Whole30's Food Freedom Forever, Melissa Hartwig

"Diets don''t work (but you already knew that). You''ve been a slave to the scale, stuck in a cycle of calorie counting and restriction, followed by frustration and anxiety once the diet is over and your old habits (and waistline) quickly return. You want to create healthy habits that last, but a diet just won''t get you there.

You need a reset--a short-term plan that will show you exactly how food affects your unique body and mind, giving you the awareness you need to create the perfect way of eating for you. Millions of people have done just that with the Whole30. This innovative program brings life-changing results in just 30 days: better energy, more restful sleep, fewer cravings, improved digestion, a reported reduction of medical symptoms and, yes, a smaller waistline.

Now, Whole30 co-founder and best-selling author Melissa Hartwig fills in the last piece of the puzzle: How do you take what you''ve learned during any short-term reset and turn it into vibrant health, good-for-you habits, and a truly healthy relationship with food--forever? Welcome to the Food Freedom plan, a detailed three-part guide to creating and sustaining your own version of a healthy, balanced diet for the rest of your life. Melissa gives you strategies for dealing with temptation, creating awareness around your habits, and spotting your food-related triggers before they''re pulled.

She outlines the five reasons you''re likely to fall off the rails and back into old unhealthy habits, and helps you create a plan for dealing with them. Most important, she''ll teach you how to gracefully recover from slips, keeping you on track with your health goals and feeling in control. She''ll also help you talk to friends and family about your new healthy lifestyle in a Way that brings you closer together...
