TUCSON, AZ, March 10, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- When the first automobile was invented (with a combustible engine) by Henry Ford, personal freedom of movement was put into the hands of ordinary citizens. No longer did someone have to rely on a horse (for example) to move from one city to another. Also, people started being more in control of how they spent their time since they had more of it by not spending so much traveling or waiting for trains to arrive. Henry Ford simply combined some ideas that were already in the environment to create a product that could be easily produced and sold to the masses.
A book called The Pen and Paper Diet has done a similar life changing action in regards to weight management. When pen, paper, a personal daily calorie budget and once a month weight measurement is combined, "the synergistic effect is hard to describe," says Michael Dow, author of the book. "What makes this even more helpful is that it only takes about 3 minutes a day."
Below is a list of things that occur:
Personal Control of weight
Increased self-confidence by doing this yourself (instead of using an online calorie calculator)
Freedom to eat the types of food you like (although you can do this diet with any diet since it's based on math)
Freedom to choose exercises that are enjoyable and still get your heart rate up
Freedom to choose when you exercise (although we should all progress to exercising 3-5 times a week for 30 minutes each time like Doctors recommend)
No obsession with calories (write it down and forget about it until just before dinner)
No obsession with weight (daily weight measurements not required)
Increased self-awareness on consumption
Cheap health insurance (by maintaining a healthy weight)
Potential to detect a new illness (by keeping The Pen and Paper Diet, significant weight loss or gain can be easily detected so you can inform your Doctor who may want to perform some blood tests)
Stability and order in the midst of a chaotic life
"Some people that eat healthy and exercise a lot may not want to try this. They have learned to tame their horse and enjoy the daily and weekly challenges. For the rest of us, we could use a car in regards to weight management and The Pen and Paper Diet provides that solution."
