The Weight Loss Mindset Shift: Why we have to think differently about our bodies, about how we eat, about what food is, about how we move, and to do it all in a spirit of positive energy.

If you are reading this book, it’s more than likely you are struggling with your weight. And if you are struggling with your weight, you are far from alone. More people around the world are overweight or obese than ever before. So it stands to reason that there are also more gimmicks, tricks, and diets on the market than ever before. Going on a diet is like going into battle. Listen to the words that come to mind when we think about losing weight: willpower, discipline, fighting cravings, the battle of the bulge. It’s like being at war, only we’re at war with our bodies – at war with ourselves. Why don’t diets work? Because every single one of them involves a way of eating that is not natural for you. If you want to lose weight, and you want to lose it for good, then you need to find a way that is not a battle, one that works in harmony with your body rather than in conflict with it, and one that does not rely on deprivation or starvation or any of the things we tend to associate with weight loss.
