In his own personal weight-loss struggle, David Zulberg turned to the forgotten wisdom of the ancients—Maimonides, Aristotle, Hippocrates, Galen, and even Benjamin Franklin—to find consensus on ideal nutrition for optimum physical and emotional health. After 10 years of studying volume upon volume, Zulberg distilled the teachings of humanity's greatest doctors and philosophers—what he calls the Master Physicians—and discovered something amazing: Ancient doctors already knew what today's medical findings are rediscovering about what's best for human health, weight loss, disease prevention, and psychological well-being. On The 5 Skinny Habits diet plan, you'll harness the best of both worlds—the ancient and the modern—for long-term success. The 5 Skinny Habits explains the ancient understanding of health and its application to our lives in the 21st century with its supersize proportions. There are no forbidden foods or food groups, and you can even enjoy a glass of wine with dinner. Through a close study of ancient sources written by the Master Physicians, Zulberg integrates the spiritual, emotional, and physical components of health and weight loss. Habit changes are at the core of the program. With an easy five-step plan, Zulberg tells readers how to incorporate one habit each week for 5 weeks to achieve a healthier life. His five steps streamline and simplify the process of becoming fit, ensuring that change is made for good. A simple diet diary with positive affirmations and mindfulness makes self-monitoring an effective and enjoyable part of the discovery. By the end of the journey, readers have incorporated the habits into their routines so completely that they are no longer "dieting" but simply living a healthier life.

In addition to the principles our system incorporates the most current nutritional and fitness scientific guidelines.

Behavior Modification: Successful weight loss is not only about losing excess £ds. It's also about acquiring positive eating and lifestyle habits. The Master Physicians write explicitly that many of our bad food choices and bad eating habits originate from our perceptions. It is more than simply an issue of diet and exercise. Current research and psychologists substantiate this opinion. According to the American Psychological Association, both the body and the mind must participate in a successful weight-loss program.1 Most diets concentrate on the food itself with emphasis on outer results. After all, most people want to look better externally. The inner causative process is often ignored. But if you think about it, our actions are simply the physical manifestations of inner motivational forces. To achieve our aim of health and weight management, we need to understand how our minds are involved in our eating habits.
