Publisher's summary
You will never diet again.
Say goodbye to calorie counting, restrictive food bans, or other forced behaviors. In Mini Habits for Weight Loss, you will learn how to lose weight naturally in the precise way your body and brain are meant to change.
We've blamed ourselves for lack of discipline. That didn't help.
We've blamed calories, carbs, and fat. That didn't help.
We've blamed our diet formulas. That didn't help.
It's time we looked at the practice of dieting.
Nearly all diets are ineffective because they're based on dieting. Every person has a diet (noun), but it's only if you are trying to lose weight that you diet (verb). Dieting is eating and drinking sparingly or selectively to reduce your weight.
It doesn't work. If you've tried dieting, you know that.
Even the "perfect diet" with the right foods will fail if it's approached from the traditional dieting perspective. Since weight loss experts are more concerned with biology than neuroscience, we get brilliant discussions on nutrition followed by the same dumb suggestion to "immediately start eating completely different foods than the ones you're habitually used to eating, and give up everything else."
Are you fighting your own body and brain?
The brain resists dramatic behavioral shifts. Recognizing this and developing a strategy around it made the original Mini Habits the number-one selling self-help book in a number of countries. In Mini Habits for Weight Loss, you'll see that we also biologically resist such changes, which explains why most dieters and smoothie-cleanse aficionados lose weight in the short term, only to gain it all back (and more) when the body adjusts.

Story
One afternoon - after another failed attempt to get motivated to exercise - I (accidentally) started my first mini habit. I initially committed to do one push-up, and it turned into a full workout. I was shocked. This "stupid idea" wasn't supposed to work. I was shocked again when my success with this strategy continued for months (and to this day). I had to consider that maybe I wasn't the problem in those 10 years of mediocre results. Maybe it was my prior strategies that were ineffective, despite being oft-repeated as "the way to change" in countless books.

Like everyone else, she tried many different diets and programs, but would always regain the weight.

When it comes to setting and achieving your goals, how you think influences what you do. Whether developing a sustainable relationship with food, jump-starting a new fitness routine to shoot for a certain number on the scale, or tackling a health issue, mindset is key to meeting your goals—but it can also often be the most neglected element in any attempt to change behavior. While you might know what you want to do, the key to success is understanding why you want to do it, and how you make a plan that works for you in the long term.

Perfectionism is a naturally limiting mindset. For example, kids are taught to color inside the lines, and any color outside the lines is considered a mistake that must be corrected. Imperfectionism frees us to live outside the lines, where possibilities are infinite, mistakes are allowed, and self-judgment is minimal.

Your power to change one moment can create life-changing momentum. In The Magic of Momentum, international best-selling author Stephen Guise reveals how momentum works differently in our behavior and lives than it does in other areas. Behavioral momentum, however, is far more powerful than other forms of momentum. It’s not the “string of successes” we often perceive it to be. Behavioral momentum is layered and exponential because every action you take changes how your brain interprets that behavior.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

I had to consider that maybe I wasn't the problem in those 10 years of mediocre results.

Your power to change one moment can create life-changing momentum. In The Magic of Momentum, international best-selling author Stephen Guise reveals how momentum works differently in our behavior and lives than it does in other areas. Behavioral momentum, however, is far more powerful than other forms of momentum. It’s not the “string of successes” we often perceive it to be. Behavioral momentum is layered and exponential because every action you take changes how your brain interprets that behavior.

I wanted it to be more about mini habits and less about research on weight loss
I was intrigued by the idea of mini habits so I started listening to this book. The whole first half of the book is research on weight loss that you’ve probably heard if you’ve read or learned much about weight loss. (Diets don’t work etc)
When he does get into the section on mini habits it’s kind of the same info repeated over and over, and what worked for him. I’d like to hear more compelling stories of other people who turned mini habits into big successes. Also more ideas for good mini-habits to try. I don’t know that the mini habits he suggests would do a heck of a lot for long-term weight loss and maintenance unless you turned them into “maxi-habits”. (I just made up that term.)
I don’t want to shoot down this book because it did have some good ideas and info in it. It just could’ve been a lot shorter or a lot more to the point about mini habits. Maybe a condensed version of this book would have been more what I was looking for.

Skip the first half!
The first half consists of general info why diets don't work. Skipping this section will save you much time as most of the info there is nothing you have never heard before. The second half is the actual explanation and how to implement the mini habits. Once I skipped the first half, I learned quite a lot!

Finally a real plan for change!
This is not about fast results. It's about rewiring the brain so you no longer want to keep an unhealthy lifestyle. It utilizes the brains short term reward system response to solidify better choices iin the long run and gain eventual results that don't send you back to the endless cycle of weight gain that yoyo dieting inevitably does. This approach removes the element of deprivation, shame and fear often associated with other diet plans. Sound research and science, logical and entertaining, and I really agree with the concept of whole natural foods. This concept is now becoming my new approach to everything I hope to accomplish.

Great advice, especially for young, active men
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I absolutely adore this author's perspectives on behavioral change. I have a PhD in social psychology with an emphasis in behavioral health, and his mini habits approach is exactly the way to make conscious changes. Almost every habit I've mastered, from cleaning my house to drinking water to meditating to writing a dissertation, was achieved because I was able to commit to tiny, daily behaviors. His book is very well written, documented, and narrated.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The drawback of the book is his insistence that weight loss can result from increasing servings of whole foods. He convincingly explains that if you're going to eat a big burger or doughnut, it's better to first eat a fruit, vegetable, or egg. I agree that it's much, much better to focus on what TO DO to lose weight rather than what NOT to do. If we focus on NOT eating, we obsess, and we're not building new, constructive habits.However, he is too dismissive of calories. Young, active men or highly athletic women can fill themselves up on whole foods, be satisfied, and accrue a caloric deficit. Older, smaller, and more female people can easily gain weight eating moderate portions of fruits, nuts and avocados. An active, 30-year-old male who is 6 feet tall can lose a pound a week eating THREE THOUSAND calories a day. An inactive 50 year old woman who is 5-foot-2 would need to cut her calories to TWELVE HUNDRED calories a day to lose a pound per week. Huge difference. If she eats 1 avocado, that's 25% of her daily caloric allotment.
Any additional comments?
Through my research and work, I've noticed that the biggest problem for most women is nervous snacking throughout the day. Men are more likely to eat unhealthy foods in unhealthy quantities. Women are more likely to nibble nervously on snacks every hour or two, usually fruits, dried fruits, boba drinks, sweet coffee drinks, and nutrition bars. Some of those foods are technically whole foods, but they result in weight gain for people with slower metabolisms and smaller bodies. To his credit, he never says listeners are required to follow a whole foods diet to apply his other principles. He recommends other behavioral additions, such as drinking water with meals, chewing more thoroughly at meals, and increasing activity. I'd love to hear more tips from him on how people can build habits of not eating between meals. For instance, aiming for certain times of the day when food is off limits and slowly building up mini-fasts throughout the day.
