    About this ebook

    The diet itself is simple, because a lot of diets are too fussy and restrictive to be incorporated into daily life on any kind of long-term basis. The Mindset Diet is, in fact, beautifully simple. There are no complicated calculations, no shakes, no soups, no pills or tinctures, no recipes to follow. These type of complex 'fad' diets have not been shown to be any more effective than diets that maintain a typical mix of foods. There is no point making things more complicated than they already are. All you need to know about your food, in order to lose weight, is how many calories there are in it. Everything else is interesting, but not essential. Most of what this diet talks about is what is in your mind, not what is in your food.
    This diet isn't even really about food. Food is not the problem for people who are trying to lose weight. This diet is about the brain. For people who are trying to lose weight, their own brain is the thing most hindering them. You need to understand the innate behavior, 'hard-wired instincts', and learned behavior, 'habits' that are leading to weight gain and, more importantly, you need to learn strategies to counteract these behaviors. That is what this book is really about.

      Chapter 1 – About the Diet

      This is not one of those ‘snake oil’ diets that will boost your energy, cure your ailments, protect you from cancer, keep heart disease at bay, improve your life love and ensure your happiness. The Mindset Diet is targeted directly and exclusively at weight loss. Though, of course, losing weight has health benefits.

      The diet itself is no more or less healthy than the food you are eating right now, because it is based on the normal, everyday foods you buy and eat. The problem with your diet probably isn't the food. The problem is how you relate to it, and how you manage it. The problem is all in your mind.

      The Mindset Diet is not a quick fix diet either. It has been proven time and again that quick-fix diets are counterproductive in the long run. Even if the quick fix diet works, the habits that led the dieter to put on weight have not been addressed, and the poor dieter is soon putting all the weight back on. This diet is about changing the way you eat, forever. If you are reading this book then the chances are that you are eating either a few too many, or way too many calories every single day. This book shows you how to stop doing just that. This is a permanent change. You will not ever go back to eating even a tiny few too many calories each day.

      The diet itself is simple, because a lot of diets are too fussy and restrictive to be incorporated into daily life on any kind of long-term basis. The Mindset Diet is, in fact, beautifully simple. There are no complicated calculations, no shakes, no soups, no pills or tinctures, no recipes to follow. These type of complex ‘fad’ diets have not been shown to be any more effective than diets that maintain a typical mix of foods. There is no point making things more complicated than they already are. All you need to know about your food, in order to lose weight, is how many calories there are in it. Everything else is interesting, but not essential. Most of what this diet talks about is what is in your mind, not what is in your food.

      This diet isn't even really about food. Food is not the problem for people who are trying to lose weight. This diet is about the brain. For people who are trying to lose weight, their own brain is the thing most hindering them. You need to understand the innate behavior, ‘hard-wired instincts’, and learned behavior, ‘habits’ that are leading to weight gain and, more importantly, you need to learn strategies to counteract these behaviors. That is what this book is really about.

      The Mindset Diet doesn't preach, or make you feel bad. If you are overweight, you are, in fact, normal. The truth is, in our modern world, it is completely normal and usual for a human to become overweight by following their normal eating patterns. We live in a time of plenty with no famines, and so the reserve of fat that our bodies naturally builds up just keeps building. It never gets used, because we are never forced to go hungry
