This book gives some practical ways in which to retrain your mind to think differently about food.
It is not a diet, but works in conjunction with your diet of choice. It gives you strategeies to stop you sabataging your diet attempts.
I have followed it and now think before I eat.I have lost 2 kgs in 2 weeks which is good for me!
I recommend it to anyone who has been doeting for years and getting nowhere.

This is an excellent book. beck is a psychologist who works and researches in cognitive behaviour therapy. She is consdered an expert and is very highly respected in the field of psychology. This is not a book filled with the 'same as ever other diet guru' at all! It is based on research studies that clearly demonstrate the use of CBT with obesity helps clients to lose more weight and keep it off. So her book is structured to allow people to use the reasearch findings in a self help setting.
If you just have a few pounds to lose and don't struggle with overeating or emotional eating then you probably have no need for this. If you want to truly address the reasons you overeat and don't exercise and want to use an evidenced based approach then this is one of the best books to get. No hype, just the facts and written exercises to complete.

this is hardly groundbreaking!!!
it still comes down to willpower and nothing any other person says or suggests you do will change that.
she goes over all the same ground as every other diet guru and as far as i can see there is no nothing new in this book.
