Ove, an IOWL listener shared his success story on my Facebook page. He wrote: 

“Hi Renee
I want to thank you for your free IOWL podCast. I have lost 16 kg over the past 3 years. My weight before was like a jojo it went up and down. The last 3 years it has gone down in stages. First 7 kg, then 3 kg and within the last 3 months 6 kg. I use your tools daily and often listen to your IOWL podCast. Especially your “Sabotage Self Sabotage!” exercise is very effective. Now I weigh 86 kg and go for 80-82 kg which is my natural weight. Thanks again for being a great contribution to humans and life. Love Ove ;o)”

 What’s your IOWL success story? I’d love to hear from you!

Here’s what Publisher’s Weekly is saying about the book:

“Stephens, a diet and weight-loss coach whose weight-loss podcast tops the category on iTunes, teams up with writer Rose to present her program in book form. Formerly a compulsive eater, Stephens offers an unusual weight-loss plan that spends “very little time talking about what you should or should not put in your mouth.” To lose weight, dieters must eat less then what they burn, but rather than a detailed food and exercise plan, Stephens opts for viewing the process as a “spiritual practice.” According to Stephens, successful weight loss is “an inside job,” and long-term maintenance plans and motivation must come first. (Most diets have it “backward,” and as a result 95% of dieters gain weight back within one year, the author claims). She guides readers to examine why they over-eat, to view their setbacks not as failures but as feedback, and to use such self-correcting tools as working out, meditating, sleeping, and hydrating to get back on board after a slipup. Stephens shows how to identify trigger foods and situations, and encourages readers to track hunger levels and identify patterns. This user-friendly six-week program approaches weight loss as a journey with side trips and ups and downs; the goal is to arrive at a slim and healthy outcome.”
