You will never diet again.Say goodbye to calorie counting, restrictive food bans, or other forced behaviors. In Mini Habits for Weight Loss, you will learn how to lose weight naturally, in the precise way your body and brain are meant to change.We’ve blamed ourselves for lack of discipline. That didn’t help. We’ve blamed calories, carbs, and fat. That didn’t help. We’ve blamed our diet formulas. That didn’t help.It’s time we looked at the practice of dieting.Nearly all diets are ineffective because they’re based on dieting. Every person has a diet (noun), but it’s only if you are trying to lose weight that you diet (verb). Dieting is eating and drinking sparingly or selectively to reduce your weight.It doesn’t work. If you’ve tried dieting, you know that.Even the “perfect diet” with the right foods will fail if it’s approached from the traditional dieting perspective. Since weight loss experts are more concerned with biology than neuroscience, we get brilliant discussions on nutrition followed by the same dumb suggestion to “immediately start eating completely different foods than the ones you’re habitually used to eating, and give up everything else.”Are You Fighting Your Own Body and Brain?The brain resists dramatic behavioral shifts. Recognizing this and developing a strategy around it made the original Mini Habits the #1 selling self-help book in a number of countries. In Mini Habits for Weight Loss, you’ll see that we also biologically resist such changes, which explains why most dieters and smoothie-cleanse aficionados lose weight in the short term, only to gain it all back (and more) when the body adjusts.Mini Habits for Weight Loss will show you how to make dietary changes in a sustainable, permanent way that doesn’t trigger biological or neurological resistance.It’s a specialized version of the method that made the original book a hit in 14 languages. The mini habits remain easy to implement, but the reasoning and supporting tactics are more sophisticated. This is by necessity, as weight loss factors are many and varied. The strategies in the book are rooted in extensive biological and neuroscience research.You’ll discover:Why it’s a terrible idea to forbid junk food. How some of the most impactful changes you can make don’t involve either diet or exercise. Why conscious calorie restriction causes long-term weight GAIN, and how this science has been publicly available (and ignored) for more than 30 years. How the body’s change process mirrors that of the brain, and why that is great news for losing weight. Creative strategies to mitigate weight gain from eating out, social events, and holiday binge sessions. Why eating fruit is essential to losing weight (for lots of reasons). The role of exercise and an active lifestyle in weight loss, with appropriate strategies.Most importantly, you’ll learn how to change your behavior and lose weight in the long term with mini habits.Instead of reading yet another dieting book, why not try a proven behavioral change strategy that your brain and body will welcome and respond to?Lasting change won't happen until you take that first step toward a strategy that works. Read Mini Habits for Weight Loss, and you’ll never diet again.

Elastic habits are easier to form, more impactful, more fun, and more resilient than habits formed with any other strategy.These flexible habits are just as easy to form as a mini habit, but with 3x the results (or more). To explain how and why this is possible, let me give you a hypothetical scenario involving my greatest fear in the world.Imagine you’re trail running in the woods, trying to set a new personal best time. In the corner of your eye, you see a large brown object moving towards you with great speed. And now it’s upon you. You gaze up in horror at a roaring mother grizzly bear. What do you do?Continue running (adrenaline boost!)Tackle the bearPlay deadCall out “Jumanji”Go ahead and play dead. It gives you the best chance of surviving a grizzly attack. But if you treated this situation as we are taught to treat goals and habits, you wouldn’t have that option. You’d have just one option, because most goals and habits are unchanging. So here’s your one option.1. Continue running (certain death)You had a plan (trail running), but your environment changed (momma bear). Whenever that happens, you must adapt to the unexpected situation for the best result. In the case of a bear attack, it can save your life. In the case of behavior change, it can save your habits. This concept doesn’t only apply in a negative way, either. There will be times in which a situation is more favorable than anticipated, in which case, adapting to seize the opportunity is in your best interest. But if you follow any other habit book’s advice, they will tell you to do the same thing every day, to be inflexible. The Result of Static HabitsIf your static habit is small, you’ll achieve remarkable consistency (mini habits). But on days in which you can do more, it will feel (and possibly be) wrong to aim for something that easy. Over time, this may frustrate you.If your static habit is large, you’ll have occasional big wins, but whenever life sends you a figurative grizzly bear, you’ll fail and your habit may die young.Small habits are the best choice if you choose to form a static habit, but here’s why you shouldn’t.The Power of Elastic HabitsNo two days are the same. By making your habits elastic, you can adapt your aim to conquer every unique day of your life. You will still be surprised by the crazy happenings of life, no doubt, but you will no longer be unprepared for them.Elastic habits give you an answer for every situation. They destroy excuses naturally, by saying, “Okay. How about doing this instead?” If normal habits are a hammer, elastic habits are your grandfather’s garage, a magical place with a tool for every need. It’s not a burden to have a hammer, a wrench, and a screwdriver—you simply select the one you need for the job.In this book, you’ll find a comprehensive framework of elasticity for habit building. Elastic materials are stronger than rigid, brittle materials because they can adapt to pressure. The same is true for habits. Any dread or sense of monotony you’ve felt about forming habits will disappear, because this system is dynamic and exciting.Your elastic habits can survive threats and thrive in favorable circumstances. There’s no downside because they’re simply a smarter version of the habits we typically try to form. Read Elastic Habits, and you’ll soon discover the power and freedom of smarter, flexible habits that adapt to your day.
