Weight Loss for Food Lovers

Note: This mostly good book is 99% minty fresh.  The other 1% is just that a very few pages have extremely minor folds in the lower corner.  Nothing to worry about.

This revolutionary book reveals in clear and engaging terms why most dieters struggle with, or even sabotage, their weight loss efforts. The three key reasons are: 1) A deep love of food; 2) Resisting extreme deprivation; 3) The hidden benefits of being overweight. The focus isn't on what to eat—most people already know that. The real challenge lies in understanding the whys: Why don’t we eat what we know we should? Why do we indulge in foods we know we shouldn't? Why do we undermine our healthy eating plans? The truth is, it’s not that people fail diets—diets fail people. Moreover, as parents, one of the most valuable gifts we can give our children is the habit of healthy eating, so they can carry it into adulthood.

Dr. Blair-West, a Life Fellow of the Obesity Prevention & Treatment Society and a speaker at the International Congress on Obesity, brings a unique perspective as both a Medical Doctor and Psychiatrist. He offers insights to break the cycle of “start a diet, lose weight, gain it all back, plus more.” This is not just another diet book—it contains no menus, calorie charts, or exercise plans. Instead, it’s a must-read before embarking on any weight loss journey. Drawing on the latest research, his clinical experience, the ‘French Paradox,’ and even Zen mindfulness, Dr. Blair-West shares the secrets to maintaining lasting weight loss.
