Book Nook - Of Bears and Weight Loss: How to Manage Triggers, Lose Weight, and Enjoy Getting Fit

Dr. Brian King is a trained psychologist and neuroscientist, as well as comedian and other. I recently had a chance to review Of Bears and Weight Loss: How to Manage Triggers, Lose Weight, and Enjoy Getting Fit.

Dr. Brian speaks from his own experience as being overweight, and despite his speaking and touring, he avoided what he needed to do to get healthy. He used his training and understanding of human behavior and the mind to reframe his approach and lose weight.

It was an interesting book! His humor is somewhat self-deprecating, and occasionally a little TMI, but that adds to the realness of the book and the stories he shares. The book has an appropriate level of humor and practical advice, along with some of the scientific background, all woven together in an easy-to-read, conversational style.

Tips involve:

• Developing the right mindset 
• Understanding factors such as poor sleep that could sabotage goals How to know what diet and exercise program is right for you The motivation to change and to sustain a healthy lifestyle 
• How to embrace sustainable change without going hungry or spending all night in the gym 
• A wealth of humor, encouragement, and scientifically-sound, evidence-based know-how 

I enjoyed this book so much, I ended up checking out his stress management guide, The Art of Taking It Easy!
