How to eat Mindfully and Mindlessly lose weight - E-book - ePub

Food enjoyment is a vital component of a vibrant life. We have a complex relationship with food.  We love to eat food that tastes good and makes us feel good.  We also feel guilty about our love of tasty food when it seems to clash with our weight loss expectations.  We reach for prescriptive solutions that seem to work for other people and hope they work for us.  We forget a few simple truths.  Temporary solutions lead to temporary results.  We are unique and live unique lives.  We need unique, not cookie cutter, solutions for weight loss.  We need unique solutions that last.  We all deserve to enjoy the food we eat while living healthy lives. Do you enjoy the experience of dieting?  No? Most people don't.  Are you always on the hunt for the best quick weight loss diet because the weight comes back when the diet is over?  If so, then you are in good company.  Most people cannot wait to finish their diet and get back to their normal life.
Consequently, most regain weight they lose.  Despite plenty of data that says it does not work, they look for temporary solutions to solve long term problems. Here is the reality.  There are no quick and easy solutions to weight loss.  It took months, if not years, to put it on and expecting it to be gone in 2 weeks is frankly ludicrous.  Diets and solutions that promise quick weight loss results are only giving you part of the picture.  The rest is in the fine print and the fine print is where all the ifs, buts and qualifiers reside.  Mass produced diets ignore that you are not an "average" person and your life looks nothing like the one they modeled.  They also conveniently ignore the fact that most of us like to eat and we prefer our food to taste good.  Losing weight and eating healthy should not require saying goodbye to foods we love. Drawing on over 20 years of professional, and personal, experience Anna Kazmierczak, MS, MBA has created a blueprint for weight loss that honors your unique life and allows you to enjoy food and eating again.  How to eat Mindfully and Mindlessly lose weight will help you chart a unique path, to weight loss that lasts, by clearly showing you that Our relationship with food is complex Restrictive diets are not the best option for long term weight loss When it comes to food and health, it is not just what and how much but also where, when, why and with whom that matter Enjoying food, not willpower, is key to lasting weight loss Your environment plays a significant role in your food choices and can make or break your weight loss efforts There are many simple ways to make weight loss and healthy eating enjoyable and effortless if you know where and how to look How to eat Mindfully and Mindlessly lose weight is packed with real life examples, practical tips and tools you can start using immediately to make eating healthy easy and delicious.  Reading this book will not make you lose weight, but putting its simple strategies in practice will have you on your way to living the kind of healthy, delicious and lighter life you always wanted.
