Introduction
Who doesn’t want to be healthy, fit, and happy for life? With two out of three American adults being overweight or obese, weight loss is a common goal for many people to stave off health problems and poor quality of life. Many diets promise weight loss but only deliver temporary results – there’s a need for a new approach. Losing weight isn’t just about what you eat; it’s also about your mental state, as well as your physical activity over the long term. It’s your total body that counts!
In today’s fast-paced society, instant gratification is highly sought after. So, people often overlook the slow steady changes that have proven to be the most effective for lasting results. Fad diets may prove effective over the short term, but they don’t address the underlying reasons for weight gain, such as poor food choices, mindless eating, and/or lack of physical activity.
Ask yourself whether you’re balanced in the main areas of your life: food, fitness, and mental health. From fueling your body right with optimal foods to embracing a regular physical activity routine to nurturing your psychological well-being with a mindful approach, Total Body Diet For Dummies offers a multidimensional, complete action plan to springboard you into a healthy lifestyle forever!
Through the tools, tips, and techniques in this book, you can develop a confidence around food to make healthy decisions anywhere, anytime. You’ll feel truly empowered to break the reins of rigid diets and learn to choose from a bounty of nutritious foods that add color, texture, and taste that will fuel your body and mind.
At first, adopting the Total Body Diet may seem like a daunting task, but this book makes it simple to tackle each of the principles gradually. As you embark on the journey of total body lifestyle changes, you’ll understand what it means to get into a wellness mindset, as well as a physical one, too. You’ll learn how to gauge your appetite, set boundaries with your food choices, and uncover your readiness to change. You’ll see the value of different types of support – from working one-on-one with a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) or another healthcare professional to garnering group support. Each chapter dives into something new, and you can read the book in any order that you choose!
The Total Body Diet gives you insight into what and how to eat to lose or maintain weight and lower your risk of chronic diseases like type-2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. It will also help you navigate the grocery story with more confidence to make healthier food choices. You’ll discover options for getting physically active, as well as ways to incorporate movement into your everyday life.
Throughout the book, you’ll see sidebars (text in gray boxes) – you can choose to read them or skip them. They give you a bit more in-depth information to give you a broader view of the topic area, but they aren’t essential to your understanding of the topic at hand.
At the beginning of every recipe chapter, we include a list of the recipes in that chapter. Any vegetarian recipes are marked with a tomato icon (•) so you can easily find them.
Within this book, you may note that some web addresses break across two lines of text. If you’re reading this book in print and want to visit one of these web pages, simply key in the web address exactly as it’s noted in the text, pretending as though the line break doesn’t exist. If you’re reading this as an e-book, you’ve got it easy – just click the web address to be taken directly to the web page.
As I was writing this book, I made some assumptions about you, the reader, so that I could home in on the focus of the book. Here are the assumptions I made about you:
✔ You want to live a long and healthy life and decrease your risk of chronic diseases.
✔ You want to connect with your mind and body in a way that is realistic to your lifestyle.
✔ You want to live your life mindfully with strategies to overcome mindless eating.
✔ You want to reap the health benefits of physical activity and get tools, tips, and strategies for being more active.
Throughout this book, you’ll see icons (small images in the margins) that are there to point out specific pieces of information. Here are the icons that I use along with a description of each:
