Ditch the Diet: It's Not About the Food
The ‘diet industry’s’ approach to weight loss primarily focuses on the ‘what and when’ of how we eat. Nancy's clinical work and her own personal struggles have led her to the conclusion that this method, focusing on the food, does not work in the vast majority of cases. The irony is that diets actually make people fatter. Long term success rates are shockingly low. Being overweight is not about the food! This book looks at overeating through an addiction lens showing how food is used to manage emotions, just like other substances. By uncovering our thoughts, connecting with and naming our emotions the author gives practical solutions to change the behaviors that sabotage our weight loss. This book is written in the direct, no-nonsense voice of its author, with a sense of humor woven throughout. Nancy believes that getting off the diet roller coaster, losing weight and keeping it off for good is about changing your unhealthy relationship with food into one that nourishes your body and soul.
