sxc.hu: mattox
I recently asked about the challenges you face when trying to live a healthy lifestyle — thank you so much for your help.
Your queries and comments have been really useful, and I’ve been trying to combine these ideas, with the comments and emails I get on a regular basis, to help you out.
For a long time I’ve been working on a guide, that would be beneficial to the vast majority of people, who are trying to live a healthy lifestyle.
The Book
So today, I want to tell you about this exciting project, “The Healthy Eating Handbook.”
This is a step-by-step guide to help you…
- Understand what “healthy eating” actually means in a practical sense.
- Transform the eating habits of you and your family.
- Plan, prepare, and enjoy your meals each and every day.
- Significantly reduce your grocery shopping bill.
- Learn from my mistakes and experiences.
Basically, it’s healthy eating made easier than you thought possible.
The guide contains lots of tips and tricks, which can be implemented instantly.
The book also comes packaged with:
- The Healthy Eating Workbook — so you can begin applying the practical instruction from the book.
- The Healthy Eating Fridge Memory Chart — to remind you of the key principles in the book.
- The Healthy Eating Meal Planner — to help you get planning healthy meals right away.
- The Healthy Eating Meal Plans — containing two sample menu plans.
- Healthy Eating Recipe Ideas — with over 50 recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, and snacks.

Get it ALL for free…
I want to give away a free pre-release copy to one my loyal readers.

The person who best expresses their need to have a handbook like this, will win a free copy. That’s it, very simple!
It’ll probably take you about 3 minutes. 3 minutes to potentially change the rest of your life!
The competition closes Tuesday, the 14th September 2010, 6 p.m. GMT.

What a great project and what an exciting result! I would love to have a copy of the Healthy Eating Handbook.
I have been struggeling with weight issues all my life. From very early years I have been highly obese and tried one diet after the other. I have finally arrived at a normal weight but keep going through weeks of uncontrollable eating followed by weeks of radical 500kcal diets. I have to get my life back in order and desperately need some help. Your book could finally help me understand what it takes to eat healthily. Please help.

Hi Melanie:
Love your website, thanks for all you do. Your handbook would be a fantastic tool to help many. Our whole family has weight issues. Most of all I believe it would help me on this journey of chronic illness. I have pulmonary arterial hypertension (high pressure in the lungs) secondary to scleroderma. You get short of breathe and easily tire. Healthy nutrition and light to moderate exercise are paramount to managing chronic disease. Would definitely share with other members of our PH support group. Thank you for this consideration.

For the past 20 years I have struggled to lose weight. I literally have tried everything with the same result–initial weight loss then gaining it all back. I have made peace with my body and now just want to eat healthy. The problem is, I no longer know what a balanced healthy meal looks like. I have turned to the internet to try and re-learn what normal healthy eating is. Dietriffic’s Healthy Eating Guide will be instrumental in my journey to be healthy and love life.

I am 57 years old and have been overweight since I started having children 35 years ago. My husband left me this year, and I thought that as part of becoming a better person, I would take my health into my own hands. I have lost 35 pounds, am doing yoga and riding my bicycle, but I really am not eating that healthily yet, and could use your guide to further educate myself to make this my HEALTHIEST year ever, foundation for my healthiest life ever.

I am 34 years old and am the heaviest I have ever been. I desperately want to lose weight, but I have no idea where to begin. I have a lot of really bad habits when it comes to eating (overeating, out of control portions, snacking, and my real nemesis, emotional eating) I also eat a lot of junk food and processed food. At this point, healthy eating seems impossible. I have spent so much money on diet books. But I have yet to find one that makes me say “Okay, I can do this!” I would like a copy of your book in order to gain some direction and guidance about healthy eating.

hi,
You book sounds very interesting.
I’m 20Kg overweight. I “know” about healthy eating in theory, but with hectic work, I do not have enough time to cook. A practical book would be great, specially with the workbook and planner.
Thank you for thinking of this.

I would really love a copy of this book. I started a Chub Club in our church and I have many people signed who have no idea of how to eat healthy. I have been trying to get them going and this book would definitely help. Thanks so much.

Twelve years ago, I had my last child while I had gestational diabetes which was controlled via diet. Six weeks after giving birth, I weigh 135 pounds. That was 30 pounds less than when I got pregnant. At 5′ 6″, that was a great weight for me. In the subsequent 12 years, I have eaten my way up to 210 pounds. I have recently found out that my C-Reactive protein level is way elevated as well as psoriasis and the arthritis that can go along with that. My LDL and HDL numbers need to switch positions and my blood pressure is now consistently 137/87. I will be going in for blood tests next week and will find out if I have finally managed to eat my way into diabetes. I am proud of none of this. I could really use some help and encouragement to get myself healthy so I am around for many years to come. Your New Healthy Living Guide could be very useful to me.

