In part one, the first three chapters of this book, you’ll learn why it can seem so difficult to lose weight and keep it off. But we only want to make you aware of the challenges before we show you how to overcome them. In this section, you’ll also learn about the basic elements of The Cut. We designed it to help anyone, of any age, shed body fat and keep it off—for good. In the “Making the Cut” stories you’ll meet many real-life people just like you who followed The Cut and lost staggering amounts of weight in just 12 weeks. And in chapter 2, we’ll debunk common fitness, nutrition, and weight loss myths—and educate you about the only way to keep your body lean for life.
