This book has a chapter that will make you aware of what self-confidence really means and how you can make the most of it at every stage of your life.
There are some do's and don'ts that you can follow to achieve this.
Like for example, "Do follow the rule of Something is better than Nothing. It increases your DOINGNESS in baby steps." And "Gain knowledge about doing the tasks to increase the chances to succeed at them. Ask people to share their experiences."
Don’t create unhealthy demands on yourself. I MUST ALWAYS LOOK PERFECT. When you create such a demand, and during days when you aren’t looking your best, what happens? It shakes your confidence and then you go into the negative thought-emotion loop." "Don’t listen to other people’s beliefs & opinions."
I have followed these 4 for several days and I can confirm that you will gain more confidence from me in all stages of your life.
I must say that this book can help you lose weight and help you in many other aspects of your life.

First of all, I believe in being me irrespective of what others say about my weight, colour, sexuality, etc.
When I saw this book, I thought it would be another diet-controlling book and I was wrong. This book is not about a diet plan to reduce weight. This book is not at all about doing strenuous exercises to maintain fitness. Then what is this book about?
This book is about EFT and the small changes we can bring to our lives so that we can be what we wish to be. No one is forcing anyone. It's up to every single individual to decide what they want to be. I wouldn't judge you based on your weight or anything else. And if anyone is doing so, something's wrong with them.
This book is an easy read. The book starts by explaining what EFT is and we are introduced to the basic principles of EFT. The first chapter is all about what, who, and when.
What I liked about the book is the author shares his real-life journey of weight loss. Then he goes on to share what the people who followed EFT have to say. By doing this, the author is letting us decide whether we want to continue with this weight loss journey.
I haven't seen a single line in this book that forces you into losing weight. It's up to the reader.
Another thing I liked about the book is it tells us how to manage our anger and frustration. I like the genuineness of the author in explaining everything. He has done a great job by giving examples from his own life.
This book is definitely worth reading!

Book review 📚🔖
⭐My Rating - 4/5⭐
Lighten Up! Lose The Weight of Losing Weight is a non fiction self help book which focuses on accepting us for who we really are.
The book consists of 4 parts and 15 chapters. All the 4 parts deals with different aspects of our own thoughts and emotions.
This book focuses mainly on EFT, which you must definitely understand only after reading. Author himself being a coach, shares his own weight loss journey and also his client diaries as well.
The first part deals with emotional freedom.
The second part deals with managing frustration and anger, healing and accepting our own body. The third part deals with self confidence and other people's judgement on us while the the final part is about forgiveness and gratitude.
The way author talks about things, actually sounds motivating in a way that we realise how important it is to take care if ourselves in a proper manner rather than sit and worry about things that others say.
The narration was very simple and even a beginner can understand it. The main drawback in the book was that it focuses more on the change to be brought but didn't focus on the journey of those changes. I wish those were added in this book. Moreover I tried some of the mentioned techniques and I don't know if that worked in my body or not, but it felt positive when I tried those techniques.
The book cover is soooo pretty and elegant. I loved it and immediately wanted to read it. The title is an absolute suit for the book and the concepts in it. The language is simple and lucid. It shows a different approach on our thoughts and problems.

"Whether you are fat or thin, rich or poor, smart or dumb other people will judge you. There is no place to hide from other people’s judgements. What other people think about you, you have no control and no idea." - Somehow we all know this but still it makes us stressed and uncomfortable. It makes me uncomfortable too. But these days I am trying the tapping or EFT method. I'm also trying to lose some weight this new year. And after practicing tapping for 2-3 days, I gained the confidence to lose weight just for myself, to be more healthy, not for the judgment of others. And I'm really finding peace in these small progresses.
Everytime I said those lines like "I am not comfortable carrying my body the way it is. Even though I am uncomfortable being judged by others.I choose to be at peace with their judgments and focus on something worthy. I choose to think about my goals and aspirations I choose to let go of those thoughts as they are not in my control." - Honestly, These lines are giving me the peace I have been searching for all my life.
I will try again and again and only for myself.

Review:
From the title it's very much clear the book is on the topic of losing weight, but not in a conventional way, but by using the EFT method.
Basically when we makes our mind to start working on losing our weight, we sometimes weaver from this cause of our negative thoughts and emotions. And in the book, the author share with us the most effective way by which we can overcome this negativity. And the not so well known method is EFT.
The author in the book thoroughly discusses what the method is, how to do it, step by step, how much and when. And also by which it can be more effective to us. And as the book written in very simple and lucid language, it's very easy to understand and follow.
Personally I am really happy to find this book, as in the past I have tried a many times to work on losing my weight but never complete it. But after reading this book, I'm motivated to start again and use the method. And I would definitely recommend the book.

