Summary

From the newly-rebranded WW, The Shift is not about points, or what to eat or not eat. It’s about building new thinking habits, proven through science, to help readers lose weight.

Description

Can you lose weight before you value your body? Are big goals needed to achieve big results? Do you deserve to go it alone because you got yourself into this? Is it possible for a weight loss journey to avoid setbacks? Must gratitude and happiness wait until you’ve succeeded at your wellness goal?No. To all of it.Dr. Foster’s 7 Mindset Shifts show you how—and why—to treat yourself in a way that feels better and primes you for likelier success. His argument and the techniques in each chapter, built on years of research and breakthroughs in cognitive behavioural therapy and positive psychology, can lead to results on the scale—but, more important, in your own thinking. The Shift flips old-fashioned weight-loss theory on its head. It’s evidence-based motivation—and it really works!The 7 Mindset Shifts include learning to enhance the traits you like best about yourself, leaning into your strengths, appreciating the power of small steps, finding your people, and truly relaxing into happiness and gratitude. “Diet thinking” isn’t habit-forming; mindset thinking is. And muscular yet kind mental habits, like the ones found in The Shift, are key to permanent, positive change.
