Brain-Powered Weight Loss

The 11-Step Behavior-Based Plan That Ends Overeating and Leads to Dropping Unwanted Pounds for Good

By: Eliza Kingsford, Debora Yost

Narrated by: Eliza Kingsford

Losing weight and successfully maintaining it over the long term is not as much about what you put in your stomach; it's more about what's happening in the brain. In Brain-Powered Weight Loss, psychotherapist and weight management expert Eliza Kingsford shows that more than 90 percent of people who go on diet programs (even healthy ones) fail or eventually regain because they have a dysfunctional relationship with food. Changing this relationship by changing the way you think about and behave around food is what it takes to permanently achieve weight-loss success.

Kingsford's 11-step first-of-its-kind program enlists dozens of mind-altering and behavior-changing exercises and techniques that shows you how to:

• Identify and reverse the conscious and unconscious thinking errors and food triggers that lead to the behaviors that drive our food decisions
• Let go of the mind-set of going on or off a diet in favor of a conscious quest to pursue a lifestyle of healthy eating and everyday activity - one that can last forever
• Successfully use what Kingsford calls "dealing skills" to outsmart high-risk situations, tame stressful times, and prevent an eating "slip" from leading to a setback or all-out binge
• Find out if you have what emerging research shows is an addiction to certain high-fat and sugar-added processed foods that can be as powerful as addictions to cigarettes and narcotics
• Design a personal healthy eating program built on Kingsford's 10 Principles of Healthy Eating

Healthy Obsession

A life changing book that explains how resistant biology keeps fat cells striving for more plus how a change in mindset can fight back. Ms. Kingsford provides all the tools necessary for real change. I am so very thankful for this book.

Loved the audio version so much that I ordered the hard copy. I was unable to download the worksheets from the website, the links seem to be disabled. I will recreate my own to use.
Being a holistic wellness coach, I appreciate how she explains the psychology of weight loss and the step-wise strategies and tools she suggests for getting to the root cause of one becoming and how to overcome obesity once and for all. I will be suggesting this boool for my weight loss clients after putting it into practice for myself. Thanks for all your work Eliza, you are so appreciated.

Best practical book for sustainable weight loss

Live it!
Best practical book for sustainable weight loss.
It's practical, it's doable with recent technologies apps.
Every one who's not an athlete and is on the weigh loss journey, should read it.

motivational and honest. Not a gimmick.

Author lists forms to downliad off her website which are not there. this is frustrating as you cannot connect with the book.

easy to listen too..

after listening to the audible version I bought the hard cover book. Definitely takes me through steps of creating a new relationship with food. it's an eye opener.

enlightening

very helpful. will and have started implementing this insightful book in to my life.

A long lived classic in the making, worth listening over and over

I discovered this book on a trial of Otto Radio (like Netflix for audiobooks). I discontinued my Otto because most of their selection is terrible. Finding this one made it worth it. As a plus, it’s read by the author herself - which always sounds better and more natural. She’s great at helping you visualize different people talking, different bullet points, and organizing what’s on the page verbally.

I’m happy to own this one permanently. I’ve already listened to it three times. I still have a lot more to get out of it. I’m about to start working through the worksheets and journaling she recommends as part of sorting out why losing weight - and keeping it off - is so difficult for each unique person. I’m looking forward to the journey.

This is not a book to teach you how many calories you need to eat, or macro nutrients. There are plenty of great choices. They go hand in hand with this title.

There is definitely at least something in this book that will be a light bulb moment (but probably quite a few of them, each chapter was completely eye opening to me.)

Get it and add it to your regular motivation routine - it’s advice is the equivalent of going to a camp for a week and spending thousands of dollars.

Amazing book, easy to follow and listen to

Worksheets available on line.I would love to have cards to purchase with her tips and points

Helpful, but...

Very well written and very helpful had I read it first, but I didn't. I've read dr. Amen's "Change your brain change your life", which has a bit more science and that works for me better.
Very nice book, though, thank you:)
