We are becoming more and more obsessed with being thin ... as we get
fatter and fatter! The craziest part is that most weight loss
'solutions' are actually part of the problem. Diet and exercise programs
fail 97% of people in the long-term, resulting in short term weight
loss, medium term regain, and long-term gain approximately 10 to 15%
above starting weight.
Scientists have known this reality for decades - the entire diet
industry is based on it - yet we keep on falling for promises of fast,
easy, permanent weight loss (and other fictional tales), putting
ourselves through rebranded versions of the exact same thing ... and
expecting different results. Some might call this insanity - weight
management psychologist Glenn Mackintosh calls it Thinsanity.
Glenn's book, THINSANITY, aims to transform the way we approach weight
management of the body, by starting with the mind. New scientific
developments are offering insights into a compassionate way to make
peace with food, fall in love with physical movement, and learn to LOVE
your body healthy. Glenn takes all those new scientific developments and
expresses them the way he does with his clients: clearly and with lots
of understanding. This book is right for anyone who wants to learn to
love their body and be healthy in it.
