Puhn, who has a master's degree in medical biology and has been certified as a nutritional specialist by the American College of Nutrition, has 20 years of experience working with this diet. She says that timing is the key. Each day, there's a mandatory snack within two hours of breakfast, and two more snacks in the afternoon. There are a few no-no foods that would cause a rush of blood sugar (no pasta for lunch, no plain bagels for breakfast, no grapes for snacks), but other than that, the program is remarkably simple. Puhn says that losing weight is 75 percent physiological (cravings sabotaging your efforts) and 25 percent psychological, such as when your inner "fathead" says you have to have that piece of chocolate birthday cake or you'll hurt Aunt Fanny's feelings.

Dieting is hard for most of us, downright impossible for a few. We can all use a little help from some detailed information, and the words of wisdom found in a good book. With a specific medical condition we need to know as much as possble about the condition, so our diet will be a help rather than a hindrance.
Merely trying to lose weight is hard enough. Losing weight while staying healthy and happy is even harder. But I know it's possible. The 5-Day Miracle Diet: Conquer Food Cravings, Lose Weight, and Feel Better Than You Ever Have in Your Life! by Adele Puhn can help.
