Everyone at one time or another has traveled down the dieting road. Some are able to change their lifestyles and remain in shape, and then there’s those of us that lose a few pounds and end up adding them back on along with some extras. Over the past few years, I have tried every diet pill and signed up for every gym memberships, which I would only use a few times, and then I’m telling myself, “T, men like thick women. Just be okay with your extra hundred pounds and keep it moving.” The lies we tell ourselves.

When given the chance to read and review “The Mindful Diet,” I jumped at the opportunity in hopes that maybe this book could offer a better understanding of how to lose the weight and keep it off. Of course, I thought there would be these strict routines and disgusting meal plans. Instead, the authors offered a different approach to fitness…, a mental approach.

The authors break down each step to obtaining and maintaining a healthier lifestyle by first understanding who you are. It’s about self, and getting a visual look at the entire picture and not just the excess weight along with a quick fix. This book uses mental affirmations, meditation, exercises, a checklist, and actually gets to the root of what role food plays in your life.

This is indeed a useful and life changing read. It is not about losing weight, it is about being a better you, internally.

I give “The Mindful Diet” 5 out of 5 stars.

Happy Reading
