Start your journey to a healthier, happier you - inside and out.
Do you feel like you're constantly battling with food? We are bombarded with advice on what we should do to be healthier or lose weight, but making that happen feels overwhelming, if not impossible. This cycle of trying and 'failing' then leaves you stuck in frustration, shame and self-blame.
In this compassionate and practical guide, nutritionist and wellbeing expert Claire Turnbull helps you break free from the struggle. She explains how our eating is influenced by our psychology, why diets often fail to deliver lasting results - and why willpower alone isn't the answer. Plus, she shows why focusing exclusively on the number on the scales can get in the way of truly looking after our health.
Learn how to unpack your eating patterns and change your habits for good, so that you're eating in accordance with your health and wellbeing goals, rather than focusing on your weight.
Beyond food, Claire shares the latest research on the key pillars of genuine nourishment, sleep, movement, relationships, managing stress and connecting with your purpose.
Packed with useful tips and relatable insights, this book is so much more than a guide to eating well; it's a path to making peace with yourself and truly loving the life and body you've got.

Unfortunately I've discovered self help books are just not for me. After 2 1/2 weeks and making it to almost halfway, I decided to give up.
I'm sure there are loads of helpful tips and tricks, and I did pause to think about why I turn to food and what from my past may be triggers for eating.... if self help books are your thing, then I'd give this a go.
With extremely personal stories, an engaging writing style and clear, easy to follow wisdom, this book is helpful for anyone who wants to end their fight with food.
