Skills for Slimming

There are many books on how to lose weight through diets and dieting. They all give great (and sometimes not so great) advice on what to eat, when to eat, how much to eat... But, if you're a long-term dieter, yo-yoing between losing and gaining weight, having tried every diet under the sun, you know that all the dieting advice in the world doesn't help. Why? Because the problem doesn't lie in your stomach; it lies in your head. Weight loss is a multifaceted problem, affecting your body, mind, emotions, mental health, and more - and so weight loss needs a multifaceted solution. Yes, your body is a machine, and you need to treat it right to lose weight. But, you are more than just a body. You are a human, living in a complex world, and complete with emotions, habits, instincts, and subconscious drives; you want all of them to work together with you as a team. That's why to lose weight, you have to change how you approach food itself. Eating right requires a new set of eating skills. "Skills for Slimming" isn't a diet book (there are plenty of those if that's what you're after). This is a way to change your entire relationship with food - a way to align your needs, wants and desires with those of your body and your subconscious instincts. In this book, you learn how to change your approach to food, so that all of you - your body, mind, instinct, subconscious, and you - work together as a team, doing what's best for your body, for you, and for your emotional well-being. The author leads you through an easy, step-by-step process, to undo the automatic unhelpful habits that you have unconsciously learned throughout life, and replace them with new habits and ways of thinking that make eating fun and healthy at the same time. This book guides you through what you need to know to repair not only your relationship with food, but also your body's. It uses a practical and fun approach, to permanently change how you feel and respond to food - in all situations. If you have struggled with controlling your eating, with dieting and with weight loss, and you don't know where else to turn, this is the book for you.
