'No banned foods, no recipes, no fads – psychologist and addiction expert Shahroo Izadi’s weight-loss book is all about changing the way you relate to what you eat.' – The Times

This is the last diet you'll ever need. Transform your relationship with food and your body for good with The Last Diet from Behavioural Change Specialist, Shahroo Izadi.

Shahroo Izadi presents the best approach to losing weight, without telling you what or how to eat. Shahroo goes deeper than traditional diet plans, using her professional experience working in addiction treatment and personal experience of struggling with her own weight and body image to help you find the best diet for your body and your life.

She shares how the same evidence-based tools she used effectively with her clients in active addiction helped her to lose eight stone in weight, increase her self-esteem and help her manage a range of unwanted habits around food and negative talk. Shahroo introduces her revolutionary kindness method and highlights the importance of positive self-perception, showing how to embrace self-kindness and self-respect.

The Last Diet helps you identify where your unhealthy habits come from, and how to accept them, change them and what to do when you slip up through self-tailored exercises to maintain your physical and mental wellbeing. Shahroo guides you through every step, helping you to draw out your own wisdom and find motivation for changing long-term habits and losing weight – for good.

'A kind, realistic book that will be a real help to people who struggle with their weight.' – Marianne Power, Sunday Telegraph

Critic reviews

No banned foods, no recipes, no fads – psychologist and addiction expert Shahroo Izadi’s weight-loss book is all about changing the way you relate to what you eat.

A kinder, more psychological approach to weight loss that draws on her experience of working in addiction treatment.

A kind, realistic book that will be a real help to people who struggle with their weight. (Marianne Power)

A practical, gentle guide which puts improved mental health at the forefront.

If you're depressed by the failure of past diets, this book could provide the approach you need to try again and to succeed without beating yourself up in the process.

Helps readers identify where their unhealthy habits come from and how to change them

The moment I met her I immediately knew she was the real deal. She just gets it. She's a sobering, safe and sassy presence in a world of extremes. (Bryony Gordon, #1 bestselling author of Mad Girl)

That's what Shahroo does. Gets me to ask fundamental questions with a kindness and compassion I normally reserve for others. (Marisa Bate)

Second review

I reviewed this book in a negative way before after a few chapters, I thought it was just another self-help book, but after going back and listening and actually trying the exercises. I can say it actually made my life better.

I actually listened to it several times.

Very Helpful

I feel like this book has really helped me change my mindset when it comes to weight loss. There are many thought provoking exercises that take time to complete but really forced me to dig deep about why previous attempts at weight loss have failed and how I can build a plan to finally reach my goals.

So life altering!!!

GREAT BOOK!!
Although the author doesn’t emphasize it….so many of our weight challenges tie DIRECTLY to our mental health. It took me 30 years to understand THIS. My emotional/overeating correlates directly to my emotional state…my stress levels…and my mental well being.
My family has a history with eating/food and our lack of managing “conflict resolution”
Once I shifted my better health (weight nutrition) away from the physical “me” to the mental “me” I have had greater success in feeling and looking the way I desire to look and feel.
Thank you Shahroo Izadi

Practical and inspiring

For people who feel that over eating food might be the symptom not the cause of unhappiness this book focuses on you not your waistline and did a wonderful job of both inspiring me to believe I can love myself and giving me the practical tools to make it happen. As a dieter of 20 + years I have believe this might finally be step one on the path to self acceptance and growth.

It Made Me Really Think

This book came as part of a personal renaissance of learning to love myself and care for myself. Part of that is being healthy and making good choices about what I eat and how I exercise.

The solution-based approach to solving a problem has worked for me in the past in other aspects of my life. This book was no different. I was ready for this book, and I followed it. The teachings and personal reflections really helped me.

I have recommended this to two friends, and both of them seem to be making changes. This book has personally helped me on a journey I had already started. It's been glorious so far.
