Women should cut out the negative “fat talk” if they want to successfully lose weight in 2013, a new report has revealed.

With millions of women now a week into their annual New Year diets, most will be focusing on their food and calorie intake and new exercise regimes, but how many of us will take into consideration the impact negative thinking and ‘fat talk’ has on our success or lack of?

Health and nutrition experts are now of the opinion that it’s not just ‘you are what you eat’ but ‘you are what you think’, when it comes to successful weight loss. That means if you constantly describe yourself as fat, heavy and overweight, have a negative self image and are not convinced your dieting will make any difference, then you are wiring your brain to keep you stuck in a weight-rut.

Anna Richarson, TV presenter and journalist, and Janet Thompson, Positive attitude expert and author of Think More Eat Less talk in the podcast below about successful weight loss diets and how to change your attitude to food.
