The 3-hour Diet is absolutely safe - in fact it's not a diet, it's a lifestyle! Once you reach your goal weight, you just adjust the portion sizes slightly to maintain that optimal weight.

I'm not against working out. It's just not effective for weight loss. I like strength training to tone and firm the body so you look tight. But working out just makes you hungrier.

In our world, 80 to 90 percent of women's weight gain comes from overindulging in insulin-stimulating food. And it's not hardcore, straight-up, I-can-see you-in-the-face sugar. They're eating whole-wheat bread. They're eating ancient grains. They're eating black beans. That stuff is horrible.

The only secret to food combination is a balance of protein, carbs and fat - they all play a key role in our health.

You have to be a mindful eater. There has to be intention in what you do in your life if youre going to be happy and authentic. Food isnt supposed to be entertainment in the way that your kids, your work, and your relationship are.

Remember that setbacks are only challenges in disguise. Look at them as lessons . . . don't waste time beating yourself up. Just get back on track and focus on what you want. It's up to you , and you will do it!

If you want to lose weight, whole-wheat bread, couscous, and quinoa are evil.
