Publisher's Synopsis
Have you ever wondered why losing weight-and keeping it off-is so hard? Simply put, most weight loss programs are lying to you. They sell you shortcuts, gimmicks, and hype, all while ignoring the real reason you can't keep the weight off: you lack the truth. Your body isn't defective. You're not lazy. You've just been trapped in a cycle of false promises that never address the root cause. Healthy, lasting weight loss isn't fast, and it isn't easy-but it IS possible.
This book exposes the six things missing from every failed weight loss plan and lays out a path built on truth, wisdom, discipline, and God's original blueprint for health. If you're ready to stop playing their game and start transforming your life from the inside out-this is your wake-up call.
And here's the revised verbiage for my bio on the Amazon book page:
In the realm of weight loss literature, Sam Benavides stands out as an inspiring voice of truth, offering profound insights to anyone who's ever struggled with dieting. In his debut book, Six Things Absent from Unsuccessful Weight Loss Programs: Discovering God's Secrets to Healthy, Long-Term, and Sustainable Weight Loss, Sam presents a contrasting yet refreshing, faith-based approach to the world's obsession with body fat composition.
His wellness journey began in childhood, shaped by five formative years living in Colombia, South America-where the Standard American Diet was an alien idea. Raised in a strong Christian home environment that prioritized a vegetarian lifestyle, Sam developed a deep connection between his spiritual well-being and physical health.
A turning point came during the near-death experience of his younger brother, that ignited a deep spiritual awakening and signaled a transformative period in his life. Over the following decade, Sam came to see the importance of faith in the pursuit of wholistic healing.
This revelation ultimately led him to pursue other business opportunities, and in 2010, Sam left his architectural career to launch a fitness and health coaching business with his wife Ashleigh. This in turn led to him invest into a world-renowned wellness franchise known as Complete Health Improvement Program (CHIP) in Loma Linda, California.
Now, with nearly 20 years of personal exploration and professional study behind him, Sam distills his insights into a single truth: most weight loss programs fail because they ignore God's design for health. His book uncovers six critical elements missing from today's popular methods-and reveals the timeless secrets found in God's law of health.
Through this work, Sam hopes to inspire lasting transformation-not just of the body, but of the heart and mind-grounded in faith, obedience, and a return to God's original blueprint for wellness.
