Not everyone of course is certain that small steps could lead you all the way to good health. According to Marc Siegel, MD of a clinical associate professor at the NYU School of Medicine, while doing something is certainly better than doing nothing, making such small changes is like using a Band – aid to stop a hemorrhage.
“It is a small, gimmicky idea to target people with very unhealthy lifestyles, and for some it may be useful,” says Siegel, author of False Alarm: the Truth about the Epidemic of Fear. But he’s afraid that for most people, it’s sending the wrong message.
“In some way it is a resignation, an admission that things can not be changed – and that is certainly not the long – term answer,” Siegel tells WebMD.
Katz admits that the Stealth Health approach may not be right for everybody.
“There is a trade – off because if you try to make the pursuit of health easier for people, you run the risk of leading them to believe they don’t need to do very much --- and that would be the wrong message,” he says.
Meantime, Katz believes that for those who find out making changes a horrifying move, Stealth Health can make a change.
“If you want the really big gains, there has to be some pain,” says Katz. “But there is a lot to be said before the idea that you can make some gains with little or no pain, and that is infinitely better than no gains.”
