This review is from: The Food Is a Lie: The Truth Is Within, A Spiritual Solution to Weight Loss and Balanced Health (Paperback)

The most honest and loving "self help" book I have read. (And I have read MANY.) This book leads the reader on a journey of self exploration while modeling self acceptance and compassion. It speaks to the heart and heals the soul. The principles in this book apply to every aspect of life, and are truly life changing.

This review is from: The Food Is a Lie: The Truth Is Within, A Spiritual Solution to Weight Loss and Balanced Health (Paperback)

I am so grateful to Bronwyn for sharing this message with the world.

In 2007, I retired from my job as a prison psychologist and began seeking people who taught weight loss from a natural, spiritual approach, instead of focusing on carbs and calories. I wanted to find the people who had lost weight themselves this way and were now teaching others. My purpose was to interview them for a documentary film that would inspire people who had given up, who had tired of endless dieting, and who yearned - knowingly or not - for the spiritual nourishment that can only come from inside - not from stuffing yourself from the outside.

Bronwyn was the first such teacher I found. She is featured in my film, The Inner Weigh and even became an Associate Producer! I realize that might make my review seem biased, but you have to know - it was her book that led me to her in the first place and that helped set the feeling tone for my film in many ways.

I once weighed 300 lbs, but I have permanently released over 55 lbs. so far thanks, in large part, to "The Food Is A Lie; The Truth Is Within."

I urge you to buy and read this book. It will change your life. It certainly changed mine.

In gratitude,
Dr. Dave Smiley
