1. Obesity is a genetically predetermined condition. But – twins with exactly the same genes may or may not manifest their predisposition to obesity.
  2. Epigenetic is a science about how the environment affects the manifestation of our genes. We use only a small percentage of our genes, some people believe it might be as little as 7-8%. For every genetically predetermined condition, including obesity , we have a variety of inherited genes which are selectively activated depending on our surroundings. Our life situation literally dictates the kind of body that we get.
  3. Reality and perception… And here is the reality – it is not the reality around us that shapes our bodies, but our perception of the reality that matters. We can not always have a full control, or, in many cases any  control at all, but we can always, at least theoretically speaking, influence and change our perception. And this is what this book is all about.
  4. To get and sustain the body you deserve takes a lot – a proper nutrition, exercise/activity, but the most importantly – you need to have a proper mindset. This proper mindset should do what we just discussed – to build a new body from the bottom up, by activating the proper genes… I call this special mind – The Slim Mentality.

To summarize – my goal is simple – to discover a proper mindset, that I call The Slim Mentality, and, more importantly, teach others to develop  sustain such mindset, which would facilitate the proper perception of the reality with an ultimate goal of activation of the beneficial genes at the expense of the disadvantageous genes.
