Why I wrote this guide
If you take one thing from this guide, I hope it is this: you are not broken.
Your body keeps doing what it learned to do over nearly all of human history. The challenge is that the environment around us changed far faster than we did.
So lasting change does not start with a new list of forbidden foods. It can start with understanding why you eat the way you eat.
Who it is for
- You know pretty well what you should eat, and you still don't do it.
- You have tried to lose weight before and lost it – and gained it back.
- You suspect this isn't only about willpower.
The age range here is wide, weighted toward 35 and up. What's shared is wanting the change to hold afterward, too.
Questions the guide answers
This is not a list of foods to eat or avoid. It breaks down three myths that keep us stuck in guilt:
- Is weight loss really just math – calories in, calories out?
- Do you really just need more willpower?
- Does every craving mean your body needs food?
The answers are in the guide, through concrete examples.
Why read it now
Many attempts start with "this time I'll stay disciplined" – and fall apart at the first bad night's sleep or busy day.
That was never a character flaw. It was survival.
Lasting change starts with understanding, not willpower.
Why this is personal for me
I had tried to lose weight before. I had dropped weight and gained it back. I knew well enough what I "should" do.
Still, my weight eventually reached 134 kilos.
- 134 kilos – my highest weight.
- Type 2 diabetes diagnosis.
- Change started with understanding, not a new diet.
The biggest change did not start with finally learning to eat less or be more disciplined.
It started with understanding why I had eaten the way I ate. When my own relationship with food changed, it led to losing 45 kilos and to type 2 diabetes remission. Decisions about medication are always made with your own doctor.
That does not mean the same would happen to everyone.
In the guide I tell you what happened to me. Not what will happen to you.