Do you know what black and white thinking is and how it can delay your victory?
I didn't know it but this thought always crossed my mind and delay my achievement.
some of the most appropriate examples for me is "As I controlled eating cake for 30 days, today I am going to eat everything" and "Since I am late to go the gym and I cannot work out the full 60 minutes, I will skip going today."
Before reading this book I was completely in the dark about how much these thoughts were stabbing me in the back. After reading chapter 8 of this book I wrote down all my b&w thoughts about weight loss and other aspects of my life. And I see clearly how much I can achieve by beating these thoughts.
So these days every time I have a thought like this I utter the line "something is better than nothing" and it gives me the strength to carry on.
Thanks to the author for opening my eyes and giving me the confidence that one day I will definitely achieve my goals with these small steps.

My problem with weight loss is sweet cravings, and chapter 7 of this book helped me a lot to reduce it. I don't keep sweets in my house, but the moment I step out of my house, it seems like all the sweet shops come to me. At first I thought I couldn't control it, it was completely out of my hands, but then I tried tapping this week and it worked.
I have noticed that when I am happiest or saddest I need sweets. Now I can change the state of happiness with something healthy but I cannot change the mood of sadness. But after 2-3 rounds of practice I felt really relaxed, I no longer cursed myself for being like this.
Now whenever I have a sweet cravings, I take a deep breath and recite a few lines from the book like "Even though I eat to avoid being stressed, I deeply and completely love and accept myself."
and "Even though I feel guilty about my food habits, I accept myself entirely." and I can feel my cravings subside a lot.
Another good news is that I didn't eat a single sweet all day yesterday, not by beating myself up but by my own choice.

Weight gain and disappointment are very important issues for me. It's not that I don't accept myself, but even the slightest change in routine increases my anxiety, guilt, and depression. What I like most about this book is that the author doesn't talk about consistency, I mean consistency is necessary to achieve something but it's okay not to exercise one day because life can be hard at times. And the author feels the same, so it was really relatable for me.
I tried tapping after a hard day when I didn't have the energy to exercise and felt guilty about it. It was hard at first because even starting something new requires some energy, but I tried and after uttering those few sentences, I felt much more calm and peaceful. I could feel the changes in my emotions, it was no longer guilt or frustration but acceptance.
I hope you are not going through the same problem as me but if you are then please read this book and try this trick, surely it will help you.

I hope you are not going through the same problem as me but if you are then please read this book and try this trick, surely it will help you.

One of my main problems with every process, including weight loss, is impatience. I want everything to happen overnight. I try to convince myself that this is not possible, consistency is necessary but still this nature of mine makes me feel stressed. I really like that author sheds light on this issue. "If we are continuously asking questions that start with the word “WHEN” in our mind, then we create an emotion of anxiety, fear, worry, and feeling restless." - It was really really relatable.
So I sit down and try to recite a few lines from this book like "Even though I get anxious when I do not progress with my weight goal, I accept and love myself." I felt much more relaxed and composed. Now I know that when I try to lose weight again in the coming year I will not be impatient because this strategy and this book will always be by my side.
In short it was really relatable and helpful.

Most of my life I have heard different things because of my weight. It was frustrating at times. Even sometimes I hated myself for it.
Few days ago I came to know about this book from the internet and tried to read it. When I read chapter 6 I was really surprised. The author was not telling me things like it's okay, you are beautiful (as I always heard from people who tried to comfort me) but he was asking me to see myself through my own eyes. Because what I think about myself is what matters most. I never tried to think like this before because I was always used to seeing myself through other people's eyes.
I've tried EFT and these days I feel much more emotions, like the joy of wearing a new dress or eating my favorite dessert. My heart is no longer empty. I Have a confidence that one day I will achieve my weight loss goal, just for me. And I won't hurt myself if I fail, I'll try again.

4⭐
This book contains a really effective method known as Tapping or EFT. It can help you in every aspect of your life. I never knew about EFT but after reading the 1st chapter I thought to give it a try. then I wrote down all my problems including weight gain and then I started tapping. There are two methods for this, I used the 2nd method. At first it was a bit difficult to concentrate because all my thoughts were getting mixed up but gradually it got easier and I did it about 4 times. After finishing my mind feels more relaxed and composed. It's not that I no longer had problems but I was no longer tired of my problems, I gained a confidence that I could solve them and achieve my goals.
Now I am doing this regularly for the last 5 days and I can say that it is helpful, it will make your life easier.

