Your health has a mind of its own.
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.
The Noom Mindset, created by the leading digital health company that has helped millions achieve their weight and health goals, deconstructs habits around the core drivers of body weight: what we eat and how much we move. You'll discover how your habits around eating and weight management are impacted by your own self-confidence, stress, habits, lifestyle choices, and the rollercoaster of motivation (yes, it's supposed to go up and down). Best of all, you'll learn skills that can be applied to any behavior you want to change, habit you want to break, or life you want to create.
This book is an instruction manual for achieving sustainable lifestyle changes plus many other health-related outcomes, including weight loss. With The Noom Mindset, you'll learn how to:

Why do most diets fail? Why does one person eat a certain meal and gain weight, while another eating the same meal loses pounds? Why, despite all the advice about what to eat, are we all still getting fatter?
The answers are much more surprising - and fascinating - than we've been led to believe. The key to health and weight loss lies not in the latest fad diet, nor even in the simple mantra of 'eat less, exercise more', but in the microbes already inside us.
Drawing on the latest science and his own pioneering research, Professor Tim Spector demystifies the common misconceptions about fat, calories, vitamins and nutrients. Only by understanding what makes our own personal microbes tick can we overcome the confusion of modern nutrition, and achieve a healthy gut and a healthy body.
Letter from JoyI discovered that I was 'gluten intolerant' a couple
of years ago whilst I was writing 'Nosh Gluten-Free'. Friends had
asked me to write a gluten-free book, but during the process, I
realised that the stomach pains, which I had thought were due to
medication I was taking, were significantly relieved when I cut out
gluten from my diet. I was glad to find the cause of the problem,
but knew that this would make life challenging! So I began my
journey of gluten-free living with the book 'NOSH Gluten-Free' to
help me and now I have added this latest book, 'NOSH Gluten-Free
Baking'. I have to be frank and say that the 'Baking' book has been
the hardest book I have ever written; I have never had to deal with
so many failed attempts in all my years of cooking! For instance,
bread depends on gluten for its elasticity and 'bounce'. I must
have made about 50 different breads, all of which ended up in the
bin, before coming up with the new ones in this book, and my quest
still goes on to find more. During the process of writing this
book, one of the highlights would definitely be the puff pastry
recipe. When that pastry came out of the oven, with its distinct,
crispy layers, I could have done a little jig in the kitchen, right
there and then! When we find we are gluten intolerant, or
'coeliac', it can seem like a 'life sentence of no treats'. We go
into a cafe for coffee and cake and often find there is nothing we
can eat - all the 'yummy'-looking ones are full of gluten! My aim
in this book has been to reverse the 'sentence'. I have tried to
include recipes for the many things we might like to eat in the
coffee shops, as well as the regular desserts and savoury pastries
that seemed to be 'forbidden'. I hope that you enjoy cooking and
eating many of these re-found treats.
