Synopses & Reviews
Every year, millions of Americans spend billions of dollars on books and programs (not to mention drugs and surgery), each claiming to offer a weight loss solution. Some will lose weight but most fail and only a very few will maintain their loss. The vast majority will gain back all the weight they lost, and then some. Why? These books and programs don’t work for one very simple reason: they don’t effectively address the emotional aspect of an unhealthy relationship with food.
Imagine a weight loss program that tells you to put your feet up and relax deeply every day for 25 minutes while you listen to your self-hypnosis recording.
Imagine that while you relax, persistent cravings become healthy habits.
Imagine that every time you listen, your cortisol levels normalize and belly fat melts away.
Synopsis
In the US, millions of people spend billions of dollars on books, programs, drugs,or surgery that claim to offer a solution to obesity. It is a huge and exploitive industry that flourishes while, per capita, we are becoming heavier and unhealthier by the minute. None of the above fully addresses the core issue with weight and that is: why are we so hungry? Where do these cravings come from and how do we become craving free and empowered in our food choices? Lighten Up! Win At Losing gives the reader basic information about food (most of what we eat doesn’t nourish) and then it fosters the mind shift necessary for a new relationship with food.
