"I feel skinny, toned, and healthier already!"We love hearing when people respond so well in such a short time on The Serotonin Power Diet - if increases your brain serotonin makes you feel good, you will adapt this way of eating for life and it will never feel like a diet. You will want to eat this way for the way it makes you feel AND because it allows you to lose weight and keep it off. &;So, yes, in some way, you can have your cake and eat it, too!Here&;s an email we recently received:"&;have been gaining weight for the past (almost) two years. This had been a very transitional time in my life, so I just "noticed" it and didn&;t do a whole lot about it. During that transition I had started taking anti depressants. As a licensed clinical social worker I knew and practiced the behavioral and cognitive tools to help my depression, but still the symptoms lingered. I relented and tried medication.&;"When my insurance changed and I was going to have to pay $85 dollars for&;Lexapro, I took myself off the medication (I know, I know...) and started researching natural ways I could help my depression. That is how I found The Serotonin Power Diet.&;"I know how to eat healthy. What I am appreciating about the SPD is 1. the structure and 2. I truly do feel full, very full after eating my meals.&;And, I love the insistence that I exercise (not my favorite thing). I have done&;at least&;a half hour of cardio and resistance training everyday. I might be delusional...but, I feel skinny, toned, and healthier already!"- B.K.

on the diet....forever! (because it works)Here&;s what one of our enthusiastic reader says as she&;s been maintaining her weight loss for over a year:"Another month has gone by, and I am still feeling the gratitude for this program and forum. &;I have been able to address the situations in my life that have/had been a source of uneasiness. &;How wonderful it is to be able to stand up for myself instead of turning to food to suppress feelings and fears. &;I have been spending extra time at the gym, as I have been on vacation...another positive influence. &;I recently had lunch at my Mom&;s and when I put back the extra protein, and the bread, explaining I eat my carbs at night, she asked if I was STILL on "that diet". &;Yes, I said, forever!"- B.

50 lb. weight lossOur readers and clients enjoy great success on The Serotonin Power Diet. &;Once you know it works, if you gain back a few pounds, you know how to lose it again. &;Take this reader who wrote:"Hello I have been on this diet since November of 2007 and have lost over 50lbs. I guess you could say I am maintaining now, since Dec. 2008 I have noticed I have gained about 5 lbs. Do you have any suggestions on where I should start to loose that five pounds. Should I go back to phase 1?"Because this is essentially a responsible dieter who wants to maintain her dramatic weight loss and someone who knows how to make The Serotonin Power Diet work for her, the answer is to go back to either phase I for 2 weeks then phase II, or to go directly to phase II. &;Stay in phase II until you reach your desired weight. &; Then go to maintenance. &;With so few pounds to lose and the knowledge of what it takes to keep the weight off, you can skip phase III in this case.&;As this reader did, it&;s important to make sure that a few pounds gained doesn&;t turn into 10, 20, or all you&;ve lost. &;Way to go!
