Lose Weight the Healthy Way: How to Change Your Lifestyle and Create a New You

By James Harwood

Lose Weight the Healthy Way: How to Change Your Lifestyle and Create a New You is a book that values the natural processes your body uses to keep you in shape. Instead of becoming dependant on extreme diets, appetite suppressants or even surgery, with a bit of effort you can achieve weight loss the way nature intended.

The book covers all of the most important parts of your weight loss journey: motivation, exercise, diet, goal setting, routines, equipment, group training, rest and more.

It will help you develop your own personal program that embraces who you are now and who you want to become. This healthy approach will encourage a positive and sustainable change to your lifestyle.

Changing your lifestyle to incorporate more healthy living may seem like a challenge right now but by making a consistent effort, what feels like a grind today will become an enjoyable part of your life in the future.

I was overweight for most of my life. Right up until the time I said, “enough’s enough”. Actually, that’s not true. I had said “enough’s enough” several times throughout my life and had tried, and sometimes succeeded, to lose weight; but I never had the conviction to keep myself in shape. I would invariably end up right back where i started – overweight and unhealthy. I was depressed, self-conscious and socially awkward. Today, that is no longer the case. I’m in the best shape of my life and I’m happier than ever. My body, it seems, had a big influence on my well-being. My determination to stay this way comes from how I feel. Being healthy feels good. It gives you self-assuredness and confidence – confidence I didn’t have until now. I know that if I ever go back to being overweight I would deeply regret it. I enjoy my current lifestyle. I enjoy going for long walks and I enjoy preparing and eating healthy meals. I didn’t need to give up great tasting food either - I simply eat smarter! As a result of trying to lose weight several times, and having now succeeded, i have learnt what works and what doesn’t work - I’ve discovered the key to healthy weight loss. Through this book I wish to pass on the knowledge that i have acquired. If I can do it, you can do it.

A Note from the Author

I was overweight for most of my life. Right up until the time I said, enough’s enough. Actually, that’s not true. I had said enough’s enough several times throughout my life and had tried, and sometimes succeeded, to lose weight; but I never had the conviction to keep myself in shape. I would invariably end up right back where i started – overweight and unhealthy. I was depressed, self-conscious and socially awkward.

Today, that is no longer the case. I’m in the best shape of my life and I’m happier than ever. My body, it seems, had a big influence on my well-being.

I know that if I ever go back to being overweight I would deeply regret it. I enjoy my current lifestyle. I enjoy going for long walks and I enjoy preparing and eating healthy meals.
