ITS ABOUT THE MEALS , MINDSET AND MOVES Now, although I talk predominatel y in this book about what and when to eat, for any health transformation to be successful we need to adopt a holistic appr oach to nding synergy between our Meals, Mindset and Move s.

It also means that it is all well and g ood follow ing this kickstart pro gram as written, but to implement it successfully yo u need to align it with positive mindset techniques that will support yo u mentally on the journey .

Lastly , it means that we can eat all the health y f ood in the wo rld and work on cultivating a positive mindset, but unless we use the gift of our body w e simply won t r each our full potential.
