Poorly written. Could not finish. Read a lot and I am generally pretty tolerant of stylistic issues and even "bad" writing. But the writing here was just awful, cringe-worthy awful. I returned my kindle edition for a full refund.

2 1/2 stars. Good material with emphasis on a cognitive approach to dieting but not exceptionally well written. I have been reading a number of weight loss/better diet books lately, so maybe the subject is getting repetitive but I found this book a chore to read and finally stopped at 60%. I much prefer Brain Powered Weight Loss for the wealth of information and techniques on losing/maintaining weight. Or even the very rigid, but very helpful Beck Diet Solution.

This is not your usual weight loss book!
My advice is don't be too quick to skip this if you want long-term results.
This book will set the right foundation in your mind for a successful weight loss managment!
I love it for it's easy writing style. Also the writer dealt on the important process to undo some unhelpful beliefs etched within the soul of the 'dieter' to minimise any mindset hinderances to a healthy weight and lifestyle.
The principles shared here will help anyone who wants to see real success reaching their ideal weight.

Our country is facing an epidemic and it concerns me greatly. Because I have this concern, books and articles on weight loss always interest me. Wendy Higdon traces the origins of sugar, our culture's love of sugar, sugar as a drug, the physical, medical, environmental and the emotional causes of obesity in a comprehensive yet simple to understand language so that the reader gets a solid history of why our society is now stereotyped as overweight bringing the level of illness our nation is contending with to a potentially bankrupting phenomenon.
The author challenges the reader to make choices now rather than make excuses. She explains the impact of negative self-talk and core beliefs that keep us filled with doubt or low self-worth making the challenge of significant weight loss overwhelming. She insists we must all begin with forgiveness. Forgiveness to others for any hurt they have caused us so that healing can begin, and forgiveness to ourselves to having made unhealthy choices. In other words, it is time to start fresh, let go of the negative energy that holding grudges or criticisms against your self will perpetuate.
By working toward creating a new identity, creating a new body image, watching out for our triggers or being sabotaged by food choices, we can begin to sense motion and commitment. With commitment, comes the ability to establish new habits and a belief in the necessity for the habit along with the ability to maintain the habit. Change Your Mind Change Your Body presents a weight loss plan that is accompanied by worksheets and goal setting in increments. The simple sense of the plan makes it seem attainable. I will definitely recommend Change Your Mind Change Your Body to as many people as it fits into our conversation.

Good book, will be using it along with the free workbook to help myself as I journey toward a 235 pound weight loss. I want and intend to keep it off for good. This book will be a large help in doing so.
You must change your mindset to have a lasting change. Become mindful of what you're doing, eating, saying, thinking.

This book is filled with the important information that will guide you in your weight loss and it's more than enough information to achieve one's desired weight. I like the fact that mindset has been tackled here which is the most important piece of information shared in this book for me. Why? No results can be achieved when the mind is not focused, does not believe and not open to changes. Kudos to the author.
