Synopsis

We are becoming more and more obsessed with being thin ... as we get fatter and fatter! The craziest part is that most weight loss 'solutions' are actually part of the problem. Diet and exercise programs fail 97% of people in the long-term, resulting in short term weight loss, medium term regain, and long-term gain approximately 10 to 15% above starting weight.

Scientists have known this reality for decades - the entire diet industry is based on it - yet we keep on falling for promises of fast, easy, permanent weight loss (and other fictional tales), putting ourselves through rebranded versions of the exact same thing ... and expecting different results. Some might call this insanity - weight management psychologist Glenn Mackintosh calls it Thinsanity.

Glenn's book, Thinsanity, aims to transform the way we approach weight management of the body, by starting with the mind. New scientific developments are offering insights into a compassionate way to make peace with food, fall in love with physical movement, and learn to LOVE your body healthy. Glenn takes all those new scientific developments and expresses them the way he does with his clients: clearly and with lots of understanding. This book is right for anyone who wants to learn to love their body and be healthy in it.

This book is a phenomenal insight into the diet industry. I, myself, have struggled with societies norms of ‘thinness’ which have resulted in my own struggles with body image and weight which have lead to crazy diets and exercise programs which have controlled my youth.

Goodreads review by Julie on September 24, 2024

A great starting point to stop dieting. It's definitely a good idea to dive deeper into topics like intuitive eating, eft, inner child work with other books, but the book is a great road map and offers a lot of depth in itself. It also doesn't shy away talking about the length of this journey. You c......more
