NEVER SAY DIET Make Five Decisions and Break the Fat Habit for Good

Hobbs lost the weight in her head first by using five mental steps, steps that people with a wide range of weight issues will appreciate. Narrating with a natural, youthful voice, she unfolds detailed but always-accessible information about nutrition, metabolism, and exercise physiology. Strategies from the worlds of addictions and positive psychology reveal a sophisticated grasp of the dynamics of personal change. With arresting insights about habits and structure, she reveals an amazing knack for unpacking the objections that hang up most unsuccessful dieters.
