Do you wish you could achieve your ideal weight without obsessing over diets, unrealistic workout plans, and constant guilt?  Jealous of those “Naturally Skinny” friends that seem to be free in their eating and still maintain a great body?

Most people want to feel good in their skin, and live with peace of mind, but diets and exercise plans almost always cause us to focus even more on food and our bodies, and rarely provide the long-term results that they have promised.

Well, I’m here to tell you that your “Naturally Skinny” friends do have a secret, but it’s probably not what you think.  (In fact, they probably don’t even realize that they have a secret.)

My new book titled, The Secret of Your Naturally Skinny Friends, reveals the true secret to these freely thin people that we love to hate.  It shares a new approach to your relationship with food and your body, and teaches you how you too, can find freedom, and your best body.

Inside you will…

• Learn how to recognize your personal patterns of beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors that have literally led you to where you are today. 
• Learn how to deal with negative thoughts, and replace them with new “enabling” beliefs.  
• Develop a new vision for the person you might become, and follow clear steps to turn that vision into a reality.
• Learn tips and tricks to apply to your most challenging food and exercise struggles.  
• Apply a new way of thinking to vacations, holidays, and other celebrations.
• Get a peek at Five Days of a food journal in my own life.
  
• Get access to a 30-day “Thought Diet” with three affirmations a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner, or however you want to use them.) 
• Much, much more!

The book is now available on all formats!

Monica writes:

I understand the mental battle so many people have with food, exercise, and their body image.  Even though I have a degree in sports medicine and I have worked many years as a personal trainer and fitness instructor, I spent over fifteen years struggling to make peace with my own body.  Fed up with diets, and weary from obsessing, I set out to find a new way to live.  Not only did I find the mental freedom I longed for, but I also found myself very naturally at my ideal weight.  Nearly fourteen years later, my weight has stayed the same, and I continue to celebrate a life of health and freedom!

What readers have said about The Secret of Your Naturally Skinny Friends:

I think your book makes more sense than anything I have ever read concerning my lifelong weight control battle.  I have printed it off and re-read it over and over.  And boy am I ever looking forward to having it in book form in the near future.  The simple truth it gives is amazing.  And powerful.  I am finding my love affair with food coming to an end.  This new mindset is transforming…I’m so thrilled!  Down 17 pounds!”  — Susan, Arkansas

“I am a Beach Body coach and have struggled with weight for most of my adult life…Your book has cemented things and the 30-day guide has given me a tool to help me really make my weight loss be forever.  I can’t wait for your kindle book to come out. Once it does I would love to buy one for each of my new customers!  I thinks it’s truly a life changing book!”
— Allison, Japan

“Monica’s practical and empowering approach to health and fitness has encouraged me to see that weight loss is truly more mental than physical.  Monica’s advice encouraged me to visualize the lifestyle I would live at my ideal weight and make choices that support my desired outcome now! Why wait? Instead of a list of “can’ts” found in most diet programs, Monica’s strategies  encourage me to focus on the “cans”. Right now I can exercise without being a slave to my workouts and eat whatever I want-surprised at how easy it is to pass up foods when they are not off-limits!  Although I have a long way to go to reach my fitness goals, I am thankful to Monica for her sound and positive advice. ”  — Shannon, Illinois

“I admit it.  I have had a 40 year love affair with food.  Diets would always start on Mondays (after I had binged all weekend) and if I messed up during the week (whether it be overeating or missing a workout), I would give up and eat WHATEVER I wanted….. until Monday.  Thus the cycle would begin all over again. (Too bad if I tripped up on a Tuesday….coz Monday’s a LONG way away!)…But the good news is that with the tools Monica has outlined in this book, I am falling OUT of love with food.  Monica’s journaling of how a skinny person thinks and approaches food has been nothing short of mind-blowing.   I now know that the key is not what’s on my plate, in my fridge, on the menu, or my exercise routine, but simply the battle going on in my head!  No money is needed, no one else’s help is required – it can be done anywhere and any time as all it requires is me and my thinking.”  — Judy, Honolulu

“Since reading The Secret of Your Naturally Skinny Friends, I have begun to apply Monica’s principles to maintaining a healthy weight and becoming ‘naturally strong’ through menopause and beyond.”  –– Catherine, Newport Beach, CA.

“As both a college student facing the pressures of expectations, and as a teenage girl who has played (and lost) the game of comparison over and over, I can honestly say this book is freeing. An exposé from someone who has been there and who understands, The Secret to My Naturally Skinny Friends speaks truth about a difficult and misunderstood topic and brings life to a place of despair and inadequacy. The testimony is relate-able, the writing is refreshing, and the message is incredibly important.  I will be recommending this to my college and high school friends who are trying to find peace in their relationship with food, exercise, and their body.”  –– Natalie, College Student, Texas.

Diet plans, nutrition coaches, and personal trainers can cost people hundreds of dollars a month.   There is never an “end” to a diet, unless you plan to go on another one.  The diet industry targets people who want a quick fix, and millions of people a year are tricked into pouring their time, money, and energy into the next fad diet or exercise plan.

By following this book, you will not only save a lot of money, but you’ll also discover  the true path to a healthy mindset, and your best body!
