Who are the people who tell you to avoid your scale--and why? "Moderation" is very common weight loss advice. What makes it so difficult for people to follow? If you need to lose weight, you're not alone. There has been a stunning jump in obesity in the past 50 years. Now, more than 71 percent of people in the United States are overweight or obese. This increase is not caused by a massive failure of willpower. We're not experiencing an explosion of greed. No, many of us are just living in an environment that encourages constant overeating. We're playing a game that we're not equipped to win. But Weigh Every Day can help you win. With the ideas, advice, and understanding that you get from this book, you can win the weight battle through sustainable, lifetime habits. What if what you hear from almost everyone, "Weighing yourself every day just leads to obsession and anxiety" is flat-out wrong? What if avoiding the scale can actually cause weight gain? You'll learn how this happens in Weigh Every Day. You may be trying to lose a substantial amount of weight, or perhaps it's a few pounds that have slowly built up. You need to know specifically how to lose the weight--permanently? There's so much advice out there, so many books, programs, and products. There's fads and lots of conflicting recommendations. Who knows what to believe? Weigh Every Day is based on understanding and avoiding the factors that cause people to gain weight. You don't need to follow extreme diets. And you decide what your plan is. Weigh Every Day will show you: The reasons why obesity has skyrocketed in the past 50 years How an in-depth understanding of these reasons can help you lose weight The backstory on how stepping on the scale daily improves your habits Why weekly weigh-ins can cause problems How you can avoid "Moment of Truth" thinking when weighing yourself Tips that make your daily weigh-in anxiety-free and automatic And you'll learn about food rules: The reason why trying to eat small portions of addictive foods can lead to failure Why food rules--having a clear line between food you eat and food you don't eat--can be much easier than moderation How personalized food rules are more effective than "one-size fits all" rules The features of a good food rule, compared to a bad one Specific ways to avoid feeling deprived Why slow habit changes (instead of a big overhaul) gives you more chance of success There's a lot of weight-loss hype out there. Many well-intentioned, convincing people are selling plans and programs. But are these plans and programs based on theories that makes sense? Do they take into account the reasons behind the obesity epidemic? No. Usually they just push something that sounds appealing, like "Eat all the meat you want and still lose weight!". But these aren't sustainable. Don't waste time on these. Discover how the ideas and strategies in Weigh Every Day can help you on your weight loss journey.
