Escape the Diet Trap - Thryft

Sustainable, health-focused, and intuitive weight loss.

"Escape the Diet Trap" is a pioneering book, challenging the popular, yet ineffective methods of calorie counting and low-fat diets for sustainable weight loss. It sheds light on how weight loss is not just about calorie intake, but also about the impact our diets have on key hormones such as insulin and leptin. Using simple tricks and mental shifts, this book empowers readers to make intuitive, health-focused choices for long-term success.

Description

At last, a weight-loss book for the enlightened! By debunking the traditional, the conventional and the downright unproven, ESCAPE THE DIET TRAP steers would-be dieters away from short-term regimes towards long-term success. The Problem: despite a wealth of nutrition advice, rates of obesity continue to rise. While specific diets vary in approach, the advice is generally underpinned by the calorie principle: weight loss is simply a matter of ‘eating less or exercising more’. Yet both science and anecdote frequently reveal that this doesn’t work beyond the short term.The Solution: Escape the Diet Trap reveals the myriad of reasons why taking a calorie-based approach to weight loss essentially dooms us to failure. It explains that it’s not the dieter that is usually at fault, but the approach. By presenting ways of eating that offer enjoyable, satisfying fat loss, without extensive exercise, calorie-control or hunger, Escape the Diet Trap shows how to escape the cycle of restrictive attempts at weight loss and establish a healthy, sustainable relationship to food.Key Features:• A thorough debunking of conventional weight-loss theory and the calorie principle using up-to-date, published research.• Science-based information and advice about weight control and health that change beliefs about food and lead to sustained changes in eating behaviour.• Practical, easy-to-apply fat-loss strategies that do not depend on eating less or exercising more.• Nutritional strategies for quashing carbohydrate cravings quickly and easily.• Trustworthy information from a doctor and author with 20 years’ experience with thousands of patients.
