LIGHT: The New Psychology of Weight Loss

By: Lizzie Merritt

Narrated by: Lizzie Merritt

If Mindset and Atomic Habits joined forces to help you lose weight, it would be this audiobook.

By the end of this audiobook, you'll be ready to stop living your life in order to lose weight and start living the life you want to lose weight for. This isn’t another boring diet audiobook. It’s a mindset revolution.

It's a smarter way to approach sustainable weight loss, especially if diets have never worked for you.

If you've ever felt like a failure because you “just couldn’t stick with it,” you’re not alone. And you're not the problem.

The real problem is that diets taught you to chase perfection, ignore your body, and rely on shame as motivation. That approach works temporarily, then leads straight back to overeating, burnout, and weight regain.

In LIGHT: The New Psychology of Weight Loss, Lizzie Merritt helps you hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete on old diet rules and rebuild a healthier, more realistic way to lose weight and keep it off.

LIGHT is a refreshingly entertaining guide to reshaping your relationship with food, weight, and yourself. It skips calorie charts and food rules and tackles real struggles like stress, self-sabotage, and the internal pressure to be perfect.

It’s funny, compassionate, and easy to listen to (yes, even the brain science parts). And it gives you permission to get curious instead of critical, offering real tools to help you trust yourself again.

Whether you’ve tried every plan under the sun or you’re just tired of thinking about food 93.7% of the time, LIGHT offers a totally new perspective and a way to lose weight and keep it off without putting your life on hold.

So true …so relatable

This book helps you understand why you do or don’t do things you know impact your weightloss BUT it is NOT a diet! Felt like Lizzie was in my head listening my thoughts! Helped me understand myself so I can make better choices out of self-love not because I “hate” my body.
