What do LeBron James, Cindy Crawford, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Lindsey Vonn have in common? They work with trusted nutrition consultant and bestselling author Adam Bornstein. For long-term weight loss, Bornstein’s innovative approach will change how you see food and reduce the stress, complication, and cost of dieting. You will learn how any food—including take-out—can be part of a healthy diet.

There’s a simple reason diets fail: they’re too restrictive and stressful. The complicated, expensive, and frustrating nature of diets make it too easy to fall off plan and get trapped inside a relentless cycle of shame, guilt, and overeating. Instead of trying to figure out the perfect diet, research suggests the real secret is having a plan that is hard to screw up. If you’ve struggled with healthy eating or losing weight, the problem isn’t whether you go vegan or cut carbs, or the number of meals in the day. It’s how you’ve been taught to approach food. It’s time to abandon the “system” that makes you stress every gram of sugar you eat, wonder if you need to fast every day, and creates anxiety about every meal you prepare. While most diets focus on a strict set of rules with little or no margin for error, a more effective approach is creating a plan that expects you to eat take-out, enjoy alcohol, and have stressful days. Diets don’t work because they aren’t designed for real life. It’s a game you can’t win. In You Can’t Screw This Up, bestselling author Adam Bornstein explores the shocking truth of what happens when people stop trying to enforce restrictive rules and start building habits around many of the foods you’re typically told to avoid. Bornstein is a nutrition consultant for celebrities including LeBron James, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Cindy Crawford, and Lindsey Vonn, and is known for taking a refreshing approach to food that creates more freedom and better results. Bornstein uses proven life-changing methods, including strategies from bestselling authors Brene Brown, James Clear, Mark Manson, and Ryan Holiday – to paint a clear picture of why stepping away from dieting methods is how you end the vicious cycle of weight gain.Bornstein provides tools and strategies that emphasize a practical “less is more” mentality, as well as the science behind them, so readers can easily incorporate into their lives as a framework for stressing less, not overthinking nutrition and exercise, and enjoying food guilt-free.
