Ditch the diet roller coaster...
and never regain your weight again…with the effortless weight loss process you can do together
How often have you lost weight, only to regain it and pack on even more weight than before?
I’m Dr. Michael Christensen, and like you, I’ve been on the diet roller coaster most of my life.
While I was never obese, I was always a little heavier than I should be. I’m an international airline pilot, so I can’t be overweight. In the past, before my physicals, I’d manage to lose enough weight to squeak below the maximum weight allowed. But two weeks later I’d be back up again with an added 5 pounds.
Even worse, over the years I watched several close friends and family members go through painful weight-loss surgery. They did lose the weight, but they gained it all back within a year or so. What a traumatic experience.
I don’t want that to happen to you. That’s why I wrote this book.
Praise for 2 Day Gift of Wellness
The 2 Day Gift of Wellness is not a diet book…
The 2 Day Gift of Wellness is not a diet book. In fact, I coined the phrase the UdP ™, or Ultimate diet Process (with a small “d”) because it’s not a diet at all. It’s a lifestyle that promotes health, with weight loss as a by-product.
And it’s based on what the science says, not on the latest fad diets popularized in the media.
The diet industry’s dirty secrets
If you’ve read this far, you’ve mostly likely been on at least one diet that failed. Probably many more.
The diet industry’s dirty secret is that most diets are not sustainable. But the $671 billion a year global weight loss industry isn’t about to tell you that!
They make their money selling you one diet after another.
Here’s the truth: if the first diet worked, why would you need a new one?
Most diets work in the short run because they are based on reducing the amount you eat. You lose weight – temporarily.
But you can’t keep it up, and sooner or later you slip back into your old habits. Then, BAM! The weight comes back with a vengeance.
So what’s the answer?
Wellness, with weight loss as a happy side-effect!
Eat this. Don’t eat that.
Most diets tell you what foods to eat and what to avoid. They also restrict the amount you eat by counting calories or points.
The UdP works on the level of your conscious and unconscious brain. When you try to fight your unconscious brain by reducing your calories, you’ll lose weight in the short run, but your body will win the war soon or later.
Are you willing to give yourself the 2 day gift of wellness?
The 2 Day Gift of Wellness is based on 8 principles of wellness.
Each principle is important on its own, but the strength comes in combining them to make up the UdP.
The heart of the UdP system is the Triple R day: two days a week that you take for yourself to relax and reduce stress.
Reducing stress is vital to rejuvenating, as well as to losing weight, and maintaining your ideal weight once you reach it.
And no, there is no requirement to eat certain foods, or eliminate other foods from your life. When you learn the process of the UdP, you can eat whatever foods you enjoy.
Not exactly like the other diets you’ve tried, is it?
