Mind over Body: The Key to Lasting Weight Loss Is All in Your Head

The true secret to weight-loss success is all in your head.

Nordine Zouareg has helped thousands of clients get healthier, be happier, and lose weight for good. And in the process, he's discovered something astounding: the mental work his clients do before they start their diet and exercise plan is actually just as (if not more) important than the plan itself.

In Mind Over Body, Nordine describes how everyone can find this mental motivation -- what he calls our "core desire" -- and then master the tools (visualization, meditation, affirmation) to keep on track with weight-loss goals. After readers develop this foundation, they move on to the inspiring nutrition and exercise plan--a simple, effective program developed to help shed weight and keep it off forever. You'll learn:
