Take Back Control - in just three words there’s a wealth of wisdom
I am a member of Slimpod - Sandra has created a powerful approach to a healthier happier slimmer life. It’s a great book that really encapsulates a wealth of her hard earned knowledge. If you really take on board what she teaches I believe it’s the way out of diet hell and poor health and a life lived at half mast!

It was one of those Facebook adverts (yes I know), I was looking for a way to lose weight (yet again) and was put off by the high prices charged by things like Noom and Zoe - when I saw that Slimpod was much cheaper and had a ten day trial period I decided to give it a go. Its like no other weight loss journey (because you are not on a diet) and so when I heard that Sandra had written a book I thought I would buy it.
First, the content is very similar to the coaching videos that you get if you subscribe so it is reinforcing those messages for me rather than new ideas. However, you do get a personal story from someone who has used the techniques to reclaim their health, happiness and/or weight at the end of practically every chapter which is nice (and they aren't all twenty-somethings who wanted to lose seven pounds).
I'm sure lots of people will read the book and feel empowered without needing to subscribe to the pods. However, for me it was an add-on to the subscription (and the lovely pods from our Trevor). It helps you think about why you 'fall off the wagon' on diets, why you binge eat, why you are drawn to sweet foods, alcohol, and chocolate instead of (say) a carrot and the impact of all those failed diets on your subconscious.
Very easy to read with x-refs to the technical studies.

Sandra’s passion for helping people break out of negative cycles (that are literally weighing them down) is inspiring. This is not about following another diet or trying to have enough willpower, it’s about changing your brain and changing your life. The Slimpod programme has felt like a miracle for me personally, after decades of emotional eating and disordered eating. I’m healthier and happier than I’ve been for years.

An amazing book written by an amazing lady. The Slimpod programme has changed my life. I started 7 1/2 months ago and lost 5st1. I have dropped from a size 22 to a 12 and am much happier. I am not as tired anymore by far. The book is an amazing support whether you are on the Slimpod programme or not. It is full of inspirational case studies. It’s written in a way that is easy and enjoyable to read. It’s a must read.
