Welcome to Litsy!

This book can't give you a six-pack in seven days or the skin of a supermodel. But I can promise that if you make even a few of these adjustments, your eating life will alter for the better in ways that you can sustain. The change that we are so desperate for is possible. Unlike a diet, these tweaks work with your appetites, rather than against them. It's not about being thin - although for those who need it, long-term weight loss can definitely be done, no matter what people say - but the real end-goal is reaching the point where food is something that sustains you and gives you joy, rather than making you unhealthy or unhappy. You know you have changed when the new habits start to be automatic and the old clamour of guilt and indulgence is switched off. One day, you eat a platter of fresh and vibrant greens with soy sauce and garlic, not because you think you should or because it's January, but because it happens to be what you feel like eating at that precise moment. In this new life, a life beyond diets, there is no fail.
