It's expensive $2800 for 4 months, but I find that it's changing my approach to eating, and it's not a diet where you eliminate things. Instead if focuses on making different choices within a calorie elimination framework. I found them on Instagram (I know) and followed them for a while before I joined. I'm a month in and I'm finding that I'm not binging, but I'm also able to have a glass of wine, or plan for pizza night. I feel like I can stick to it because it doesn't feel like I have to quit everything all at once. Also, the dude who started it is from the UK I think and I dig all the accents. If anything you an follow them on social and see if it's interesting.

I have tried lots of programs in the past that have worked for me for years on and off (Jenny craig, Ideal Protein, WW, nutritionist), but I am on medication now for immune issue makes me so tired, which makes me lazier with eating habits. The weight has been creeping up again for a few years. Even with a lot of exercise I can't get it off.
I'm trying intermittent fasting now but nothing extreme - just eating during the same 8-10 hours (like 8 or 10am-6pm) and not after 6pm if I can help it because most of my binging/grazing tends to be later in the evening. It seems like I have given myself permission to eat "normally" during the 8 hours and I think I am losing weight.

(I swear I'm the author)
But the book does a great job of explaining how concepts like "will-power" doesnt actually exist. And its about cues and environment.
If you want to install a new habit, its not about wanting to do it, its about creating the environment conducive to doing it.
and its the flip for breaking a habit. If you want to stop doing something, you have to identify the cues or the environment that initiates it and changes those things.
I'm oversimplifying a 300 page book, but honestly, the book is amazing.
I use the concept of habit-stacking to help introduce so many helpful things in my life

Cheezits are my weakness too! I think they put a lil bit of cocaine in them.
