After years of weighing over 300 pounds, Russell Branjord concluded that, despite his best efforts, eating less and exercising more was not the answer to his weight problem. Now a fitness instructor, he has created the Spike Diet to allow dieters to enjoy the food they love while still eating healthy. By indulging in an ice cream treat or a slice of pizza for one day (the Spike Day) out of the week, dieters learn to reward themselves with the foods they want most, instead of seeing them as everyday fare. Branjord includes recipes that will make eating well taste like every day is a Spike Day.
