Three groups of carbohydrates cause most cases of obesity. The Three Rules to Lose Weight and Keep It Off Forever teaches you how to avoid these foods. I consider these carbohydrates addictive, meaning that you should give them up completely. If you follow The Three Rules, you do not need to memorize lists of foods. There is no need to weigh, measure, or count anything. You can read the book and start immediately, with no financial cost. Once you commit your mind to The Rules, you will never have a weight problem again, much like one addicted to drugs or alcohol is recovering as soon as he or she makes the commitment to complete abstinence. You are most likely to succeed in anything if you do it with intent. To lose weight, you must Eat with Intent.
