Review: If I’m So Smart, Why Can’t I Lose Weight? – Tools to Get it Done

According to Brooke Castillo, author of this book, intelligent and accomplished men and women often have intense difficulty losing weight and getting healthy. One of the main reasons that it is believed that this happens is because these people have not spent enough time developing their level of emotional intelligence. Overeating has a lot to do with emotion, and ending overeating is directly related to understanding what is happening emotionally and taking steps to manage our emotions in more productive ways in order to counteract the things that lead to overeating.

"If I'm So Smart, Why Can't I Lose Weight?" is all about developing body connection as well as self awareness even in demanding careers and higher level education, because there is often not enough time being spent on these vital processes. Busy, stressed out and successful professionals often have difficulty taking the necessary steps to promote healthy weight loss because of the stress and emotions associated with these lines of work. "If I'm So Smart, Why Can't I Lose Weight?" is all about providing the necessary tools to finally make an emotional connection with our bodies, eliminating the risk of overeating and other issues relating to having difficulty losing weight.

Review -

Applying the tools that are displayed in Brooke Castillo's "If I'm So Smart, Why Can't I Lose Weight?" into your every day life will allow you to lose weight in ways that you were never able to lose weight before. Upon applying these tools, many people have lost 25 to 35 pounds in only a few weeks. The tools displayed in this book have allowed people to find joy in their daily exercise regimens. They have taught people to avoid the struggles associated with food and over eating. They have created completely new outlooks on life for many intelligent people who just needed a new way of looking at weight loss and diet in order to be successful.

Brooke Castillo's "If I'm So Smart, Why Can't I Lose Weight?" book is both inspiring and innovative, as it has been written by someone who has been studying every aspect of healthy weight loss for more than fifteen years. After studying psychology in Santa Clara University, and losing seventy five pounds of her own, Brooke Castillo has developed her own unique take for losing weight in a way that is healthy and intelligent without sacrificing practicality or ease. Many intelligent, hardworking people struggle with healthy weight loss, because intelligence isn't what matters when it comes to weight loss, diet and exercise. What does matter is having the right tools and resources for healthy and practical weight loss, which is what this book can provide.

It’s funny how people think they’ll lose weight because they’re so smart. Sometimes it’s not all about that!
