Cast your cares on God, not the refrigerator! This is the uplifting focus of Julie Morris' Step Forward! Diet. Using a Christian adaptation of the 12 Steps, this book helps individuals get to the emotional roots of their problem with food and find the strength to lose weight by drawing closer to God through Bible study and prayer. Julie Morris' own personal struggle with these emotional roots and her understanding that a closer relationship with God is the key to recovery make her Step Forward! Diet unique. By using content that is "how-to"-oriented and providing a specific plan on how to lose weight and keep it off, the book presents more than just a temporary diet; it provides a permanent weight-loss solution. The author's easy-to-understand, self-help approach combines the latest information on both nutrition and exercise (including a food plan, easy low-fat recipes, and tips for setting up your kitchen and structuring your menus) with ways individuals can tap into God's grace through honest self-reflection, Bible study, and prayer to find the strength to change--one day at a time
