found in vegetables and whole grains, simple carbohydrates cause an almost immediate rise in your blood sugar. Over time this can affect your insulin response and cause a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and some kinds of cancer.

But it isn't easy to let go of simple carbohydrates. If it was, America wouldn't be so fat.

We all know that gaining weight is easy. Unless you're Renee Zellweger, and you're getting ready for your next Hollywood role as a fat girl, you probably didn't have to struggle to eat a few extra calories each day in order to gain weight. You didn't go out and buy special diet books that listed every morsel of food you could and couldn't eat in order to gain a pound or two before your class reunion. You probably didn't go out and buy expensive bland-tasting "snacks" with the texture of cardboard because they promised to add a few extra globs of fat to your thighs.

The flab "just happens."

But when we decide it's time to start getting rid of all the extra pounds that "just happened," Americans reach for their wallets. This country's obesity rate has become a huge business opportunity, and many of the products now available to help us lose our extra weight are sold with the fervor (and lack of candor) that would do a snake-oil salesman proud.

But let's take some personal responsibility, here. We set ourselves up for the false promises, the shady advertising practices, and the questionable pharmaceutical studies of the obesity industry because we don't want to see how obvious it all is.

We want to believe that it's hard to eat healthy food, because the alternative is facing the fact that the foods we most enjoy and crave are the very foods that are making us fat.
