"I love food; I eat carbs; I don't fear fat; I drink wine; I don't count calories; I don't count steps; and I don't belong to a gym." A unique description of a weight loss guide that encourages you to eat, drink and be merry…

That's exactly what "Eat the Cupcake" is intended to be - an unconventional, but common sense, approach to a common societal problem.

If you're frustrated with food phobias, conflicting/confusing advice, fad diets, deprivation, and gimmicks, trust your intuition and give the "keep it simple, sweetheart"("KISS") philosophy a try.

In her empathetic and relatable voice, Elan offers simple and empowering natural recommendations to achieve "smart weight loss" and look great, feel great, and be great. "Eat the Cupcake" is not only a decisively different "weight loss" book but the last weight loss guide you will ever need. This series isn't just another weight loss book, but a healthy lifestyle guide.

Elan's strategy for sustainable weight loss is based on empowerment and a realistic lifestyle, not stress, fear of food, or deprivation. Instead of obsessing about calorie counting, fearing carbohydrates/fats, or thinking we have to exercise intensely or endlessly, Elan opts for an "Anti-Deprivation Diet" focusing on the nutrients we need to attain a healthy weight - and life - and a consistent but moderate exercise routine. Elan shares evidence-based tips to jump-start weight loss, boost metabolism and ignite fat burning.

This extensively-researched series provides 25 simple, proven strategies in each book to help sustainably lose weight, beyond the simplistic mantra to "eat less and move more." Elan gets to the heart of impediments to weight loss, beyond diet and exercise. She compassionately addresses the psychological reasons why we may struggle to lose weight and highlights overlooked factors contributing to weight gain, including stress, sleep deprivation, and digestive issues.

With a master's degree in natural health, ISSA certifications in nutrition and fitness, and her unique perspective from living in the Mediterranean for almost two decades, Elan shares practical weight loss insights and strategies to not only achieve a healthy weight but to also enhance overall mental and physical well-being. Weight challenges have a multi-factorial origin requiring a multi-factorial, yet simple, solution. To Elan, "diet" is a noun, not a verb. Elan's mission is to help others get off the diet merry-go-round by following the easily replicable, enjoyable lifestyle that has helped her achieve her optimal health while being at her fittest at 57.

"Eat the Cupcake" is the second book in Elan's "KISS" series, a collection of self-care made simple guides, utilizing Elan's trademark "keep it simple, sweetheart" philosophy. The "KISS" collection is designed to inspire and empower you to optimize your life, via simple, natural, proven lifestyle interventions. "Eat the Cupcake" encourages us to embrace ourselves, our food, and our lives.

Self-care made simple. Keep it simple, sweetheart…
