Format:Paperback
I have read many books over the years in an effort to break my overeating/yo-yo dieting patterns and I think this book might have actually helped me to do so.
The book uses the principles of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy to help you train yourself to have a better relationship with food and approach dieting in a sensible and realistic way. The book does not contain a food plan - you select two sensible diets of your choice - instead it gives you the tools to follow your chosen diet plan successfully. It is set out with some explanatory chat first and then a daily journal (covering 42 days) with a separate concept for each day, a to do list and space to write your own solutions/responses etc. Although you have to undertake to put some time aside everyday it didn't take me more than 10-20 mins each morning to read and think out my strategy. A lot of what Dr Beck says is just common sense but it made me question some of my old assumptions and unhelpful ways of thinking that i had taken to be true for a very long time. Whilst following the programme I lost 10 pounds and since completing it I have found it easy to continue to follow the principles and have lost a further stone in 9 weeks. It is still early days but the weight has stayed off and it has not been as difficult as usual to maintain. I feel more positive than I have done in a long time.
The book will not take the place of therapy for anyone with serious food issues but for those of us who have just got lost over the years in a dieting haze this book is perfect. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

If you've struggled to achieve and maintain weight loss, BUY THIS BOOK NOW and train yourself, basically, to make a true friend of your worst enemy - you!
After a lifetime of self-loathing, yo-yo dieting, gym classes, eating disorder workshops, self-help groups etc., I had come to terms and even learned to love my (oversize) self some years ago. Hitting 50 made me rethink my 'acceptance'. I couldn't change my age but I should take responsibility finally for being as healthy as possible. The result: I now look and feel 15 years younger.
I did find a great dietician, but I knew that was no guarantee as he wasn't the first: my problem was 'me' not the wrong diet or the wrong doctor or the wrong slimming club etc!
The ONLY reason I 'did it' and did it properly this time, was this book. (And only after starting the book did I decide to make my first appointment with the dietician - though as Dr Beck says any sensible diet will do.) WARNING:
If you have no knowledge or experience of cognitive therapy
it would be very easy to dismiss this book as too simple, too repetitive, as well as irritating in its bizarre use of font styles and sizes, but this would be a grave error. All those things are deliberate and an essential part of a method that works. So if you can get past that & just put a little effort into doing exactly what Dr Beck says, however banal it may seem, I promise you'll see the results and they will be lasting. What have you got to lose (except the weight)?
This book helped me change my life, enormously, I can't recommend it highly enough.

For years I have wondered why I knew pretty much everything about dieting and exercise but felt utterly powerless to put what I knew into practice. The gap between knowledge and action was incredibly small, but for an unknown reason I was unable to bridge it. It's early days, but I think this book may have provided that bridge. I've put myself in Dr Beck's hands and am following the 6-week activity plan to the letter. So far so good. Worth a look, especially if you've been going up and down the diet rollercoaster for years.
