This book will give you the relationship with food you always dreamed of plus more....... Learn: · To use the GmB mental Pause Button to freeze time and save you from yourself · About the dieting 'conspiracy' · How to have the level of motivation and control around food you've dreamed of · To harness the power of the subconscious mind "As a lifetime yo-yo dieter I was sceptical about GmB but came away very impressed. I no longer eat when I'm not hungry and have a much healthier relationship with food. " Claudia Connell - Daily Mail "When someone suggested being hypnotised instead of having a gastric band fitted, I thought they were mad. But what I expected to be a gimmick turned out to be a seriously thought through course of treatment for overweight people like me who need their approach to food and eating totally reprogrammed. Martin and Marion found a real gap in the market and developed a tried and tested product for it."

Product Description
About the Author
Martin Shirran and his wife Marion, trained clinical hypnotherapists, pull no punches. Their belief in their Gastric mind Band therapy is absolute and absolutely passionate, and this extends to their belief in their first book. Martin, an ex marketing and PR man, is a gregarious, persuasive individual whose written style reflects this. His natural ability to 'sell' his beliefs about obesity and the GmB therapy shines through in person and on the page. Marion, a former teacher, has done much of the backroom development and fine-tuning of the various techniques involved, and her thoughts on the subject are equally clear and articulate. They both prefer to talk straight to the reader just as if you were in the therapy suite with them. It's a bit like tough love. Tough love that they've put to the test first hand . . . . when they started developing the therapy Martin was a hefty 264 lb and Marion a seemingly effortlessly slim 124lb. They worked sometimes 24/7 much of the time for two years testing, tweaking and developing their therapy . . . . Martin now weighs in 57lb lighter and Marion's understanding of her relationship with food has played a key part in how they approach 'The Hunger Question' She, naturally, has remained within a few pounds, the same weight throughout. Now Martin understands why! Fiona Graham is a former London journalist working as a freelance writer from her home in Spain.

I had been struggling to lose weight for years when I bought this book and it has certainly given me loads to think about regarding the way I eat. I'm not sure how close it runs to the actual therapy if you do it on a one to one basis, but having been an over-eater for many years, I thought anything that could help me re-educate my eating habits and shift some weight would be a good thing. It certainly made me think about how and why I managed to put on weight. Martin and Marion Shirran are firm but fair in the way they put across their advice on living with food, how its OK for you to be hungry, and not kid yourself about how much you actually eat. They use down to earth language to get across their Solution - Shirrans' Solution: The Gastric Mind Band (R), and Martin, having once been overweight himself, is very in tune with those people still trying to lose weight and uses tough love to encourage you to have a normal relationship with something we all have to face every day of our lives. Obviously, this is not a magic wand, and the individual has to work to gain what they want to achieve in the way of weight loss, but this is book is certainly a great support to help you examine the why, when and how of eating.

Like many people I have had issues with my weight forever. I've tried the mainstream weight-loss programmes many a time over the years with no results. Last year my weight ballooned to its highest and it was very worrying - the health risks were at the back of my mind as well as my confidence levels being low. I went to Spain in the summer to have the treatment and what a difference! I've lost 2 stone so far! Yes it is a long way to go so this book is perfect! The suggestions are brilliant and everything makes so much sense - thinking about what I'm eating as I'm eating, slowing down and not finishing everything on my plate is second nature now. Martin has gone through the process himself and his and others' anecdotes really do spur you on!
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who needs to lose weight this year - I certainly will be carrying on with the solution and will have this book to refer to and re-read as I get rid of my excess weight!

to call this book the 'new' bible is probably an over statement. but along side a copy of the 'good book' this book will stay on my bedside table forever! if you have ever dieted in your life & if you are at this moment overweight then this should be your bedtime reading. i am currently (& sucessfully) following a very well known weight loss programme. but i do wonder how i will be once i reach my 'goal weight'. will the weight stay off etc. this book covers this & every other morsel of information on weight loss etc. some of the facts on the problems facing an overweight person are 'mind blowing'. i can only urge you to consider this book for your own good health sake. you wont be dissapointed.

This is the most effective and helpful book on weightloss I've ever read. Things like portion control, eating only when hungry and stopping when full are elementary, right? Every diet book addresses these behaviors. If I had ever understood just how to create these behaviors though, my weight would not be an issue.
I was a speed eater, as are most overweight people. Trying to slow down was excruciating until I used the techniques in this book. They work for me, and you know what? I now often feel satisfied before I clean my plate. Wow.
There are pages full of inconvienient questions. When I took the time to answer them, light started to shine in my cave of secrets, the ones I keep from meself. The book is very personal, having been based on the clinical experience of the authors' practice. It is never condescending, even when they are explaining practical information I should have learned as a child.
Shirran's Solution has convinced me that weightloss, permanent weightloss, isn't really about what you eat. Nutritional principles are indeed explained, but the major focus is on one's habits, behaviors, attitudes and most of all, one's relationship with food.
I know this sounds like weight loss at a snail's pace, but it's not. I have found it remarkably efficient. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to put their weight issues to rest in a short time.

I bought this book after going to Spain to the Elite Clinic and going through the GASTRIC mind BAND (tm) experience. Marion gave me a copy of the book when I was at the clinic, but I have since bought another from Amazon for back-up. It is well written and full of common sense and thought provoking idea's and information.
A book that you will find yourself reading from cover to cover, and then dipping in and out of on a regular basis.
The book is the next best thing to actually going through the Gastric Mind Band (tm) process in Clinic, and
will really help with permanent weight loss. A VERY SMALL price to pay for such a HUGE investment in YOURSELF
and your health. It is also a far more cost effective and SAFE alternative to actually having a medical gastric band fitted, as the operation is by no means something to be taken lightly.
I have so far lost a stone in weight with very little effort, (6 weeks) and with a completely changed 'mind set' having been a 'yo yo' dieter for all my adult life.
THIS IS something that ACTUALLY works!
The authors are Martin and Marion Shirran, two down to earth and lovely people whom I met and had my sessions with in Spain.
This book will give you the chance to change your attitude to food for the rest of your life if you are prepared to make the small effort needed to re-train your subconcious mind..........SO well worth it.
You can eat anything and everything you want.......no restrictions other than quantity, but the information in the book helps to re-train you to only eat when you are hungry, eat slowly, and to savour what you are eating, and to listen to your body which will tell you when you have eaten enough! and to drink lots of lovely fresh water....
