Der Abnehmkompass - Diäthürden überwinden und dauerhaft abnehmen

I’ll admit: I approached *Der Abnehmkompass* skeptically. After years of hearing ‘just eat less, move more,’ I expected another repackaged lecture on calorie math. But Axt-Gadermann’s focus on *why* we overeat—not just *how*—felt revolutionary. Her breakdown of the ‘restraint theory’ (how strict diets backfire by amplifying cravings) had me nodding along, especially when she tied it to cortisol spikes from chronic stress. The narration by Ulrike Kapfer elevates the material—her tone is reassuring without being saccharine, and she handles technical terms (like leptin resistance) with clarity, never sounding like she’s reading from a textbook. That said, the audiobook isn’t perfect. The middle section on meal timing drags slightly, repeating points about circadian rhythms that could’ve been tighter. And while the exercises (like the ‘hunger vs. habit’ journaling prompts) are gold, they’re harder to pause and implement in audio format—you’ll want the print version for those. Still, the final chapters on maintaining weight loss (emphasizing flexibility over perfection) are worth the price alone. If you’ve ever felt like a failure for regaining weight, this book reframes the struggle as a *learning process*—and that’s a game-changer. **Best for:** Listeners who want a psychologist’s toolkit, not a drill sergeant’s orders.
