How to Eat

 Most diet and fitness advice fails.It focuses on short-term changes, unsustainable extremes, hacks, and gimmicks.This book was born from personal struggle. After being overweight from childhood into midlife - at one point more than one hundred pounds overweight - the author realized that past weight-loss success had always relied on excessive exercise and restrictive eating. And that’s why it never lasted.Determined to make a permanent change, he immersed himself in everything he could find - from influencers and infotainment to research studies and textbooks and college coursework- searching for what actually works.Over time, the principles of sustainable health and bodyweight management became clear.This is not another 30-day detox, a 12-week 'transformation' guide, or a 'just try harder' plan.With upwards of 150 references, it’s a grounded and clear, evidence-based guide to building a healthier body without burnout, frustration, or the endless cycle of restriction and regain.
