As someone who struggles with body image, weight, and all of the societal norms that are pushed on you for what is and is not acceptable this book was spot on with all of the behavior based therapy I have gone through. It gives very simple steps and journaling techniques to ensure that you have a lasting result, not just a quick fix that most diets and fads result in. Strongly recommend for anyone.

I read many books about weight loss. I feel like this book really hit home. I know the best things that I should eat...but my mind is what sabotages me. This book really spoke to me and I hope that I can practice the ideas that were shared with me in this book. I plan to buy this book for the library where I work.

Developing a personal diet or fitness plan -- and sticking to it -- is as much a mental challenge as it is a physical one. As someone who has struggled with making realistic goals and sticking with my fitness program for the long haul, I really needed a book like this one!

I enjoyed Ian K. Smith's book Clean & Lean. His no-nonsense, straight forward approach to eating and weight loss made incorporating intermittent fasting into my lifestyle an easy switch. When I saw the title to this new book, I knew I had to read it! I'm glad I did....there is so much awesome information in this book!

Mind Over Weight covers many of the pitfalls of starting a diet/fitness plan -- motivation, making realistic goals, assessing your readiness to start a program, and sticking with it. There are lots of places to personalize your book by filling in your goals/strengths/weaknesses. I'm definitely buying a copy of this for my keeper shelf! I like the fact that I can fill in my thoughts and goals and make the book part of my personal fitness/healthy eating journey.

Another great book from Ian K. Smith. I'm definitely eagerly awaiting his next one!

**I voluntarily read a review copy of this book from St. Martin's Press. All opinions expressed are entirely my own.**

This is a very interesting book. It has a lot of good information and it is explained in an easy to understand format.

The premise is to get your mind wrapped around your motivation and then make a plan and follow it. The book has a quiz one can take to find out where you are as you start your journey to weight loss.

I like this author very much and think he does a good job of helping people with weight loss. It is a touchy subject with some people and Ian Smith writes in a very approachable manner.
