Eat Stop Eat: the "no diet" way to lose weight for good -- and keep it off

Lose weight and keep it off in 2008 – special help

by angela.booth on December 19, 2007

Here we are with the Christmas holiday round of parties in full swing. What about your diet? If you’re like most of us, you’ve decided that you’ll indulge over the holidays and will get back to weight loss in 2008.

You’ll make “lose weight” your number one, high priority New Year’s resolution…

If you’re remember how many New Year’s resolutions you’ve actually kept, fear not. 2008 will be different.

Mark your calendar for this special offer of help. Really Think You Can ‘Lose 30 Pounds In 30 Days?’ Survey Shows More Than One-Third of Americans Cannot Separate Help From Hype says: “To help overweight adults distinguish fact from fiction at this pivotal time of year, alli(R) is providing free access to thousands of hours worth of weight-loss advice from healthcare professionals. As the Harris Interactive survey shows, dieters value such support, but rarely take advantage of it: three quarters (73 percent) of U.S. adults who plan to make a serious attempt to lose weight in 2008 believe that outside help from a dietitian, pharmacist or other healthcare professional would help them achieve their weight-loss goals, but only a fraction (17 percent) of these adults plan to seek such support.”

From January 4 – 7, 2008, alli will sponsor “Make This Year Different,” a weight-loss event designed to ease some of the barriers to seeking expert advice on weight-loss issues and to help overweight adults benefit from the counsel of healthcare professionals. This guidance may help to make this year different for anyone who has tried ineffective weight-loss strategies in the past, or who is simply confused by the influx of weight-loss claims at this time of year.

People 18+ can call 866-551-DIFFERENT between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. EST to speak live with a dietitian or pharmacist, or to hear pre-recorded diet, nutrition, behavioral and exercise tips. The recorded information is also available before and after help-line hours, and will remain accessible through January 31, 2008.

You can do it. Make 2008 the year you lose weight for good.
