Best Weight Loss Books?
Are you on a diet? Looking to start a diet or just been
unsuccessful with one? Are you hunting around for what you
perceive to be the best weight loss dieting book?
There are a variety of so-called weight loss diet books on
the market, with each claiming to have the winning formula to
successfully losing weight. But, how do you go about identifying
which is genuinely the best weight loss book that works?
I know just what you need, however, before I tell you what it
is, bear with me while I share with you the reasons why I believe this inspirational and body image book might be right
for you!
Invariably, many weight loss books or diet books can give the
illusion that if you eat and do x y z, you will somehow
magically drop 2-3 dress sizes within a specified period of time.
If only life were that simple!
There are far more dynamics to a weight loss diet than simply
dieting and exercising! The key to this statement is spelled out
below as we unravel what countless weight loss books fail
to do!
Most weight loss books are primarily about
one fad diet or another, even those that appear more
grounded in the realities of healthy weight losss, often fail to
go beyond telling you the obvious about refusing unhealty food
choices; the importance of physical exercise; and the need for
discipline and consistency. It is as if these variables alone
constitute the magical formula for successfully losing weight.
The reality is, that
there is no such thing as a 'miracle weight loss diet'
nor, magical weight loss books. If you genuinely want to lose
weight healthily; to understand the dynamics which have prevented
or can prevent you from doing so; and how to overcome these for
successful weightloss, read on!

This excellent book is not just another weight loss book! A Waist Is A Terrible Thing To Mind tackle a real issue of Why body image is such a struggle for women. This is approached from two broad fundamental
perspectives: these are:
Society's definition and perspective of body image and
The many different factors which cause women to gain weight
Society's Definition And
Perspective Of 'Healthy' Body Image And Beauty
Linamen explores how women battle with society's definition of,
and obsession with beauty and the perfect skinny body image
which women struggle with - even where women might not even have
a weight issue.
Different Factors Which Cause Women To Gain Weight
Linamen further point to countless other factors working against
women to make them gain weight, such as
metabolism, stress, personal circumstances etc., But perhaps the
biggest culprits are the food and restaurant establishments/
industries.
Linamen explains how they work against women,
by seducing us into eating too much, leading to all manner of
food mis-use, dieting issues and causing us to feel bad or
confused about our body/image.
Written in plain English from a very humorous though, thought-
provoking and authorative slant, these two broad perspectives are
explored to the extent where you literally feel the light bulb go
on!
Understand these two perspectives of society's expectation,
the many variables that expose us women to weight gain and
you are three quarters of the way to successful, sustained weight
loss and self love!
The book can't help but make you connect with your appreciation of
the sad reality
why many women turn to cosmetic surgery, even risky procedures
and other radical forms of body make-overs to get closer to
society's expectation; all of which seldom work.
As Karen Linamen put it, no matter how close we come to society's
expectation, women who take such radical steps to make themselves
feel better, do so without much profit.
Why does these drastic steps seldom work? Because
in reality, before we can work on the external aspects of ourself,
we first need to work on our internal self with a view to
making peace with ourselves and coming to terms with what and who
we are!
A Waist Is A Terrible Thing To Mind
is not just another one of those 'read it and put it on the shelf'
kind of weight loss books. It is in a class of its own by virtue
of the fact that it does not merely look at the symptoms but
help women to understand key important issues on a deeper level. In this
sense, it tackles the underlying health, womens health issues and
barriers, unlike many weight loss books.
Although there is strong emphasis in this weightloss book on
healthy eating and fitness, surprisingly, these two
concepts are not in conflict with Linamen's stance
on the need to love and accept yourself for who you are!
In addition to showing you practically how to
confidently refuse unhealthy food choices, you will be shown:
Powerful techniques to reverse ineffective coping strategies
How to shut out negative social pressures
How to heal emotional wounds, and
How to truly value yourself
So please ignore all the hype surrounding the vast
majority of weight loss books. A Waist Is A Terrible Thing To Mind is one of the best inspirational weight loss books and Health Womens Healthy Living Goals is happy to recommend it to our readers!
Used in combination with the personal goal setting resources
and tools on the Health Womens Healthy Living Goals web site,
and you have a powerhouse of healthy weight loss tools, which
will set you above the rest!
