Book Description
Don’t Lose Your Mind, Lose Your Weight, the country’s highest-selling diet book, has revolutionized the way Indians think about food and their eating habits. Funny, easy to read and full of great advice, it argues that we should return to our traditional eating roots (yes, ghee is good for you), nutrients are more important than calories (cheese over biscuits) and, most importantly, the only way to lose weight is to keep eating. Rujuta Diwekar is one of the country’s best nutritionists, with deep roots in yoga and Ayurveda and a client list which boasts some of Bollywood’s biggest names. In the updated edition of this classic, she has added an extensive Q&A section which deals with the questions she gets asked most by her clients.

For so many people, whether your addiction is to a substance or merely to a certain way of thinking or acting, a profound humbling occurs when you realize that your problem is bigger than you are. The terror of realizing, even dimly, that you have no control over a self-destructive pattern of behavior that as much as you would want to, you simply cannot stop can mark a crucial turning point in your life. At that point, you go in one of two directions: either way, way down, or way, way up. . . . This book is for you if you know in your heart that you are an addict, and that you are powerless before your addictive behavior. As the title promises, Marianne Williamson looks at weight loss from a spiritual perspective, bringing you 30 lessons that can be done separately or in conjunction with any other serious spiritual path. These 30 lessons are completely separate from anything related to diet or exercise they will retrain your consciousness in the area of weight in order to break the cycle of overeating, dieting, and shame that rules so many lives. Finally, Marianne has brought you what you've been waiting for: help to heal your addiction once and for all!

Thinking in Circles About Obesity

Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0387094695
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 463
Book Description
Today’s children may well become the first generation of Americans whose life expectancy will be shorter than that of their parents. The culprit, public health experts agree, is obesity and its associated health problems. Heretofore, the strategy to slow obesity’s galloping pace has been driven by what the philosopher Karl Popper calls ‘‘the bucket theory of the mind. ’’ When minds are seen as containers and public understanding is viewed as being a function of how many scientific facts are known, the focus is naturally on how many scientific facts public minds contain. But the strategy has not worked. Despite all the diet books, the wide availability of reduced-calorie and reduced-fat foods, and the broad publicity about the obesity problem, America’s waistline continues to expand. It will take more than food pyramid images or a new nutritional guideline to stem obesity’s escalation. Albert Einstein once observed that the significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them, and that we would have to shift to a new level, a deeper level of thinking,tosolvethem. Thisbookarguesfor,andpresents,adifferent perspective for thinking about and addressing the obesity problem: a systems thinking perspective. While already commonplace in engineering and in business, the use of systems thinking in personal health is less widely adopted. Yet this is precisely the setting where complexities are most problematicandwherethestakesarehighest.

Pages : 108
Book Description
What is it about people's attitude toward "dieting" that is so absolutely negative? How do we get into this mental state where we accept our overweight condition? Why is it that we have such a difficult time addressing our unhealthy lifestyle?Well, the answer is rather simple. Going on a diet is difficult. It ain't fun ! It is not an enjoyable experience. We don't want to spend hours in a gym. We don't want to eat the special microwave meals that we have to buy or that are delivered to our front door. We don't want to be required to use a calculator to determine if we can or cannot have any particular item for a snack.We enjoy our current lifestyle. We don't want to change the way we live or stop eating the things we love. And therefore, we determine that dieting is "not for me." We think, I'm not about to undergo some miserable experience to lose weight . My happiness is important. It's definitely more important than shedding some pounds.If dieting were fun, we'd all be skinny as a rail. But we all realize, or at least we should realize, that being overweight is unhealthy. Many of us realize that we really should address this issue. But we think, I just don't want to go through the whole dieting thing. It's hard ... it's difficult ... it's not fun. And many of us have tried dieting. And it either didn't work for whatever reason, or the weight came right back.What if I told you of a way to lose weight where you don't have to stop eating the things you love. And you don't have to join a gym and go on some exercise regimen. What if I told you that I know of a way to enjoy the experience. What if I told you of a process where it's not difficult to lose weight. And what if I told you this process will vastly improve your chances of keeping the weight off for the rest of your life.I invite you to go on a journey of discovery. A journey where you will discover the reason you are heavier than you should be; and probably heavier than you would like to be. It's a journey where you will learn to slowly modify what you eat in terms of both quantity and quality. You will not have to give up the things you love while on this journey. You will teach yourself to east less of these items and less frequently. It's a journey where you will teach yourself to slowly modify your lifestyle. And the important word here is SLOWLY.This is not a fast weight-loss process. How long will it take to lose the weight? How long is the journey? That's entirely up to you. This is a self-directed and self-controlled journey to an improved lifestyle.THE JOURNEY DIET is a book I've written that documents my journey to a vastly improved lifestyle. It is not a diet book. I invite you to take this journey. If you embark on and complete this journey, you will lose the weight you want to lose and will vastly improve your chances of keeping the weight off.

