Discover your unique female archetype to combat emotional eating, lose weight, and become your happiest, healthiest you.
In working with thousands of women who wanted to lose weight and change the shape of their bodies, leading nutritionist and functional medicine practitioner Dana James observed a striking trend: no matter how diligent they were in sticking to their diet and exercise plans, old behavioral patterns and self-doubt sabotaged their efforts. In The Archetype Diet, James helps readers escape the seemingly endless psychological tug-of-war that is hampering their ability to care for themselves and explains which hormones cause you to store body fat on your belly, thighs and hips, and what to eat to change it. A revolutionary, holistic approach to weight loss, this book guides in readers in discovering which of four archetypes they embody:
· The Nurturer is always there to care for others. She is kind and compassionate, but this can come at the expense of her own self-care.
· The Wonder Woman bases her self-worth on her accomplishments. She is ambitious and driven, but her work often takes precendent over her diet.
· The Femme Fatale is sensual, strong, and alluring but can become obsessed with her looks to the point that she develops an unhealthy relationship with food.
· The Ethereal is spiritual and intuitive, but highly sensitive to her environment so she tends to eat to numb her reactions to the world.
By becoming attuned to your archetype, James shows how you can alter your diet to help feed your unique body chemistry while simultaneously examining how your sense of self-worth shapes your behaviors-including what you eat-in ways that may be working against your goals. Offering recipes, a ten-day meal plan, and a step-by-step psychological intervention, The Archetype Diet will put you on the path to becoming leaner, stronger, and more attuned to your feminine fire and energy.

"Dana James is one of the foremost experts in functional nutrition.
I have personally witnessed how she has been able to help transform
women's perspectives on food, their bodies and themselves, helping
them experience a lasting shift in their weight energy and mood.
This is a book every woman should read."
- Robin Berzin MD, founder and CEO of Parsley Health
"Imagine expressing all of your feminine energy in a balanced way -
the compassionate, the sensual, the creative, and the intellectual
- all parts of you would be expressed and you would feel
whole. If, however, you overly rely on one of them to feel
worthy, you quickly get out of balance emotionally, become
stressed and lose the ability to prioritize yourself and self
care. Dana James wants to help you break this cycle that
leaves you stuck in a lifestyle and a body that leaves you drained
and frustrated.
Her book will help you understand the
connection between your personality type, entrenched
behavioral patterns, emotional triggers and weight struggles
so you can give yourself the support you truly need to make lasting
change for sustained weight loss from the most self aware and
kind place."

behaviors.“

Beat Depression.
“There's no one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition so it's great
to finally see a book that explains why different body types need
different diets.”
