Grand Theft Weight Loss: How Stealing Scientific Discoveries Outside The Diet Industry Helps You Lose Weight

Here’s the problem with anti-diet, intuitive and mindful eating books: How are you supposed to lose weight without dieting? How is “intuitive eating” going to help you manage 5-alarm cravings? How is “mindful eating” going to stop runaway hunger?
