Many of us are dizzy from years on the diet merry-go-round. Each year we promise ourselves that THIS will be the one we make a meaningful difference to our health.

The trouble is we are locked into a thinking paradigm that sabotages our best laid plans, and no amount of willpower seems enough to conquer those diet demons.

Written by nutritionist and psychologist Leanne Cooper, Change the Way You Eat, will transform your relationship with what you put on your plate to bring about life-long change. Food will no longer be your enemy and with this knowledge you can take control of your eating and shopping habits.

Not just about diet topics Change the Way You Eat is also a psychological look at why we eat what we eat. Cooper takes the focus off calories, numbers and scales, and delves into the internal and external factors that influence our food intake.  We learn how our mind and bodies give us cues that inform our decisions about what we eat, and the role mindless habit plays in repeating unhelpful behaviour. 

By examining the psychological factors that encourage us to eat more than we know we should, Change the Way You Eat provides the tools to take ownership of your eating choices, empowering you to be reflective, to enjoy food and not fear it, and to listen to your body cues again.

Discover how:
  • our stage of life, gender, financial resources and values all influence our food choices branding, packaging and labelling manipulate our shopping habits
  • our inbuilt taste preferences can determine the food we’re drawn to, and how to reprogram them
  • our environment — from the type of music playing while we eat to the number of people we eat with — can all affect our eating habits
  • our personality and emotions can determine our food choices and habits
  • take back control of our plate, become conscious eaters and gain real enjoyment from nourishing ourselves

Change the Way You Eat will help you rewire your brain to enjoy certain foods, and free you from the shackles of yo-yo dieting, so you can start a revolution with resolution and get off the diet merry-go-round forever.
