Many diets say your body shape is determined by about 75 percent diet, 25 percent exercise. It’s time to turn your mind back on. The people I’ve seen have the most success are the ones who are aware of how their thoughts, moods, and feelings are connected to how they eat. We’ve been conditioned to think of food as the primary factor in our weight and health, but The Beauty Detox Power shows you how aligning your thoughts, words, actions—such as what you eat—and core beliefs is the key to success in looking and feeling the way you want.
