This book is meant to be your tool for self-discovery and achieving a permanent and healthy weight. It is a handbook for you to refer to as you continue to make changes to your eating and exercise habits and the thinking and feelings you hold about yourself.

Ultimately you will become clear about your feelings in a way that will allow you to find the lifestyle that suits you and change your weight permanently to a weight that is healthy and easily maintained.Diets do not work. If you know that this book is for you. The human species has evolved over many thousands of years to withstand shortages of food and has developed physiologically to utilize a wide range of food. Unfortunately, in a remarkably short period, that has changed, and most people no longer endure any shortage of food and mostly eat foods never found during any part of our prior history. This has set up disastrous conditions. Losing weight is not what evolution designed the body to do, at no time in our earlier history was humankind trying to lose weight. Your subconscious mind sets your weight to best suit your health and your survival; this is called your weight set point. The subconscious mind has many tools for regulating your weight set point, primarily appetite and metabolism. These tools are both physiological and psychological/emotional. The subconscious mind is guided by instinct and wisdom acquired over thousands of previous generations that takes each generation's experience into account and not just yours, and this knowledge is passed from generation to generation through DNA and other biological means. To achieve permanent weight loss, you must change the way your subconscious mind regulates your weight set point. To change the way your subconscious mind governs your weight set point you must know how to make changes to your subconscious mind.
