In her new book, Good, Better, Best, Brenda Bennett delivers a novel approach to maintaining weight loss and keeping your health goals on track. This book provides a lifeline for anyone who struggles with the perpetual cycle of weight loss and regain--the dreaded yo-yo experience. Now you can banish the yo-yo forever with Brenda’s approach. It doesn’t involve strict plans or a rigid system. Instead, Brenda explains how to use a straightforward decision-making method to stay the course even through life’s inconveniences and imperfections.

The Good, Better, Best method gives you back control of your choices and empowers you each day to overcome decision fatigue, roll with the punches, and succeed in your goal to maintain your weight. You make decisions with one question in mind: ＂What can I confidently choose to eat in this moment that still aligns with my goals and keeps me on track?＂ Even if you don’t make the very best choice, it’s still a good enough choice. Just by choosing a good enough option you can reduce the toxic all-or-nothing mindset that says you must be perfect to stay on track. It allows flexibility in your decisions, so your brain doesn’t go into ＂I’ve blown it, I’ll just start again Monday＂ mode.

What’s Good, Better, Best?

-Good (Enough): Simple and delicious recipes that won’t compromise your health gains. Many use convenience items from your pantry, fridge, and freezer, making them perfect when you’re short on time, on the road, or need to satisfy a craving.
-Better: When you have a bit more time but still don’t want to spend forever in the kitchen, these 15-45-minute recipes are made from scratch and offer more nutrient-dense options--think simple stir-fries, Instant Pot meals, and air fryer favorites.
-Best: The healthiest and most involved recipes, many ideal for freezer prep and batch cooking. Great for feeding your family, entertaining, and weekend meals.

You can mix and match between the three tiers and tailor your menu to suit your day.
