Brain-Powered Weight Loss: The 11-Step Behavior-Based Plan That Ends Overeating and Leads to Dropping Unwanted Pounds for Good

FINALLY. A resource that helps me focus on my behaviors versus another 3, 10, or 30 day diet. Kingsford's approach is refreshing, incredibly helpful, and thoughtfully written. Though she acknowledges the great resources that are out there, she also drives home the inconvenient truth that we all need to hear...if we can't control why we do (or don't) act on certain impulses, we'll never have long-term success in weight loss pursuits. A starts with "why" approach with a "how" to take control back. Love it!!

This is NOT another diet book! This is a book about finding your healthy obsession and I love it! This book is about being your healthiest self, learning mindfulness and self love! Kingsford delivers some amazing tools to help you get to your goals! As someone who struggles with anxiety the sections on mindfulness was something I wasn't necessarily expecting, but was very appreciate of. I will have this book on my shelf and return to it often!

I have not finished this book yet, I'm about a quarter of the way through it, but I like where it is going and it is making sense to me so far. It is easy to read and understand. You will be asked to do some writing, answering questions, keeping a journal etc, which I think is important but not everyone has the time to do all of that all the time, but having said that, I guess if you want it to work for you then you need to make the time. I like the fact that you can go to her website and download the forms needed for writing for free. AS far as I can tell, It will be a good book to have on hand.

This book is excellent. In addition to helping me with my food issues, it's helped me improve my life overall. I struggle with anxiety and depression and over the years have developed some very disordered eating habits, namely, binge eating and emotional eating. I came to this book after years of diets/fasts that did more harm than good and more recently I dabbled in intuitive eating. While there are several aspects of intuitive eating that I liked, overall it just didn't sit well with me. Eliza's book provides a cognitive behavioral approach to eating. I use to food to cope - to numb feelings, distract myself, etc. This book gives me the tools to address those feelings and to deal with my issues - to figure out why I binge and how I can change that. I've read so much about binge and emotional eating and this is the only book that has helped me. It is also feels a lot like going to therapy. After all, it's written by a therapist. I still have a long way to go, but my relationship with food is improving along with all aspects of my life. I first got the book on Audible. It's narrated by Eliza herself and it's great. After I finished, I bought the hard back so I could easily go back to review parts, highlight, make notes. I also downloaded all of her worksheets from her website. Highly recommend!

Love this book. It has made a very strong difference in my life. I also purchased the audio to listen to it on my hour drive to/from work. The author is great to listen to, she has a very soothing voice and makes a lot of sense. I bought the book for quick reference on my journey to getting my life back from weight gain and feeling horrible.

This book comes from a place of why we overeat or eat the wrong things An how we can change this forever it’s about emotions false conceptions if the mind An how we let both outside stimuli an inside thoughts an emotions stop us from making the right choices. Once we are in the mean flu thought process we can get ourselves back an change not only bad eating habits but other bad habits as well.

The author doesn't tell you what to eat or how to exercise, she helps you work on the mental part of your weight journey. Great examples, solid science based advice, and an easy read. I'll be buying copies of this book to give away as Christmas presents. The best book I've bought in a long time.

This is deep information. I started reading it online and was impressed enough to buy the book. I'm really hoping this proves effective in helping me.

Nice and clean for a workbook. Great!
