Diet Analysis: Open the Door to the Truth About Your Dieting Habits!

The Analysis
You never find yourself until you face the truth.

MY DIVA DIET Analysis Overview
Every smart and successful woman who truly wants to improve significant personal areas of her life—the development of her character, relationships with others, her spiritual life—or who wants to see progress in more pragmatic areas—her career, financial planning, time management—will always begin with a thorough evaluation of her current condition. It is no different for women who want to transform their bodies into lean, healthy, sexy, more functional machines.

“Here is where we become accountable!”



We start to become true Diva Dieters by changing our eating habits, and this type of change requires a complete and honest diet analysis. A diet analysis is a very powerful tool for five reasons:

1. It gives you a true and precise picture of exactly what kinds of foods you’re consuming (i.e. becoming aware of what you are putting into your body).
2. It will help you examine your overall eating and exercising practices.
3. It will reveal your strengths and weaknesses in specific areas of health & fitness.
4. It will ultimately help you create a new lifestyle incorporating proper eating and exercise.
5. It will serve as a tool to guide and keep you in line for the long term.

Think of your diet analysis as a map indicating “you are here.” It will tell you where you are, how far you need to go, and how long your transformation process will take. This is the beginning of your success. After your analysis, you should seek accurate knowledge on how to change, and then you need to implement whatever changes are necessary. We know you have the courage to do so!
