Read on to find out.
I visited my doctor the other day and we got to talking about my
books. (Well, I am a writer after all, what should it have been?
talking about? The weather?!?)
Anyway, I mentioned to him that I had written ‘The Easy Way to Diet’.
and that it was about losing weight effortlessly using a
combination of written exercises and visualizations for a month. Not only was he intrigued, he immediately canceled his mornings.
dating so we can talk about it! (She later she asked
write a foreword for the book – I so strongly wanted to endorse
en – more on that later.)
Dr. James Moxham MD made me a coffee and we got down to talking.
We talked about the state of the diet industry and how
large corporations and media giants benefit from the fact that
dieting doesn’t work.
Dr. Moxham and I discussed how the body reacts to diet,
store more fat, which makes it more difficult to lose and
more or less guaranteeing that you will actually GAIN weight after a
diet. It was his experience of his patients – and mine personally –
and something that he had despaired of trying to fight for the many
years he had been in practice.
Dr. Moxham also agreed with me that it was most likely that the
prevalence of processed foods in our diets that was causing the
onslaught of dietary diseases such as colon cancer, obesity and
premature heart disease in our society.
He also agreed that diet pills (which he admitted were basically
legalized ‘speed’) were also not particularly effective. Cast
the final option, stomach stapling, was not only potentially very
dangerous but completely inappropriate for certain types of
compulsive eaters
It seemed like there was nothing we disagreed on!
But at this stage we were really only talking about the first part.
of my book I was encouraged. I had written my book without
consulting medical sources – I wrote it from the heart, based on
on my instincts and experiences, so it was validating to know that
You were right about so many things.
Here I had the opportunity to test the ideas that I expressed in the second
half of the book. I jumped.
I asked him, ‘So what do you think about the idea that you can ‘write
you thin’?’
He smiled, but I could see he was curious. ‘What do you mean
exactly Rob?
I told him that I had developed a set of 31-day written exercises and
visualizations that effectively reprogrammed the brain in
thinking like a skinny person. I added that everyone who tried it
has lost weight.
Dr. Moxham smiled. ‘Now you’re playing into the hands of cognitive
therapists,’ he said enthusiastically. ‘This is exactly what
Behavioral psychologists have been bending the ears of doctors for
the last decade!’
He explained that in the medical profession it is common knowledge
It takes about 28 days to change a lifelong habit. Everyone
what you needed was to focus on the goal – the new you – make positive
affirmations and meditate on the result for about 4 weeks and,
voila, an old lifestyle can be changed, forever. He told me
it’s the same principle that drug rehab centers use to convert drug addicts
around.
‘So what if,’ I asked, ‘I told you that my weight-loss program
it only took five minutes to complete? Five minutes, three times a
day, no diet, no exercise, and no drugs?’ He said, laughing, ‘It seems to me, Rob, that you have invented the latest
easy way to diet!’
Since then, James has read my book in its entirety and has only
praise for it.
This is some of what he has to say:
‘Rob, I really can’t adequately express my admiration for your book.
and program… There is nothing within these pages that I – or my
colleagues in the clinic – can find fault. your logic is
flawless and the program itself is so easy to follow, I can’t see
how someone could NOT lose weight using your system. ‘Not only do I wholeheartedly endorse his system, if he were up to
me, I would give a copy of your book to each of my
patients inquiring about maintaining permanent weight loss.
‘Yours is the most practical, indeed life-saving, book on dieting that I have ever
I have ever read.

I’m obviously very pleased with my doctor’s support, but,
Really, I see this as just the beginning. You may think I’m crazy
but I sincerely believe that the Easy Way to Diet program will appear on Oprah,
Dr. Phil and Larry King someday – I’m so sure you can make a
profound impact on the way our society views food and diet.
So what’s with sunsets, strawberry popsicles, and your first kiss?
in common?
Well, they’re all pleasurable, life-enhancing experiences, just like
those you need to focus on while losing weight.
The trick to dieting is that I believe I am happy, well, and always
expect the best for you. And let the weight take care of itself.
