This book is a revolutionary approach to weight loss that goes beyond dieting and deprivation and embraces the desires and needs of the human body and spirit. The core difference between Julie’s plan and other weight loss programs is that you begin by shifting your perception of what it takes to lose weight and become fit. In Fat Is Not a Four Letter Word, you will learn to reprogram your “fat kid mentality:” a societal way of thinking that sets up limiting beliefs about food, exercise, and what it means to be healthy. You’ll retrain your brain and body to put an end to the dieting dance forever and crave foods that help you lose fat and gain energy. You will also fundamentally alter your relationship to food, understand and honor your body, and enjoy movement and fitness as part of your daily life. You will find Julie’s system to be fun, inspiring, and simple to follow.
