A sustainable lifestyle diet for women of faith that unravels the mystery of why we gain weight as we age and includes a practical, God-centered, science-based plan to change your habits from the inside out—from two veteran health and lifestyle coaches Eat, Live, Thrive Diet shows women how they can not only lose excess body fat permanently—before, during, and after menopause—but also improve their overall health in critical areas such as brain function, resistance to disease, slowing down external aging, and increasing energy. This highly effective plan that addresses body, soul, and spirit is presented in a compassionate voice by two experienced health coaches who share personal experiences of battling weight and emotional eating issues and how they came to celebrate lasting victory. Whereas most diets are short-lived or require substantial upkeep to maintain, Eat, Live, Thrive Diet is a cyclic and easy to follow eating plan that women can embrace indefinitely. The first phase of the plan helps women discover their carbohydrate thresholds and the specific foods holding them back from weight loss. The lifestyle phase of the plan is easily customizable to promote ongoing weight loss or maintenance. The diet is not Paleo, Keto, or low carbohydrate but rather “carbohydrate controlled” based on each woman’s personal response. The authors also emphasize the importance of getting to the root cause of unhealthy eating habits and the value of short-term intermittent fasting--a simple lifestyle change that makes it easier and more effective for many mature women to reach their health and weight loss goals. They also offer virtual coaching support through their Eat Live Thrive Academy.

A psychotherapist of 30 years, Nancy Ellis-Ordway explains how she helps people get off the weight loss roller coaster, make peace with food and their bodies, and improve their health to find happiness and a better quality of life. Widespread publicity about "the war on obesity" has led to pervasive anxiety, distress, and shame about eating, says psychotherapist Nancy Ellis-Ordway. Many people feel at war with their bodies rather than at home, in large part because of weight stigma and the unrelenting pursuit of thinness in America. This book offers a detailed approach for change, with a particular focus on "the message we give ourselves" when we eat, exercise, and interact with other people. This process incorporates operating from an internal locus of control as a way to improve self-esteem. Elllis-Ordway, in contrast to the "diet mentality" that is full of restrictions, first has clients focus on building self-esteem and growing a desire for self-care. She teaches clients to develop an ability to "listen to their own bodies" for guidance to eat for physical and mental health. The better we listen to and fulfill our body's needs, she explains, the better our self-esteem and health becomes, and the more we believe we are "worth it" and are able to meet our objectives.
