Bob Harper lets us in on the secret behaviors of people who not only lose weight but keep the pounds off for good—and make it look easy.   In Bob Harper’s #1 New York Times bestselling book The Skinny Rules, the trusted trainer and coach of NBC’s The Biggest Loser laid out the twenty nonnegotiable eating rules for getting thin.   In the process of helping countless men and women reach their weight loss goals, Harper has noticed six fundamental patterns in the lifestyle choices of those who succeed long-term—from the unique way they plan ahead to how they organize their environment and social calendars to even the way they dress. With his signature authority, colorful stories, and real-world solutions, Harper draws on the most up-to-date research related to habit formation, neuroplasticity, and cognitive behavioral psychology to show how feeding your brain—“the muscle between your ears”—can wield as much control over your weight as what you put in your mouth.   With anecdotes about his clients, guided steps for adopting your new practices, and tips for integrating them into your own daily routine, Skinny Habits has everything you need to shape your body and your life!

I know that you know a thing or two about the simple math of energy in and energy out (i.e., you’ve got to burn more energy through movement than you put in through your mouth in the form of food), and you’ve studied up a bit on nutrition (a whole lot less processed food, a whole lot more vegetables). You probably have a handle on what you need to do to manipulate your metabolism to burn more fat. And I’m guessing you have experienced firsthand the way your body sometimes reacts to your attempted manipulations: if it thinks that you’re going through a drought or famine, it does its best to store fat to protect you. Unfair, but true. The details of what to put in your mouth and how much to exercise are, of course, super important when it comes to weight loss and weight maintenance, and I want you to learn as much as you can about nutrients and calories and the importance of timing when it comes to eating. Again, I encourage you to read The Skinny Rules for the facts and principles that will put you on a path to a much healthier weight. And I encourage you to cook more for yourself and to try new and weight-­friendly recipes. I’ve got a book for that too: Skinny Meals. But then you’ve got to follow through on your intentions to cook and eat better, to listen to your body, and to stop eating when you are full! Because that’s what skinny people have the willpower to do, right? But what is willpower? People who don’t struggle with their weight seem to have self-­control in spades, so much so that it seems natural, effortless. You seem to lack it; conjuring willpower and using it takes a megadose of conscious effort, effort you just don’t have in you. To my trained eye, willpower is all about mindset. More specifically, a “skinny mindset.” And there’s good science to prove that I’m on to something. Mind Over Matter? Your mindset is your outlook on life, your underlying attitudes, biases, and assumptions about how the world works and your place in it; it’s a disposition shaped by years of exper...
