Product Description
Review
This companion volume to the BBC series offers aid to everyone trying to keep New Year's resolutions, with an excellent six-step plan for weight loss. The approach is holistic: this is not just another scheme based on counting calories and cutting out nice treats. Instead Costain focuses on how to get your head around dieting, how to prepare for losing weight, how to increase activity levels, how to change eating behaviours and habits, and how to assess which diet might work for you. Most importantly, it will help you keep the weight off for life, helping to avoid yo-yo dieting and 'quick fix' methods, which simply do not work. The author suggests that getting your psychological approach right is critical to losing weight, and so there is a lot of attention given to why we eat, and how our 'toxic environment' encourages us to eat for reasons other than hunger. There's no rocket science here, just straightforward and readable information and advice that makes a lot of sense. Lyndel Costain provides genuinely useful information on all aspects of weight, food, health, exercise and diet and for those who like their checklists, self-assessment questionnaires and meal planners there's plenty of that too. This book doesn't promise huge weight loss in record time. Instead it should help those who are prepared to put in effort and mental preparation to lose weight sensibly, healthily and permanently, yielding lasting benefits. (Kirkus UK)
