Rooted in cutting-edge neuroscience, psychology, and biology, Bright Line Eating explains how the brain blocks weight loss, causing people who are desperate to lose weight to fail again and again.
Bright Line Eating (BLE) is a simple approach to reversing our innate blocks through four clear, unambiguous boundaries called "Bright Lines." You will learn:

• A realistic lifestyle road map for staying on course.
BLE enables you to shed pounds, release cravings, and stop sabotaging your weight loss by working from the bottom line that willpower cannot be relied on. By allowing you to focus on your specific cravings, BLE creates the path for your own personalized journey toward success.
