Note: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All of the opinions are my own and this did not affect my review in any way.
I was very intrigued with the idea of this book focusing more on the psychology of weight loss than actually telling you what to eat. So when I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review I started reading right away.
The Last Diet is a book that presents a new approach losing weight focusing on the psychology and through evidence-based tools the author used effectively with her clients who struggled with addiction.
I think this book is great. This book gives you the tools to help you identify what you want to change, why you want to change it and find proper motivation along the way. It helps readers replace shame and guilt with love, compassion and self-acceptance. My favorite part of the book, and I think it is what makes it unique, is that it focuses on the mental and emotional thinking of our eating habits. It really encourages us to first work on the internal things while assuming that once we have them under control the external things will follow.
This book is great for mental health as well, you feel good while completing the exercises and in the end you end up with a new feeling of motivation that if put with the right diet could really be the last diet you would ever need. The author includes so many examples that it is impossible not to feel related to some of the issues all of us experience in our weight loss journey.
Overall I don’t believe this is a magical book that will automatically help you lose weight, I still believe you need to go to a proper specialist to do that, but I can really appreciate how much self-reflection this book made me do. Of course this book won´t make me lose weight just by simply reading it but I loved how much I discovered about myself after reading it.
If you are currently going through a weight loss journey and you are starting to fell stuck I would definitely give this books a chance.
