Book Synopsis

Replace shame and guilt with self-compassion to change the way you think about weight loss

Author Shahroo Izadi presents a new approach losing weight--without ever telling you what or how to eat. In The Last Diet., she shares how the same evidence-based tools she used effectively with her clients who struggle with addiction helped her to lose over a hundred pounds, increase her self-esteem, and transform her habits around food and negative self-talk.

Diets often offer quick, short-term fixes and so-called miracle cures, but the real challenge is managing weight and changing habits over a sustained period of time. Everybody's journeys and needs are different: it's about shifting the way we communicate with ourselves and our bodies every single day, in every aspect of our lives. Shahroo's revolutionary kindness method gives readers the tools to embrace self-kindness and self-respect and in doing so change the narrative of health.

Using a custom-tailored plan, The Last Diet. will help you identify where your unhealthy habits come from, teach you how change them, and show you what to do when you slip up. Shahroo guides you through every step, helping you to draw out your own wisdom and find motivation to change your long-term habits and lose weight - for good.
