The book that has changed my views on something recently is a book by Zoe Harcombe called Stop Counting Calories & Start Losing Weight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After a year on Weight Watchers I was four months into the most rotten plateau I\u2019ve ever experienced.\u00a0 I was also disappointed in the lack of improvement in my health.\u00a0 So my in laws suggested I read this book, as it had changed their lives, and everything soon changed for me as well.<\/p>\n

It totally opened my eyes to how flawed the calorie counting diets system is, how I shouldn\u2019t be afraid of healthy fats but should, in fact, fear the carbs, sugar and processed foods I\u2019d been feeding myself.\u00a0 It was a bit hard to get my head around it at first, as though I almost had to de-program myself to stop believing what has been fed to me (pardon the pun) my whole life.<\/p>\n

Finding this book is the best thing that\u2019s ever happened to me.\u00a0 It\u2019s helped me wipe Type 2 diabetes out of my life, lose weight and generally feel happier and healthier, something a lifetime of calorie counting diets has never been able to properly achieve.
\nIt isn\u2019t a lifestyle for everyone (although it should be), it requires a lot of hard work and it\u2019s something you need to believe in<\/em> before you can do it.\u00a0 Unless you read it yourself and hear what she has to say, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s possible to follow the diet wholeheartedly.\u00a0 You\u2019ll never truly understand why you are doing it otherwise.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard, and I don\u2019t always succeed at it but I know that the things she says are true, or at least MORE true than any of the bull I was learning from Weight Watchers.\u00a0 It\u2019s hard to imagine how I ever thought that eating as much pasta, potato or rice as I wanted for \u2018points\u2019 was ever a healthy diet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
