Dr Beck, one of the foremost authorities in the field of Cognitive Therapy, has created a six-week plan that will help people stick with their diet, lose weight with confidence, and keep weight off for a lifetime. This program is not only based on the author's personal success and on her success with her many clients, but also on published research. It all starts with how you think. "The Beck Diet Solution" is designed to build psychological skills that will enable you to: avoid cheating; cope with hunger and cravings; deal with stress and strong negative emotions without turning to food; motivate yourself to exercise; handle eating out, vacations, and special occasions; and, eliminate overeating, bingeing, and backsliding. You can learn how to do all of the things you need to do to diet successfully by changing the way you think. |

Or have you managed to lose weight only to gain it back? You probably haven't been successful because you just didn't know how. ReviewsCan thinking and eating like a thin person be learned, similar to learning to drive or use a computer? Beck (Cognitive Therapy for Challenging Problems) contends so, based on decades of work with patients who have lost pounds and maintained weight through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Beck's six-week program adapts CBT, a therapeutic system developed by Beck's father, Aaron, in the 1960s, to specific challenges faced by yo-yo dieters, including negative thinking, bargaining, emotional eating, bingeing, and eating out. Beck counsels readers day-by-day, introducing new elements (creating advantage response cards, choosing a diet, enlisting a diet coach, making a weight-loss graph) progressively and offering tools to help readers stay focused (writing exercises, to-do lists, ways to counter negative thoughts). There are no eating plans, calorie counts, recipes or exercises; according to Beck, any healthy diet will work if readers learn to think differently about eating and food. Beck's book is like an extended therapy session with a diet coach. (Apr.) Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information. "* 'The most empowering diet secret ever' - O, The Oprah Magazine * 'The Beck Diet Solution is the only diet book I would recommend to firends. Her honest straightforward, no-nonsense approach can not only transform your body, but change your mind and your life - permanently. Beck is the the go-to expert for anyone looking for a sane, healthy way to lose weight and keep it off.' - Rachel Combe, Elle magazine health columnist * '....that's because it's perhaps the best diet book ever to focus on the psychology of permanent weight loss.' - Newsweek"