I've tried meditation before but I wasn't sure about EFT(Emotional Freedom Technique)because it's completely new to me. But after reading the second chapter all my doubts were cleared and I thought to try it at least once so I did and it was really refreshing. It was not a common technique of meditation but I can say it is really effective. I really appreciate the way author thought about our perspective and wrote a whole chapter so that we can accept this process and try to practice it.
We all are always stressed for one reason or the other, so I think everyone should practice this method. It works for all your problems like not accepting past failures, unhealthy routines, overeating, anxiety due to weight gain etc.

I gained a lot of weight during the lockdown. I was never that bulky in my life so losing weight through dieting and exercise seemed really impossible for me. This year I tried but gave up after few days.
Some days ago one of my well-wishers gifted me this book and I tried tapping. It wasn't easy because I wasn't sure if it would work. Still I tried and after 3-4 days of practice I regained my desire to lose weight and live a healthy life.
It's still not easy to maintain a strict diet but these days every time I miss my workout I remember the author's words that it's okay to miss a day because life can be hard. And it really makes me feel good, that I'm not alone, we're all trying together.
Sharing this review in hope that this book and this strategy will be helpful for you too.

I wanted to read this book because I have very bad eating and sleeping habits. I never sleep and eat on time and eat junk food most of the time which leads to very bad lifestyle, unwanted anxiety and ultimately weight gain. So before the new year I tried to change my habits and tried tapping for 1 week.
Every morning when I said something like "even though I'm not at my best, I accept myself, I love myself and I'll try to be the best version of myself every day". I don't know why but it felt like all the negativity and toxicity left my head and heart.
I am trying to sleep on time every night and I will try again and again. Thank you for this beautiful trick to boost my confidence again that I can if I want.

Lighten Up is a book written by Kunal Dudeja. Someone recently gifted me this book and I have to say it was a life changing gift.
During the lockdown I tried to lose weight and was somehow successful but I wasn't happy with it, as it made me worry more about my weight. Since then I am always afraid of what will happen if I gain weight again and this leads to fear of food. I started to fear eating everything.
When I started reading this book, it seemed really relatable and then I tried this method wholeheartedly and after 1 week of practice I could feel that the trauma of eating is slowly diminishing.
It's not like I can eat whatever I want now but the fear of eating is gone. Now I can enjoy my daily meals. Thank you so much sir for this book.

This book is actually a must read for your self improvement.
Lighten up by Kunal dudeja is a book talking about how boys and girls , mostly teenagers , face humiliation for being fat , overweight, skinny.
There are various techniques mentioned in the book on how to face all these things and how to focus on yourself and be proud of yourself.
My favourite in the book was chapter 3 and chapter 4 about how to control your emotions and how to reduce guilt and shame about your body ! Because these 2 things influence the people most.
Overall, a definitely read to all people, once to how you improve yourself and help others too.

My mom has recently gained a lot of weight due to some health issues and it is bad for health so doctor said to lose some weight. She tried but eventually became frustrated because of her age. So I gift her this book to read.
After that every morning we could hear her practicing tapping. And yesterday she told me that she signed up for a yoga session and will welcome this new year with a great mindset and motivation. And we're noticing that she has become our old mother again, always smiling cheerfully.
I really want to thank the author for writing such a great book that can definitely change people's lives, at least it did for us.

I want to talk about the last chapter of this book which tells us why it is so important to do pleasurable activities that bring us joy.
After reading the last chapter, I really made a routine to do all my favorite things at least once a week or month. And of course made it a routine to do tapping every day.
Tapping is a method explained in this book that can heal your mind and body. It can help you with weight loss and many other aspects of life. I tried this method and it eased my anxiety about losing weight.
I hope you are not dealing with this anxiety but if you are then please read this book, it will surely help you.

I wanted to read this book for a long time because it talks about so many aspects of life. It's not just about losing weight but it will make you more confident and self-loving.
I followed chapter 13 and tried tapping, it's not that I didn't love myself before but it's true that sometimes I was hard on myself. But finally tapping helped me a lot. Now, whenever I want to curse myself for a mistake, I utter this line I utter this line "Even though I am not living my full potential, I accept it and I accept and love myself unconditionally." And I feel more calm and composed.
Please read it, it will definitely help you become a less anxious person.
