Synopsis:

We all think we know what we have to do to manage our weight, and blame ourselves when we do not meet the goals we have set. In reality, we need to understand the biology behind the body’s regulation of weight to achieve the control we are hoping for. And we need strategies for overcoming obstacles: the stress of daily life, emotional upsets, and people who sabotage our efforts or attack our self-esteem.

The Cognitive Behavioural Workbook for Weight Management is a different kind of weight management guide that focuses on helping you stay disciplined and dedicated to your weight management goals by using cognitive behavioural therapy. This approach has been used by therapists for years to treat a diverse range of mental health conditions, and researchers have found that it also helps people make healthy changes that last.

This workbook includes exercises and worksheets to help you design a customised weight management strategy most likely to be effective for you based on the habits and lifestyle you have now. You’ll set specific goals to improve your body image and your health, and follow a realistic weight management plan designed specifically for you. It is possible to feel good about yourself as you work toward a healthier lifestyle. This book will show you how.

Learn to:

  • Manage situational, emotional, and interpersonal eating triggers.
  • Overcome body image difficulties and critical thoughts.
  • Make changes toward weight management that you actually enjoy.
  • Use support from friends and family to bolster success.

Book: The 7 Principles of Stress

Book Title:

7 Principles of Stress: Extend Life, Stay Fit, and Ward off Fat. What You Didn’t Know About How Stress Can Reboot Your Mind, Energy, and Sex Life.

Author(s): Ori Hofmekler.

Year: 2017.

Edition: First (1st).

Publisher: North Atlantic Books, US.

Type(s): Paperback and Kindle.

Synopsis:

Ori Hofmekler, acclaimed author of The Warrior Diet and one of the first proponents of intermittent fasting, challenges conventional wisdom about diet, fitness, and anti-aging with a new approach to health that uses stress to live longer, stay fit, and ward off fat.

Supported by cutting-edge research, this book redefines the term “nutrition” as it reveals the stress-mimicking nutrients that yield the same benefits as fasting and exercising.

At the core of the book is the biology of stress and the way it affects key aspects of life from feeding and sexual behavior to mental and physical performance. Hofmekler demonstrates that that there is a thin line between beneficial stress and harmful stress, and shows how to put knowledge of the difference into powerful practice.

His book is a call to action – a manifesto of living life to its utmost evolutionary potential, under stress, as nature intended.

It is always trying to protect you from threats, however, it is completely confused about what are true threats in the modern world.

Gain an understanding of why society stigmatises anxiety and gain a better understanding of your own anxiety beast with humour and compassion. Your Anxiety Beast and You takes you through step-by-step strategies to cope with the howling of the beast in your mind, the physical effects of anxiety on your body, and then focuses on ways to come up with ‘teachable moments’ for your anxiety to learn that what you fear is not actually a threat.

With over 25 years of experience helping people with anxiety disorders and OCD, Dr Goodman aims to help you make peace with the reality of your anxiety. And then to help you re-focus on making your anxiety a better companion.
