By changing the way you think, you change the way you act, the results you get and ultimately the way you feel about yourself and your life. We all behave according to our internal programming, much of it installed early in our childhood. Such programming determines our beliefs, habits and self-identity.

"I was given the opportunity to be trained in the business improvement program called Six Sigma. Six Sigma is an improvement program that systematically improves a business process with decisions made on objective data. I applied the Six Sigma methodology to personal weight loss.

"This book discusses how Six Sigma can be applied to personal weight loss. The book uses my own weight loss experience to illustrate how anyone can apply Six Sigma to his/her own weight loss program. This Six Sigma program is not a stand alone diet, but it is a complementary program to whatever diet plan a person is using. By use of the book's concept, a person will greatly enhance the success of his/her weight loss program.

"The Six Sigma program also addresses how to maintain the weight loss. After achieving weight loss, most people end up putting the weight back on. This book also provides a method to maintain the desired weight level. Following the method discussed in the book, this diet should be the last major diet ever needed."

The world does not need another "how to exercise" book. And this is exactly what this book is not about. Written in a refreshingly humorous and compassionate by the creator of the First Step Program™, the only scientifically proven pedometer-based physical activity intervention, Manpo-Kei™: The Art and Science of Step Counting presents the appealing rationale and the simplistic methods for taking back our naturally active lifestyles using a simple and inexpensive pedometer. The title of the revolutionary little book is a reflection of the Japanese 30-year experience with personal pedometers and lifestyle activity. Nicknamed "manpo-kei" which literally means "10,000 steps meter" in Japanese, the devices were imported to America in the mid-1990's by scientists who used them to determine daily activity levels in research studies. The power that these little instruments have to motivate individuals to increase their activity is just now being acknowledged by these same scientists... it is now time to let the public in on the secret. The author of this book holds nothing back while providing a workbook style content that gently guides the reader through the Manpo-kei™ program of self-monitoring, goal-setting, and personal feedback processes. The author also gives away handy tools including a pedometer shopping list (what to look for), activity logs, and personal feedback worksheets.
