Back Cover Review:
One year ago, I read Chantel’s book Never Say Diet. That book introduced me to her common-sense approach to exercise and nutrition. One idea from her stuck with me all year…show up to exercise each day like it’s the job you’ve always wanted.

This year, I took her challenge and implemented much of what she suggested. Only seven months later, I had lost the weight that I set out to. I now weigh about twenty pounds less and am eating better than I have since I left home 16 years ago. And for the first time in my life – I love to exercise!

The One-Day Way includes some of her same ideas – but takes many aspects of it one step further and, most importantly, one day at a time. I still want to kick my workouts up a notch – or several notches. Her encouragement to do a new exercise for thirty minutes one day or to work out for an extra fifteen minutes with increased intensity in intervals are some very practical ways to do this. She also addresses the topic of learning to not let food have control over you – something that I still need help with. One thing that she encourages the reader to do, among other things, is to fast from one meal once a week to break the power of food over your life.

Another unique approach – and I don’t know how any diet could be successful any other way – is her concept of rewarding yourself on a weekly basis. I know for myself, if I choose to not eat something for an extended amount of time (for example: chocolate), when I finally do, I over-indulge. From my experience this past year, if you are “rewarding” yourself on a regular basis, you are less likely to over-do it!

This book is the next best thing to having a personal trainer. Chantel writes in such a relational way that you just might feel like you have one anyway!
