Weight-Loss Hero: Transform Your Mind and Your Body with a Healthy Keto Lifestyle

by Christine Carter

Overview

Discover the many benefits to the ketogenic diet beyond weight loss—including reduced anxiety, minimized depression, and even a reduction or elimination of prescription medications.

In Weight-Loss Hero, wildly popular health coach Christine Carter shares her story of leaving behind roller-coaster dieting and losing more than 150 pounds by first changing the way she thought about weight and her own worth. By teaching us how to nourish our minds so we can properly nourish our bodies, Christine provides a sustainable path to a fully integrated healthy low-carb lifestyle.

Features include:

• More than 50 original recipes with photos
• Inspiring workout tips
• Practical ways to incorporate a healthy keto diet into your life
• Keto-friendly grocery lists
• Recommended keto-friendly meals at popular restaurants

Christine uses her personal stories of overcoming failure to encourage us as only the best coaches can. With almost 300,000 Instagram followers and features in Shape, Fitness, Popsugar.com, and TODAY.com, Christine already has enthusiastic fans around the world. As she reminds us, when it comes to healthy living, weight loss doesn't begin with a new diet or exercise plan. It begins in the mind.
