Don't feel guilty about being overweight. It's not your fault! You're up against giant companies that do everything to keep you eating more. It's a really tough battle - but one you can win. Nobody should feel shame while looking for weight loss support. Most 'fitness influencers' promote diets with short term success and unsustainable lifestyles from behind an Instagram filter. Don't let them influence you. This book is not about making you feel guilty or introducing you to the latest diet trends. It's about setting you up with a clear vision. We want to eliminate frustration and the feeling of being overwhelmed. The most important thing is getting started. For the 2nd edition of this book we've created six steps to permanent weight loss, one step per chapter. In each of the chapters you'll find To-Dos that will help you shatter your obstacles. Step 1. Put yourself in the right mindset and environment to get started. Step 2. Set your kitchen up for success. Step 3. Start to know your foods and get a healthy vegetarian nutrition crash course. Step 4. Learn the basics of weight loss and set your goal. Step 5. Set up a safety net and fallback plans for when things get difficult. Step 6. Choose from over 100 recipes and use a meal plan that really works. We've laid out these action steps in more detail throughout the book - they're manageable, small steps that can be taken one at a time. And they're all important - they're where we start to make true progress.
