We want to live long, healthy lives; have more energy; lose some weight and see that youthful glow when we look in the mirror, right? And we know that to get there we need to eat better, move more and make time for self-care, right? So, why don’t we do it? Why is it so hard to stay consistent with doing the things that we know we need to do? We often assume the solution lies in a new diet or the hottest new eating approach. We focus on protein or carbs, and collect enough “quick and healthy” recipes to feed an army. We beat ourselves up for not having enough willpower, discipline or time. But the truth is that none of these things address the actual root cause of our unhealthy habits around food. In this book we dig deep into how your brain’s old “operating system” drives habits like emotional eating, night-time snacking and overeating and you learn surprisingly simple and practical tools that you can start using today to help you reprogram and rewire those old patterns for good. Sara Best, RHN is a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and Consistency Coach. She’s worked with hundreds of women around the world through her popular Change Your Brain - Change Your Body program to help them learn how to more easily stay consistent with healthy eating by reprogramming and rewiring the way their brains think about food.
Excellent book about so much more than making better choices about food (although it's absolutely about that too). There is so much good information and tons of great practical strategies to use - this is exactly the kind of book I've been wanting.
I liked the science behind why we overeat. I did not like the New Age solutions that comprised the rest of the book. Horribly disappointed. I wish I had known that these"solutions " were in the book before I bought it.
