The Shift is not about what to eat or not eat. It’s not about when to eat. It’s about building thinking habits, proven through science, that help you lose weight.There are so many myths surrounding weight loss: Setbacks mean failure. Big results require big goals. You need to power through alone. You have to hate your body to lose weight. Happiness awaits you only at the end of the journey.All of these are untrue, unhelpful―and actually undermine long-term weight loss.Dr. Gary Foster’s 7 Mindset Shifts show you how to―and why you should―treat yourself in a way that feels better and primes you for likelier success. His argument and the techniques in each chapter, built on years of research and breakthroughs in cognitive behavioral therapy and positive psychology, can lead to results on the scale―but, more important, in your own thinking. The Shift flips old-fashioned weight-loss theory on its head, training you to recognize when your thinking is taking you away from your goals, to focus on action rather than outcome, and to value non-scale victories more than the number on the digital display. It’s evidence-based motivation―and it really works!The 7 Mindset Shifts include treating yourself with compassion, leaning into your strengths, appreciating the power of small steps (and more frequent rewards), finding your people, and truly relaxing into happiness and gratitude.“Diet thinking” isn’t habit-forming; mindset shifts are. And muscular yet kind mental habits, like the ones found in The Shift, are key to long-term, positive change.

The Shift: 7 Powerful Mindset Changes for Lasting Weight Loss by Andrea Beaman is a revolutionary guide to sustainable weight loss that goes beyond traditional diet and exercise advice.

Beaman argues that successful weight loss starts with a shift in mindset, away from negative self-talk and limiting beliefs, and towards a positive, empowering outlook. She presents seven key mindset changes that readers can make to overcome the challenges of weight loss and achieve lasting success.

These mindset changes include:

• Believing that you can succeed. Beaman emphasizes the importance of having a strong belief in your ability to lose weight. This means setting realistic goals, focusing on your strengths, and celebrating your successes.
• Taking responsibility for your choices. Beaman encourages readers to take ownership of their eating habits and lifestyle choices. This means making conscious decisions about what you eat and how you spend your time, and being accountable for the consequences of those choices.
• Focusing on health, not weight. Beaman emphasizes the importance of focusing on improving your overall health, rather than just losing weight. This means eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and taking care of your mental and emotional well-being.
• Learning to love yourself. Beaman argues that self-love is essential for sustainable weight loss. This means accepting yourself unconditionally, flaws and all, and treating yourself with kindness and compassion.
• Overcoming emotional eating. Beaman addresses the role that emotions play in eating habits, and provides strategies for overcoming emotional eating. This includes identifying your emotional triggers, developing coping mechanisms, and learning to eat mindfully.
• Creating a positive food environment. Beaman encourages readers to create a positive food environment at home and at work. This includes stocking your pantry and refrigerator with healthy foods, and avoiding temptation foods.
• Finding a support system. Beaman emphasizes the importance of having a strong support system. This can include friends, family members, or a weight loss group. Having people who understand and support your goals can make a big difference in your journey to lasting weight loss.

The Shift: 7 Powerful Mindset Changes for Lasting Weight Loss is a comprehensive and practical guide to sustainable weight loss. Beaman's compassionate and empowering approach makes this book an essential resource for anyone who wants to lose weight and keep it off for good.
