Wege zum Wohlfühlgewicht

Although we know more about healthy eating than ever before and it has never been easier to eat healthily and diversely, we are becoming increasingly overweight. Heike Hinsen Isler's extensive experience as a certified nutritionist led her to pursue additional psychological training. She realized that nutritional information alone is not a promising path to losing weight. The statistics support her view. While some nutritional knowledge is necessary, often small changes in eating and cooking habits can lead to remarkable long-term success. In any case, these changes result in more sustainable success than a diet that is only followed for a few weeks.

In a compact form, the book provides guidance for readers to discover and eliminate their own stumbling blocks. A wealth of worksheets and checklists allows individuals to benefit from the author's vast experience in a personalized way. It's not about deprivation. Hinsen Isler invites readers to enjoy life with all their senses. When the eyes, ears, and skin are engaged in a holistic experience of enjoyment, it becomes easier to set aside the overpowering sense of taste. The author demonstrates that people with weight issues often play significant roles in their surroundings. They are good listeners, take on responsibilities, and give a lot—sometimes too much. As a result, they have little energy left for themselves, and using food to recharge is a common consequence. Case studies and dialogues with affected individuals reveal the psychological connections between life situations and cravings. Practical suggestions and exercises help address the identified problems at their root. Thus, this book does not merely recommend a low-fat, vegetable-rich diet. Instead, it offers concrete guidance on how to reconcile with temptation through greater respect and love for oneself.
