About This Book
The only weight loss book in over 50 years endorsed by the American College of Sports Medicine®, Smart Weight Loss is not your average diet guide — it's a mindset revolution.
Blending cutting-edge nutritional science with empowering behavioral strategies, this book shows you how small, sustainable mental shifts lead to long-term physical change. You won't find quick fixes or crash diets here. Instead, you'll discover how to "think yourself thin" by first changing the way you think about eating, exercise, and self-care. Inside, you'll explore:
- Think Differently — Eat Differently
- Eat Like Socrates
- Feed Your Brain First
- Break Cycles — Not Records
- Crash Diets Cause Wrecks
- Toss the Cookies — Not the Salads
- Think Yourself Thin
- Don't Run Out of Gas on a Full Tank