Jerzy is happy to help you to become more youthful and create for yourself happier living. SECOND EDITION NOTE:Welcome to the new, updated The Happy Body. This second edition includes new inspiring testimonials and some useful tools, including a Quick Guide summary of The Happy Body experience (page 70), an extensive list of resources (page 280) and an outline to deepen your understanding of how The Happy Body can support you through every decade (page xv).

We’ve also written many books that offer additional support for those who need it; a list of these resources appears in the back of the book. Finding enough is a constant interaction between doing too much and doing too little. It is a part of any craft and ensures the fastest and safest progress. Making mistakes is part of the learning process. Equally important is maintaining trust that you will succeed just like others before you.This book is designed as a manual. Our clients find reading testimonies and highlighting meaningful passages in the book is inspiring—it keeps them motivated and positive. You can use the The Happy Body Self Mastery Workbook or The Happy Body Journal, or any diary to record your daily thoughts, feelings, challenges and solutions.

As we live longer and face more challenges in an ever-changing world, our quality of life is at stake. The strength and immunity of our bodies are correlated. Wellness is built over time by making conscious choices that are hard—resisting packaged products and inflammatory foods, minimizing consumption of animal proteins as we age, choosing strength over endurance training that overtires and injures the body. We have worked with these health topics for over 30 years now and have seen how the hard choices make up an easy life in the long run. Even more so, in the face of adversity.We created The Happy Body Program as a proactive, holistic approach to health and fitness, to thrive in harmony with nature. There is overwhelming gracefulness in living without overconsumption and finding the middle ground of enough.

Brain-Powered Weight Loss

Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Losing weight and successfully maintaining it over the long term is not as much about what you put in your stomach; it's more about what's happening in the brain. In Brain-Powered Weight Loss, psychotherapist and weight management expert Eliza Kingsford shows that more than 90 percent of people who go on diet programs (even healthy ones) fail or eventually regain because they have a dysfunctional relationship with food. Changing this relationship by changing the way you think about and behave around food is what it takes to permanently achieve weight-loss success. Kingsford’s 11-step first-of-its-kind program enlists dozens of mind-altering and behavior-changing exercises and techniques that shows you how to: • Identify and reverse the conscious and unconscious thinking errors and food triggers that lead to the behaviors that drive our food decisions. • Let go of the mindset of going on or off a diet in favor of a conscious quest to pursue a lifestyle of healthy eating and everyday activity--one that can last forever. • Successfully use what Kingsford calls "dealing skills" to outsmart high-risk situations, tame stressful times, and prevent an eating "slip" from leading to a setback or all-out binge. • Find out if you have what emerging research shows is an addiction to certain high-fat and sugar-added, processed foods that can be as powerful as addiction to cigarettes and narcotics. • Design a personal healthy eating program built on Kingsford's 10 Principles of Healthy Eating.
