Overview

The secret to weight loss already exists and it lies within your body. Each person has the capacity to alter his/her own genetic make-up, simply by developing and consistently following certain healthy lifestyle habits. Reboot Your Body: Unlocking the Genetic Secrets to Permanent Weight Loss not only spells out what those healthy habits are, but also guides you through the process of change in order to forge those habits and ultimately achieve permanent weight loss.
Backed by hundreds of hours of research and real-world trials, the method behind Reboot Your Body is designed to succeed where other weight loss programs have fallen short.

Read an Excerpt

You’re reading this book because you want to lose weight and nothing you’ve tried so far has stuck. Chances are, you’ve tried many times before—sometimes making no progress at all, other times losing the weight, but always eventually ending up back where you started. You’ve dieted, or you’ve exercised, or you’ve attended weight loss classes; maybe you’ve even tried all three. So what could be different this time? What could this book possibly tell you that all the others have missed? Well, quite honestly, a lot. This is not a diet book or an exercise program. It doesn’t tell you to stop eating wheat or start eating like a cave dweller. It doesn’t promise that you’ll look just like that celebrity fitness trainer, or that you can eat all you want and magically lose weight. This book is not based on a quick solution or an attractive lie you might be eager to believe. This book is about you. More precisely, it’s about finding your own very specific solution to achieve permanent weight loss, based on your unique physical and emotional make-up. It offers you a step-by-step guide to finally finding the right combination of diet, exercise and behavior changes that will work with your body and, more importantly, with your personality. Based on cutting-edge science, this book will show you how implementing new patterns of behavior can re-wire your physical make-up. It isn’t simply that changing your eating and exercise habits will result in more calories burned than consumed. The key is that it will also change the way your body responds to food permanently. Ultimately, your success hinges on learning to harness the power of habit in order to re-wire your mind, which in turn will permanently change your body.

Editorial Reviews

08/10/2015
Personal trainer and health coach Brown opens her book with the statement that "obesity is all in your head." Her underlying thesis is that creating new "neural pathways" in the brain by developing new habits of thought and behavior around diet and exercise is the key to lasting weight loss. What follows is a well-constructed manual, like a coach in book form, to understanding the psychology (which is different for each person) behind overeating and under-exercising, and adjusting diet and activity to lose large amounts of weight slowly. Both practical and well-researched, the book is realistic (only about 20% of dieters who lose a considerable amount of weight can maintain the loss for more than a year) yet optimistic. Each chapter contains written exercises and "character studies" demonstrating how clients have interpreted them. Brown begins by telling readers how to analyze their diets and come up with desirable changes, then does the same for physical activity. Chapters on handling "weight-loss plateaus" and maintaining a specific weight are also helpful. Encouraging without being prescriptive, the book does not tout any one diet or exercise regime. The focus is on tackling obesity, but those interested in losing smaller amounts of weight will also find Brown's suggestions helpful. An essential companion to lifestyle change. (Aug.)

Publishers Weekly

I am impressed with the book. Rachelle gives specific, practical advice in a stepwise fashion. She is honest about how difficult change is. I like how she addresses the psychological issues of food and weight before talking about food. For the highly motivated person, I think her book will be very helpful.” — Dr. Cindy Harper
