Find weight loss success with "self-awareness and mental strength for surmounting inevitable obstacles and sustaining change" (Publishers Weekly).
In Mind Over Body, world-champion athlete Nordine Zouareg teaches the same program that has proven wildly successful for his clients at the Miraval Life in Balance Spa, rated the #1 spa by Conde Nast Traveler, the #1 destination spa by Travel and Leisure, and the top spa in America by Zagat. His methods have revealed something astounding: the mental work his clients do before they start their diet and exercise plan is actually just as (if not more) important than the plan itself.
Nordine describes how everyone can find this mental motivation—what he calls our "core desire"—and then master the tools (visualization, meditation, affirmation) to keep on track with weight-loss goals. After readers develop this foundation, they move on to the inspiring nutrition and exercise plan—a simple, effective program developed to help shed weight and keep it off forever. You'll learn:
The fool-proof method for preparing your mind—and your body—before you dietThirty delicious foods that are the staples of the Mind Over Body eating planWhen to cheat—without blowing your dietHow to get an effective workout in just 24 minutes a dayThe 10 commandments of mindful strength training
"Zouareg's book discusses an often-missing factor in weight-loss techniques . . . [It] outlines a four-step mental process: Identify your core desire; use the power of intention; make an appropriate action plan; apply your resolve, and make it automatic." —Tucson Weekly, "Pick of the Week"
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Born in Algeria to illiterate Bedouin parents, Zouareg entered the world in the back of a French army truck, weighing little more than two pounds. At age 19 and 108 pounds, he found what he calls an "anchor" his core desire and went on to become, simultaneously, Mr. France, Mr. Europe, Mr. World and Mr. Universe. Here, he shares strategies he uses with clients at Miraval spa in Tucson, Ariz., where he is a fitness coach. Zouareg's program contains few "shoulds" and "should nots," but it does require unflagging commitment to a core desire. To help readers identify this desire, he devotes much of the book to developing self-awareness and mental strength for surmounting inevitable obstacles and sustaining change. Central to Zouareg's plan are practices he learned while working with Dharma Singh Khalsa (Brain Longevity): meditation, visualization and affirmation. With them, Zouareg promises, readers can discover their core desire, tap into the power of intention and find the energy needed to achieve goals in every area of their lives. Advice and tips on food selection, meal frequency, portion size and exercise routines are peppered with good news: no hunger or daily weigh-ins, sanctioned "cheat days" and shorter workouts. Zouareg is an effective coach, and readers will likely find themselves returning to his words when they need support and encouragement.
