Most people don’t fail because they don’t work hard enough. They fail because no one ever taught them how to change who they are — at the identity level. In The Identity Diet, Matt Pack shares what over 25 years in the fitness industry have taught him: that permanent transformation has less to do with what you eat, and everything to do with how you think, feel, and see yourself.
This book is for anyone who’s lost weight before, only to gain it back. For anyone who’s started strong, felt motivated, and then slipped into old patterns of sabotage, shame, and confusion. Matt dives into the emotional and psychological reasons most people stay stuck — including the hidden beliefs, childhood imprints, and fear of success that quietly undermine your goals.
Through powerful insights and practical tools, The Identity Diet walks you through the exact steps to kill the old identity that keeps pulling you back, and intentionally build a new one rooted in confidence, clarity, and self-trust. From mindset rewiring and emotional regulation to behavioral strategy and long-term maintenance, this book gives you everything you need to finally feel in control of your results — and your future.
Forget short-term fixes, endless dieting, and burnout. This is not a pep talk. It’s not a macro plan. It’s the missing piece no one ever taught you. It’s the inner work that makes the outer results last.
If you’re ready to stop starting over, it’s time to upgrade your identity — and The Identity Diet is the map that shows you how.
