Brain-Powered Weight Loss


Book Description

Losing weight and successfully maintaining it over the long term is not as much about what you put in your stomach; it's more about what's happening in the brain. In Brain-Powered Weight Loss, psychotherapist and weight management expert Eliza Kingsford shows that more than 90 percent of people who go on diet programs (even healthy ones) fail or eventually regain because they have a dysfunctional relationship with food. Changing this relationship by changing the way you think about and behave around food is what it takes to permanently achieve weight-loss success. Kingsford’s 11-step first-of-its-kind program enlists dozens of mind-altering and behavior-changing exercises and techniques that shows you how to: • Identify and reverse the conscious and unconscious thinking errors and food triggers that lead to the behaviors that drive our food decisions. • Let go of the mindset of going on or off a diet in favor of a conscious quest to pursue a lifestyle of healthy eating and everyday activity--one that can last forever. • Successfully use what Kingsford calls "dealing skills" to outsmart high-risk situations, tame stressful times, and prevent an eating "slip" from leading to a setback or all-out binge. • Find out if you have what emerging research shows is an addiction to certain high-fat and sugar-added, processed foods that can be as powerful as addiction to cigarettes and narcotics. • Design a personal healthy eating program built on Kingsford's 10 Principles of Healthy Eating.

Being Fat Is Not Ok


Book Description

The ultimate book to permanently lose weight and change your life. It's not about diets or exercise, it's the mindset that counts There are a million books about losing weight. Why choose this one? Essentially, because those books focus on the wrong thing, they show you a diet regime, or an exercise routine, which is not bad in itself, but they never focus on the person who actually has to diet or workout: you. "Being Fat is not OK" has a completely different premise. It makes you understand your own motivations and take charge of your life. In the end, it doesn't matter which diet plan you start or which exercise routine you follow as long as they are sensible choices, what really counts is your preparation and willingness to make a sustain an extended effort and have enough discipline to start and keep on going until you are satisfied with your body. No more excuses. No more "I like myself the way I am," even if you know you don't. No more "I don't have time." No more "My head hurts." The time is now. This is your life and your future is not far away. Do you want to keep on suffering when you see yourself in the mirror? Do you want to die younger and leave your loved ones when they most need you? This book will help you get out of your comfort zone and finally start changing. Why should I read this book? Because society has fooled us into thinking that we should aspire to look like Hollywood stars and, at the same time, to accept our bodies the way they are, even if we know we're not happy with it. This book shows you how to get out of that double-edged sword. Because you have tried dieting and working out so many times and you still wonder why you fail. You will learn the proper mindset to succeed. Because you know you can do better. You know you van become a better version of yourself. You just don't know how to start. And finally, because it doesn't advertise any miracle diets or magic exercise regimes. It doesn't try to sell you anything other than knowledge. What's better than hearing advice from someone who talks from the heart? This book is an agile but in-depth explanation of how to get the right mindset to start a lasting and effective weight-loss program and it shows the way to acquire the discipline and self confidence to finish what we started.
