The Shift is not about what to eat or not eat. It's not about when to eat. It's about building thinking habits, proven through science, that help you lose weight.There are so many myths surrounding weight loss: Setbacks mean failure. Big results require big goals. You need to power through alone. You have to hate your body to lose weight. Happiness awaits you only at the end of the journey.All of these are untrue, unhelpful-and actually undermine long-term weight loss.Dr. Gary Foster's 7 Mindset Shifts show you how to-and why you should-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 behavioral 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, training you to recognize when your thinking is taking you away from your goals, to focus on action rather than outcome, and to value non-scale victories more than the number on the digital display. It's evidence-based motivation-and it really works!

Same Mindset stuff, but good to be reminded

Nothing new here, but it's all good to hear again. Not necessarily life changing, unless you can always apply it. It's well written, easy to understand, and feels like friendly advise. It's worth a read, but may not have new info that you were hoping for.

Good for everyone!

This was an inspirational and enlightening book to read. It has some great information and anecdotes to help you along the weight loss, or any other type of personal improvement journey. Many good ideas such as being kind to yourself, effects of happiness, mindfulness and really so much more. The book was researched very well and included first hand narratives. I think many people will find it helpful.

Great motivation to change your self talk

The Shift is about changing your mindset. Instead of using willpower to drive your diet, utilize skillpower to take detailed steps into your weight loss journey. The book discusses how to change your negative self-talk. It also goes over research into how to set habits to make it easier to stick to your exercise goals. There are real life examples in each chapter of how the techniques have worked for others. There is a large quantity of good ideas in The Shift. While it is marketed to WW members, it can be used by anyone trying to reach a goal. I’ve been a member of WW for over a year. It would have been great to receive this book in my welcome pack. Overall, it’s a useful tool to have in your arsenal. 4 stars! Thanks to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

Informative

This is a very informative, easy to read book on ways to improve achieving weight loss/maintenance goal through habit changes and a positive attitude. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
