With The Diet Fix, weight loss expert Dr. Yoni Freedhoff offers a groundbreaking, useable guide to begin living happily while losing weight permanently.

It is time to break the cycle of traumatic dieting. Despite the success stories publicized by Atkins, South Beach, Weight Watchers, and others, 90% of all diets end in failure. How can we fix the way we lose weight so that we make results last? Whether used on its own or in conjunction with any other diet, Dr. Freedhoff’s program shows how to replace a toxic dieting mindset with positive beliefs and behaviors.

Dr. Freedhoff has uncovered the flawed thinking that sabotages even the most earnest weight loss efforts. The majority of dieting or weight loss programs call for regular sacrifice: Give up an entire food group; fight hunger day and night; undertake exhausting and grueling exercise regiments. These approaches are unrealistic, unhealthy, and make it nearly impossible to maintain results.

Now, at last, there is hope. In The Diet Fix, Dr. Freedhoff offers a tested program for breaking down the negative thought patterns that prevent people from losing weight and keeping it off. Through the course of years of research and patient treatment, he has developed a 10-Day Reset that supports losing weight while maintaining a healthy, enjoyable lifestyle. This reset is designed to eliminate the habits that so often lead to weight gain: use it to shut down cravings, prevent indulgences from turning into binges, and break up with the scale once and for all. The 10-Day Reset can make any diet more effective, whether it’s low-carb, low-fat, meal replacement, calorie tracking, or anything in between.

Includes a bonus PDF of recipes and end-of-day checklists from the 10–Day Reset

Wonderful sensible advice that works

I have done lots of stupid things to lose weight until so far. I now know why some things work and some others not thanks to this book. This is an important book for people with struggles regarding weight loss.

Very good but audible version could be better.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. I liked that author had a scientific but compassionate approach to weight loss and weight maintenance. He has a fresh or alternative way of looking at weight loss. Awesome, that he appreciates that people are individuals. I liked that he pointed out that the food industry had a lot in stake.

What other book might you compare The Diet Fix to and why?

Geneen Roth -- When Food is Love and Feeding the Hungry Heart. Not scientific but more about mindfulness while eating and being compassionate to yourself to get to your individual weight.

What about Yoni Freedhoff’s performance did you like?

He spoke clearly and I liked that he repeated what he said over and over again. I am curious if the book version is similar. But it helped with remembering his diet approaches.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

A lot of moments! 1. People who are happy with their weight are happy with their life. 2. He differentiated binge eaters into two different groups. 3. That losing weight doesn't mean you have to suffer. 4. That he added questions 2 and 3 before you put a piece of "forbidden" food in your mouth.

Any additional comments?

It would be great if the PDF had markers to go with the 10 Day plan so that the listener could go back and listen without searching for it. I am now planning to re-listen to the book and mark it myself. For that , I did not give 5 stars. For the price of the audio book and not having a companion book available for purchase it is very inconvenient. I listened to the book while walking and I had to accelerate the speed of the narration to 1.5x otherwise the cadence of his voice slowed me down. But otherwise, it was easy to listen to his narrative style and follow along and learn what he is trying to teach the listener.

Finally, what I need to know about a good life

This book was full of advice and encouragement, with a side of reality. A great read.

An Oasis to Chronic dieters
