Atkins, the Hollywood Diet, the Cabbage Soup Diet, the Grapefruit Diet – chance are, you’ve tried them all. And you know from experience that they just don’t work. There aren’t any quick fixes.

But that’s OK! Better to lose weight slowly, sensibly and permanently than to drop pounds overnight, feel irritable and deprived, then gain the weight right back – and feel even worse.

During his years of struggle with obesity, Ron made every mistake in the book, so he knows the pain and frustration of yo-yo dieting. Fortunately, after much trial and error and an intense study of nutritional science, he also learned what truly works. “My philosophy is not about deprivation but abundance - eating frequent meals of quality food,” Ron says. It’s also about creating lifelong habits that lead to lasting success. “Trust me: anyone can learn to adopt these habits. It doesn’t matter how many diets you have failed on. If you’re committed, you can change!”

Ron’s nutritional program is comprehensive, yet it all boils down to one goal: starving your fat cells while feeding your muscle cells. “By choreographing your food intake, you can control your metabolism to burn unwanted fat,” Ron says. Carb Lean, Protein Strong explains precisely how to accomplish this goal.

With Ron as your nutrition coach – either in person or via his book – you will:

• Take emotional inventory. What emotions do you feel when you binge on ice cream or eat half a pizza? Once you identify the various emotions associated with your eating behaviors, you can begin to change them. Ron will teach you to improve your internal dialgue, scripting positive emotions and rejecting the beliefs that create negative energy and lead to destructive eating habits.
• Track your eating habits. You can’t change your habits until you have a firm grasp of what they are. Ron’s Nutrition Inventory Questionnaire will make you accountable for what you eat and drink over the course of a month. With this valuable information in writing, you’ll develop the ability to mentally inventory the foods and beverages you consume daily.
• Learn to control insulin. Insulin is the hormone that shifts metabolism into fat-storage mode. By controling insulin, you control your ability to lose weight and stay healthy. The key is restricting refined carbohydrates – candy, soda, cake, even fruit and juice - and regulating the time and frequency of your meals. Ron will explain how to balance carbs, fat, protein and alcohol to keep your insulin and blood-sugar levels in check.
• Understand the glycemic index. The GI is a valuable weight-loss tool, ranking carbohydrates on a scale from 1 to 100 according to their inmmediate effect on blood sugar levels. White potatoes have a GI of 98, causing your blood-sugar (glucose) level to skyrocket; beans rate a 15, which means they release glucose gradually into the bloodstream. Ron will explain how the GI can help you.
• Appreciate the power of water. Water is the single most important catalyst in losing weight and keep it off. It is absolutely vital to digestion and a healthy metabolism. Ron will explain how much water it takes to stay in fluid balance on a daily basis.
• Determine the right amount of protein for you. Your protein requirement will vary accorrding to your genetics and lifestyle. Ron will help you figure out where you fall on the protein continuum. He will also explain the concept of “clean protein,” the type that is so vital for good health and weight loss. Sorry, bacon, sausage and cheese don’t cut it! But go ahead and serve yourself fish, poultry and lean cuts of beef.
