‘So many want to change, but so few do in actuality’ – a new approach to body image
Israeli author Liat Scheffer earned her degrees in Economics from the Tel Aviv University and is a teacher, a healer, and has established the Masters Life Success Academy to aid adults, adolescents and children to realize their best selves. Her books to date – RE(A)LATIONSHIPS 101 and now LOSE THE DIET LOSE THE WEIGHT, translated from the Hebrew by Seree Zohar.
In a most interesting approach, Liat opens her introductory remarks with the following – ‘My goal isn’t for you to lose weight. This book presents something far bigger, far more important, far more significant, which will impact your life in the deepest way possible.’ Then why, we may ask, is this book intended to address weight loss? The answer is in Liat’s body-mind connection that she ushers in by describing her own previous struggle with body image of being large and failing at dieting. By discussing self-loathing that results from concentration on body image that is not commensurate with our ideal, the diets and gimmicks to lose those pounds fails. Or as she shares, ‘Diets are actually one of the prime reasons for obesity’…’When we fight ourselves, there’s only ne loser: ourselves.’ ‘Altering our eating habits can and should be a natural process, one that is healthy, one that occurs from inside out, rather than in reverse. When you let go of that internal baggage, your body lets go of its external baggage: weight.’
In a most accessible manner Liat discusses transformative therapy and in doing so offers an at once common sense approach to body image and a way of altering our approach to the current concept of current fads of dieting. In closing, Liat shares, ‘We spoke about emotions, habits, addictions, the survival mechanism, hunger and satiety, the spiritual journey. But what should we be doing with them? How do we actually set out on the journey? First of all, gently. Really. The most important thing for you is to be gentle towards yourself…As soon as you start the process of awareness, it never ends. You’ll always be discovering more emotions, beliefs, habits, and that’s completely okay…’ That demeanor of communication is what makes this little book reassuring and accessible. Recommended.

Some good info but not well presented
The good: reinforces sleeping well, drinking plenty of water, and not feeling pressured to “clean your plate”. The bad: fails to provide much in the way of practical advice, nothing new in terms of nutritional information, and little psychological assistance.
Eat less and move more (proven to be effective at weight loss) isn’t outlined here nor is anything else you can immediately put to use. As the author is neither a physician nor a nutritionist, I’d avoid this book unless you’re simply reading it for market research purposes.
