If diets have failed to give you the weight loss you desire, this book is for you as it explores the failures of diets to deliver the body shape you want. Often yo-yo weight loss is not the result of failure to rigidly adhere to a diet, but is affected by a number of sociocultural, biochemical, and environmental factors. The book ranges across the politics of weight, mind maps, fat talk, the second brain or genome, along with beneficial food groups and diets. This is not a diet book or an exercise book offering empty promises. Rather, this work explores the life-changing benefits of self compassion, and considers the role of self in the context of weight control. It takes you on a journey in a non-judgmental way to offer strategies that may lead to lifestyle changes and long-term success in regaining your self.
