Klappentext

If you have ever: looked in the mirror and hated what you see had a health professional suggest that losing weight is easy thought to yourself - if only I could lose a couple of kilos starved yourself to lose weight or your body has just changed sincehaving children or hitting menopause

THEN THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU In a world obsessed with thinness, quick fixes and filtered perfection, many of us still struggle with our weight, feeling trapped between impossible beauty standards, conflicting health advice and a body that just won't respond the way it should or used to. Written by Linda Pickett (B. Nursing), Founder of My TempleTM, this book was born from thousands of conversations with women and men who knew nothing, or knew so much about dieting and weight loss that they were paralysed, stuck on the diet-fail-exercise-fail merry-go-round. Not knowing right from wrong, who to believe or how to regain control of their bodies. Feeling defeated, confused, ashamed and blaming themselves for what biology, stress and modern life has made incredibly hard. Inside, Linda unpacks the truth about why losing weight isn't as simple as 'eat less, move more'. You'll learn: The science behind metabolism, hormones and genes (in a non-sciency way) The basics of nutrition and human physiology, so that you can take control How stress, sleep and genes impact your weight Alternative solutions to diet and exercise - surgical, medical and cosmetic Why your body is biologically programmed to regain weight after dieting The emotional and societal pressures that shape how we see ourselves How to let go of the criticism and find PEACE with your body

And most importantly, WHY IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.
