Effective long term weight loss is about psychology not biology - we loose weight with our minds not our mouths.

A study by UCLA discovered that almost all diets don’t work. The main reasons for this are:

• Deprivation diets (you can’t eat that!) are counter productive

• Sustained weight loss requires a permanent change in eating habits not a temporary change

• Strict and restrictive menu diets will not produce long term results as you can’t stay on them forever

But the main reason why the majority of diets fail is simply this: most diets focus on changing the food input to your body for a period of time to cause a biological change i.e. weight loss – but effective long term weight loss is about psychology not biology – we lose weight with our minds not our mouths.

The Geek Diet works by giving your mind control over your eating – simple rules that you can apply in any situation – at home, at work, at a restaurant and crucially: at the shelf edge while shopping– to make good choices about what you eat in order to meet your weight loss goals and maintain your target weight.

The Geek Diet isn't about what you eat, but how you eat; it's a rules-based diet that just makes sense... No silly point-based formulae, just straight-forward rules that, if stuck to, change the balance of the equation.  It's a $5 download or a $10 Lulu.com printing, it'll take you 15 minutes to read, and it might just change everything. Ken Denmead, Wired.com Geek Dad

Rather than using a point system or tracking calories in the cubicle, geeks trust simple mathematical formulas designed with their own goals in mind, as their window to weight loss.  The Geek Diet, a new weight loss book by Mark Faithfull, describes a few of these formulas... We loved your dieting formulas especially and found them geektastic. 

Overall, the simplicity of the rules is very appealing and makes the Geek Diet seem like something which could be applied to everyday life without much difficulty. I like the fact that it deliberately aims at helping you create a workable eating plan that you can stick to for the long term.

a taste of the geek diet

The Geek Diet is the break-through weight loss system for geeks (and non-geeks alike!).  It is:

RULES BASED (no need to follow strict menus, just eat what you like while following simple rules such as: half of what you eat must be fruit and vegetables)

EASY TO APPLY (you can follow the geek diet no matter where or when you eat, at home, at work or in a restaurant - no counting calories, points or sins!)

EFFECTIVE (The geek diet is grounded in science fact and builds on principles of weight loss and psychology proven by experiment and research. You can follow the footnotes to dig deeper if you want- but you don’t have to)

HOW IT WORKS

what the readers say

there's definitely been a positive impact on my energy levels. It's also brought some eating habits to my attention like the increasing plate/portion size, and watching TV whilst mindlessly putting food in my mouth. I now think about which plate to serve food in before each meal. Also really enjoyed reading the rules as simple formulas, made it much easier to remember!

I really think it’s great, and most people will find it incredibly useful!
