When the Scale Won’t Budge
Healing Weight Loss: Rebuilding Your Metabolism with a Whole-Food, High-Carb Plant-Based Vegan Diet
A guide for people already eating well who still can’t lose weight. It starts where most books stop — with what years of dieting did to your metabolism — and walks through eating enough again, relearning hunger, and the quieter reasons the weight stays: anxiety, old beliefs, and the safety the weight was giving you.
Who it is for
You have cut calories before. Possibly for years. You know the numbers, you have the app, and somewhere along the way the same deficit that used to work stopped working.
This book argues that is not a willpower failure — it is your body doing exactly what it was built to do when food got scarce. And that the way out runs through eating more of the right food, not less of everything.
Twenty-seven chapters plus a bonus chapter, in six parts. Read it in the companion app on any device, with your place kept as you go.