I am due to complete a Bachelor of Physical Education and health in November 2010, i love exercise and keeping healthy which is why i have gone in to teaching as i want to educate young people today the importance of being healthy from a young age. My last teaching placement i did i found your website to be helpful in teaching about nutrition, healthy eating tips, exercise etc and my students absolutely loved it. I would love to get a copy of the healthy eating handbook for myself, in order to keep me healthy along with helping others, as i often get people asking m how they can lose weight. This book would be a fantastic way for me to help change peoples way of life!!! Thanks

Hiya – I have started to lose weight, have joined a gym and eating healthily, but this book looks to offer a way to avoid my particular downfall – lack of organisation! I find that if my menu is not organised it becomes difficult to make sure that I am eating the right amounts of the right foods. I think having the right tools is so important to success in most things, weight loss and a healthy lifestyle included, I mean, why make it harder than it needs to be?

I am learning all I can to be proactive for my health in areas that I can control . I have several serious health problems. Nutritional difficiencies impact my body due to my not having a colon. I have only a small intestine; this has resulted in my having malabsorbtion. The more I learn the better I can prepare for my own nutrition, and that of my husband. We both need to greatly increase how many fruits and vegetables we consume daily. Dietrific’s book “The Healthy Eating Guide” would be a highly useful tool towards reaching these important goals.

As a Nutrition and Supplement Consultant, I believe one can never have to much information, ideas, and knowledge when it comes to health. I am constantly telling my clients that your health is the ONE area of your life that you have control over. Mind/Body- your thoughts and the foods you choose to put in your mouth! Great resource and I am a supporter of anyone who is sincere in spreading health information.

Hi Melanie
First, God bless you. You are really so wonderful and helpful for all people worldwide seeking a better lifestyle. I wish I could get your step-by-step guide book, not only for me, but also for my family and close friends, as a healthy reference for all of us and for generations to come.
Thank you in advance.

Hey Melanie – first let me say I really appreciate your positive attitude and continued encouragement. I just recently quit WW because the online diet program was a nightmare to try and follow, and the shop nearest me doesn’t have meeting times I can make. Every time I popped into one of the chat rooms it seemed some 1 was excited and everyone else was carping.
My 16 year old daughter and I are both obese. It breaks my heart for her because she is beautiful inside and out. I feel responsible for her poor eating habits and well, I am sick and tired of awarding myself worst mom of the year! I really want to break out of the mindset that says we are stuck here!
Heredity has taken over and I’m ready to tell Heredity that we have a slim athletic side to our genes! I feel your book would give us something positive to focus on as we step up to the challenge of changing our eating and moving lifestyle!
Thanks for the opportunity, Peace, Jamie

I am 21 and really struggling to lose weight. Having been diagnosed with PCOS when I was 12 and now looking at having a Thyroid problem, I have battled with my weight for most of my life. It is now time to do something about my weight and I’m hoping that your Step-by-step book will put me in the right direction and not only help me lose weight but help me to learn about healthy eating…

Hi Melanie!
First of all thank you for making a difference through your fab site!
I would really appreciate a copy of your new Healthy Eating Handbook. As a busy working mum of 2 kids, I struggle to make the right eating choices even though I am convinced of their benefits. Your book will not only help me to set the good eating habits for the entire family, but it will also help me educate my children and impart good eating habits in them while they are still small. I want my children to grow up with good eating habits amongst other values.
Thank you,
Regards,
Kiran

Hi Melanie
I would really love a copy of your new Healthy Eating Handbook as I am going on the journey of changing my lifestyle to eat better and exercise more not only to lose the weight I need to but I have also decided to take it one step further and have now enrolled to undertake the necessary qualifications to become a personal trainer so I can help others like me who are struggling with losing weight and to help them learn to eat healthy and exercise. This book would help me that one step further in my learning of eating right.
Thanks Kylie

Mel, your book is exactly what I need to get started with a sensible healthy eating plan & to keep me on the right track when I waver. The planning & recipes are both something I’ve been looking for guidance with for ages & the fact that it suits the whole family will make the new way of eating even more user friendly. Thank you for all your motivational emails & good advice!

Being a lady who’s always struggling with weight issues and body image problems, this book would really help me clear my doubts about what healthy eating really is and teach my family and myself more about how to be healthy and eventually achieve a positive body image and allow me to stop having a low self-esteem and also boosting my confindence in myself.

Hello—
I have been out of work for eighteen months. Being quite down, I have had more than my share of fish and chips, pizza and many, many pints of the foamy. One morning, got up, said enough is enough, starting eating oatmeal for breakfast, home made soups and tons of salads. I have done a bit of walking and in five weeks, I have dropped 21 pounds. 60 more pounds to go. Any help you could offer me would be appreciated.

Hi Melanie,
I have become only a recent subscriber to your newsletter and I love your practical advices and more so, that you take the trouble to reach out to us on what issues we are facing and how we can tackle them.
I am a full time working mom to 2 kids, and through some on-and-off exercising, I am now at a decent weight. But I have been in a plateau for the last 7 months, and just am unable to kick off the last 15 pounds. I am really looking for tips and tricks that will help me reach the target and maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle. Since time is a constraint, if there are practical ideas out there that can be incorporated for the entire family, that would be so welcome!!
I would love to receive a copy of this Handbook; it sounds exciting and just what I need now!
