    About this series

    Since I wrote "Why We Eat...and why we keep eating – the path to food independence", I have counseled hundreds of people through my website and in my private practice. I have been asked many questions not addressed in my original work. In addition, I have continued to do research and keep up with the very latest studies going on all over the world. I have compiled the results of all those interviews, consultations, reviews and research into this compendium. I wasn't sure what the content or format of the book would be when I began. But I never thought it would turn out to be almost a hundred pages longer than the original. It only confirms that the amount of nutritional information is continuing to increase at an exponential rate. The articles, and what I call tid-bits, compiled here are at the cutting edge of scientific awareness. I think you will be appreciative as well as amazed as to the diversity and depth of knowledge accumulated.

    If you're ready to succeed; to lead the life you have dreamed of, to attain lasting health, then get ready. You failed because you relied on information that was decades old. You can and will succeed once you get on the right path; a path lined by the facts.

      Since 1950, the amount of nutritional information available to the public has roughly doubled every seven years.  During that same period (1950-2000), obesity rose by 214% until today, where 64.5 percent of adult Americans (about 127 million) are categorized as being overweight or obese.  In that light, one might conclude that there is a direct correlation between knowledge of obesity and obesity itself.   The point is people aren't foolish.  They know that a salad is better for them than a pizza; that grilled chicken is better than a smothered burrito; that tofu is better than hamburger; that fresh fruits and vegetables are better than candy bars and French fries.  People are swimming in information.  They are anesthetized by information.  More has not, and will not, lead to enlightened behavior, less craving for food, or improved health.   The strategy of focusing on what we eat is turning people away from the real problem.  That message has been unsuccessful for decades.  Further studies, weight loss programs, and media emphasis on the same note, will not bring the desired results.  The first and foremost question to ask is why we eat.   Early man ate only enough to satisfy his appetite.  People today continue to eat beyond the point of satiation for a very different reason: to gain euphoric feeling through the chemicals released by the foods we consume.  And what are these chemicals that are so powerful as to induce behaviors that are sometimes irrational and often detrimental to our health and continued evolution?  Endorphins.    Endorphins are neurochemicals in the body that reward us with a euphoric feeling when we interact with certain stimuli such as food.  Endorphins are at the very core of all of our motivations.  The satisfaction or pleasure we derive from our pursuit of stimuli is measured by endorphin release.    There are, in fact, four OTHER ways to trigger their release.  And while food may be the quickest and most accessible means of generating this response, in actually it produces the most fleeting effect.  The other methodologies are expanded upon in the body of the text, revolutionizing the way we will attack obesity in this country.

      True health and happiness are achieved by growing physically stronger, intellectually more competent, and emotionally more balanced every day. This book provides, in the course of a single day's instructions, precisely what to do to attain and maintain that state of being. There is no lasting success without all three aspects in balance in our lives simultaneously. They cannot be separated. Any philosophy that suggests that one alone can bring success is a false prophesy. For most people, life is analogous to a person sitting on a stool with one leg; we keep being buffeted by the winds of materialism, externality, and physical temptations. But rather than grow more legs under our stool, we just keep getting up and resetting It, somehow convincing ourselves, hoping, believing that the winds will blow no more. Personal relationships, exercise, relating to others in a meaningful way, creative work, continuing education, interaction with nature, developing our inner self or spiritual nature . . .all of these represent legs for our stools.  The Perfect Day will show you how to build those legs and how to strengthen them every day.  The winds of change will no longer buffet you and knock your life out of control.

      It has now been proven definitively that obesity, and many other serious illnesses, are not genetic! In my book I explain, delineate, and share: The science of methylation is revealed in layman's terms. All the illnesses (beyond obesity) that a methylation diet can influence are explored. The specific foods and supplements that suppress the hunger gene are placed in a simple, doable program. The very best recipes ever assembled – to insure that readers will gain the maximum amount and diversity of nutrients that act as "methyl donors." This scientific breakthrough is presented for the first time in layman's' language and provides all the specifics to succeed where individuals have only failed before.

    Jeffry Weiss

    BIOGRAPHY Mr. Weiss attended Central High School, at the time recognized as the top High School academically in the U.S.  He then attended Drexel University where he gained a BS in History, Temple University where he earned an MA in Economics and the University of Pennsylvania where he received an MA in International Affairs.  Those studies provided him with unique insights in the realm of foreign policy, military capabilities, détente, and trade. He has been a writer for forty plus years and has penned hundreds of articles on social, political, and economic issues.  He has written position papers for the Carter and Clinton Administrations and his work on social issues has received recognition directly from the office of the President of México.  He speaks regularly with Noam Chomsky on political, economic, cultural, and military issues. Mr. Weiss writes political, military, economic and scientific thrillers.  There are now twelve books in the Paul Decker series.  All his stories come right off the front pages of the major magazines and newspapers but none of his plots has ever found their way into novel before.  His characters are ones readers can relate to: flawed, not superheroes.  His stories do not require a leap of faith or use deus ex machina. Finally, he has written a stage play, “Einstein at the Guten Zeiten (good times) Beer Garden, and an urban horror novel: “The Art of Theft”, a modern day version of “The Picture of Dorian Grey” by Oscar Wilde.
