   Anyone who comes into contact with Reality Fitness owner Nicki Anderson will immediately notice something very obvious about this woman: she is arguably the most passionate and caring fitness expert you’ll ever meet and isn’t afraid to share exactly what it takes to beat your obesity and whip your body into tip-top condition. I’ve had the privilege of speaking with Nicki on the phone interviewing her for my “Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show” podcast and we’ve had many e-mail exchanges over the past few years discussing many of the concepts you will read about in her Single-Step Weight Loss Solution book. Years of working directly with clients who she has seen results with give her the confidence that these are things that can and will work for you too if you are willing to put forth the effort to make them happen in your life.

   Many of the “101 No-Nonsense Tips for Healthy Living, Weight Loss, and a Diet-Free Life” she talks about in the book look familiar to anyone who has attempted to lose weight in the past — eat breakfast everyday, drink plenty of water, eat only until you are satisfied, consume lots of fiber, exercise regularly, and be patient through the process. These are all things we’ve heard before, right? But Nicki doesn’t leave us with the same old, same old and nothing revolutionary.

   Some of the more interesting advice includes stop dieting, stop counting calories, eat more protein for weight loss, eat for your health and not for weight loss, quality of calories is more important than quantity, embrace interval training, create healthy expectations that are attainable, and so much more! There’s a fresh nugget of information on each one-page tip. You could almost read this book like a daily devotional and focus solely on these concepts one-by-one. Learn it, love it, live it!

   My favorite part of Nicki Anderson’s Single-Step Weight Loss Solution is where she addresses the most common nutrition and exercise myths that people believe for whatever reason. Things like eating at night is bad for you, consuming yogurt is great for weight loss, all fats are bad, eating vegetarian is healthy for your weight loss efforts, eating nuts are fattening, eating red meat will harm you and prevent weight loss, doing hours of cardio will shed body fat, muscle weighs more than fat, eat lots of small meals to lose fat, no pain no gain, running on the treadmill will produce quick weight loss and all kinds of other stupid dogmatic beliefs people have. Nicki busts them all and backs it up with proven science that she has researched for herself and seen directly in her clients over the past three decades.

   If ever you needed a cheerleader in your corner as you take on the weight loss challenge in your own life, then Nicki Anderson is just what the doctor ordered. Sporting her cute but ever-so-true pink “Dieting Sucks!” T-shirt on the front cover of this book will remind you of the enormous changes that are about to happen for you as you embark on a real journey to better health like you’ve never experienced before. Let Nicki guide you on the pathway to success!
