Completely refreshing， my background is scientific and I was very sceptical that this book would teach me anything I didn’t already （realistically） know even if I’d been slightly in denial。 I’ve never had a major problem with my weight but am aware of fluctuations， which don’t always seem fair or make any sense so I thought I’d give this a read。The author is brilliantly honest， including giving very frank personal insights into his own relationships with food which all resonate strongly。 He also Completely refreshing， my background is scientific and I was very sceptical that this book would teach me anything I didn’t already （realistically） know even if I’d been slightly in denial。 I’ve never had a major problem with my weight but am aware of fluctuations， which don’t always seem fair or make any sense so I thought I’d give this a read。The author is brilliantly honest， including giving very frank personal insights into his own relationships with food which all resonate strongly。 He also has a no nonsense approach and has a sense of humour to match。 His whole manner made me relax and trust him and be less harsh on myself， overall feeling less guilt and ready to embrace a new mindset and not worried about what I’d previously probably stress about as failings。 I love the way the science is applied and borrowed from other areas of life， as is the psychology。 Weight loss should be science based and rigid fact based but it’s also， annoyingly， a bit mystic and unreliable for no apparent reason， which makes me cross and more likely to give up and fail。 The way the author relates our body weight mechanism to evolutionary matters one hundred per cent resonates with me as this is how I rationalise most things too。 Some of techniques he mentions and reasoning he applies are therefore total lightbulb moments for me。 Love this and completely recommend it。 。。。more

This is not a diet book， it is a weight loss book。 There’s no recipes or calorie recommendations。 The author researched discoveries and innovations from other fields of study that have nothing to do with weight loss and figured out a way to apply them so that if you follow the advice of addiction counselors， psychologists， physicians etc you change the behaviors that contribute to obesity。 It’s pretty frickin interesting。 The solutions to common problems like emotional eating， over eating and ad This is not a diet book， it is a weight loss book。 There’s no recipes or calorie recommendations。 The author researched discoveries and innovations from other fields of study that have nothing to do with weight loss and figured out a way to apply them so that if you follow the advice of addiction counselors， psychologists， physicians etc you change the behaviors that contribute to obesity。 It’s pretty frickin interesting。 The solutions to common problems like emotional eating， over eating and addictions to hyper palatable food are all covered。 I won’t lie to you， it sounds like a Project with a capital P， but the idea of actually taking the issues and solving them permanently could be worth the effort。 。。。more

This book gave some different strategies on how to lose weight， including， mindfulness， rituals and looking at how much pleasure I get from eating each food。I will try and use these tips to help me achieve a healthier lifestyle。Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for my e-copy in exchange for an honest review。

This book has many good tips on how to lose weight。 It has good ideas about how to reduce hunger， stop over eating/cravings and eat less without being hungry。 The information is very useful and offers many new approaches。 My only recommendation is the chapters should have titles in the table of contents so it would be easier for me to go back to a certain part if needed。 Thanks to the publisher for the arc。

I have mixed feeling about this book。 Pros:- Fairly simple， easy to understand style of writing- Good info on reframing your mental thought processes if you have an unhealthy， addictive relationship with foodCons:- Really applies to only a margin of the population: those who have food addiction and overeating as the main cause of weight and/or health issues- The author said himself that he was skinny all his life， ate whatever he wanted and never gained weight until his late 20s; many do not fal I have mixed feeling about this book。 Pros:- Fairly simple， easy to understand style of writing- Good info on reframing your mental thought processes if you have an unhealthy， addictive relationship with foodCons:- Really applies to only a margin of the population: those who have food addiction and overeating as the main cause of weight and/or health issues- The author said himself that he was skinny all his life， ate whatever he wanted and never gained weight until his late 20s; many do not fall into this category so his perspective wouldn’t correlate with theirs- Despite fervently preaching in the beginning of the book that dieting is not the answer and foods should never be off limits， he goes on in later chapters to explain fairly stringent ‘rules’ about how to limit portions and cut out sugar and snacking， and also proposes intermittent fasting， while protesting that this is not a diet but is in fact a schedule; contradictory at times in my opinionThank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review this book。 。。。more

An interesting take on losing diet mentality and switching our thoughts around food to better suit our health。 A deep dive is done on the ambiance of eating， plating， gratification， and eating mindfully。 Definite， this book is full if gold nuggets of knowledge on how to switch your relationship with food。
