Most of the weight loss advice that you get is usually focused around what to eat, what not to eat and how much exercise you should get, but while those are important aspects (exercise may not be as important for weight loss as we’ve been told…but that’s a post for another day), there is one piece of the puzzle that’s usually always missing – the mindset piece.
