Book Reviews of Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think

Book Review: Life Changing Book
Summary: 5 Stars

I always wondered why as an intelligent woman who was well able to organise her life and set and achieve many goals that I was unable to control my weight. Of course, many weight loss regimes have many success stories, however for the majority they don't work or only work temporarily.

This book doesn't offer any nutritional advice but shows how we mindlessly allow weight to creep on and how we can just as easily let it creep off again. The changes suggested are subtle and yet easy to implement into a normal life and are sustainable in a longer term. If you are struggling with your weight and want to know how to retrain your eating without much real effort then please give this book a try.

Although the author offers many supporting scientific studies to support his statements it is far from being heavy and is a humourous and easy read.
