Beat Your Weight Beat Your Fat by Ian Breaker

Beat Your Weight Beat Your Fat: How To Lose Our Weight with Weight Loss Mastery by Ian Breaker is a hands-on guide to weight loss that looks at dieting from a different perspective. With clear writing and accessible scientific data, this is not the average diet book, but a companion towards a more mindful lifestyle.

Breaker’s nutrition program is based on a deeper understanding on just what we’re eating, rather than following strict rules without quite knowing why. Instead of starving ourselves, obsessively counting calories, and rushing towards the end line, Breaker’s method is built to work on the long term, instilling in the reader a new sense of consistency, patience, knowledge, and even pleasure. To like what we eat, argues Breaker, is the best way to ensure that we will keep our good habits even after we’ve achieved our ideal weight, which means that we are going to keep it.

Breaker writes knowledgeably, precisely, and coherently throughout the book, while also showing remarkable empathy for his readers and those who struggle with weight loss. Easing the reader into his ideas, without making people feel inadequate or weak for past problems, provides the perfect frame for the reader to follow these methods. Refreshingly forthright that there are no quick fixes, the book should be helpful for people to develop good habits over time – and not only with food.

With practical exercises and well-explained science, Beat Your Weight Beat Your Fat is an excellent guide for living a healthier life, with a more well-rounded approach than so many other weight loss guides that are narrower in their approach.
