The ½ Plan: This is NOT a Diet Fad, It is a Lifestyle Change

America’s problem with obesity is accepting a lifestyle of overeating, inactivity and need for instant gratifi cation. Th e ½ Plan is a step-by-step, how-to guide to retrain your lifestyle to lose weight. With my experience as a Physician Assistant, treating patients on a daily basis, I will guide you on how to change your lifestyle, habit by habit. Each new change will be implemented every 2 weeks. Th is will allow you time to “practice” the change in your daily routine, so it will eventually become a habit. Each change will come with practical suggestions on how to implement it. Because each change builds on each other, you will be building a healthier lifestyle at the same time as you are losing weight. Th e changes are realistic and sustainable. Fad diets serve as a band-aid for the weight problem. What needs to be done is to change the underlying problem of living an unhealthy lifestyle. Are you ready to make the change?
