The Straight Diet is a plan that doesn't promise fast results or effortless changes but will help you achieve your weight loss and nutrition goals. Diets that work don't deliver results overnight and they do require difficult (but manageable) changes. With patience and perseverance you will reach your weight loss goal and stay there.
The Straight Diet is a 9 week plan that emphasizes making 
changes slowly and getting used to them before moving on to the next step. This way, you won't be bombarded with new routines that you've never had to live by. Changing is easier if you have time to adjust and The Straight Diet gives you that extra time.
Follow the directions for the week that you are on. You might be tempted to skip ahead if you have already grasped the concept but giving yourself more time will allow you to fully adjust to the weekly changes. If you feel like you need more time to adjust to the changes take it but don't stay on one week for too long.
