Foreword to The Hiller Method Revision III by Chet Day
I've been studying natural health since 1993, and by April of 2002 I really thought I'd pretty much seen everything there was to see in weight loss programs.

Then I stumbled upon the website for The Hiller Method.

Intrigued by the testimonies of success as well as the reasonable price, I decided to run a few test ads for John Hiller's innovative program in my health and recipe newsletters.

As I expected, many dieters who were sick unto death of yoyoing with their weight tried The Hiller Method. What I didn't anticipate, however, were the many positive testimonies that started arriving in my mailbox on a daily basis, reports like…

"I am very sure I have lost a pound a week. I've been on the program for about two months, and I've lost eleven pounds. It has been a down and up and down again thing, so I've gotten accustomed to the scale going back and forth a bit, but even with its back and forthing, it is definitely a downward trend, so I'm encouraged."

My friend, this is real weight loss - not the typical five pounds water loss that comes at the beginning of most diets, pounds you'll put back on faster than you can close one diet book and open up another one.

You see, with The Hiller Method (if you practice it properly and diligently), you can count on a safe, steady, and lasting evaporation of flab. And, as a side effect, if you're like most Hiller Method graduates you'll also experience improved digestion, better bowel function, reduced hunger, heightened self-esteem, and overall happiness.

Who could ask for more?

In closing, let me say one thing. The Hiller Method is so simple some people won't give it a fair try because they'll say to themselves, "I already know this." Yes, they know it, but I can promise you they don't practice it. Because if they did practice The Hiller Method in their lives, they wouldn't be looking for a weight loss tool.

The Hiller Method is that good, and it will change your life for the better.

Prologue by John P. Hiller
It has now been little over two years since I have reached and maintained my weight goal, and a year and a half since this document was created.

A lot has happened since then - there has been a tremendous and positive show of feedback by people who have been using THM successfully and are still losing weight on a daily basis. We have created a private forum for THM users as of March 1, 2002, and the forum is growing at some 20 users per day. As we speak it contains over 500 members who encourage, support and chat on a daily basis. I would have never dreamt that my 'little document' as some called it could have had such a profound effect on so many people in such a short time! I feel truly privileged to continue to inspire others to reach their balanced weight like I did. There have been major discussion on and off the forum, and THM has evolved into something bigger than the original method; this prompted me to do a major revision of the original document, resulting in the document you have before you here today. Not only have I learned a lot from feedback received from the great group of THM users (both good and bad), but I did more extensive research on the psychology of weight loss with regards to The Hiller Method. This resulted in a whole new added part to THM, called "The Psychology of weight loss in relation to the CR".

Furthermore, as there have been a lot of frequently asked questions on "how-to", I've added a separate FAQ section for both THM and the ever-troublesome Forum access.

In part I of this document you will find the original version of THM, as I created it in 2001. I did not want to deprive you of initial publication. Keep in mind, however, that THM has progressed and that Part II contains the added work, which goes into the 'Mind aspects' a little deeper, and will give you insight on why THM is so successful.

Enjoy!

John.
