Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Can 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.)

Once and for all...,

This review is from: THE BECK DIET SOLUTION: TRAIN YOUR BRAIN TO THINK LIKE A THIN PERSON (Hardcover)
This is one of the best books I have ever read on dieting - and I`ve read a lot of them! I've tried many diets and I've not been able to stick to them. My problem has always been the inability to follow through on the diets and exercise plans. Now this book finally addresses the problems I've experienced. It talks about the psychological aspect of dieting. It suggests precise steps to take to overcome the psychological blocks. It helps the reader rebuke his own inner doubt. By reading this book I gained self-respect and self-awareness. Out of the whole plethora of diet books the only other title that I also highly recommend is "Can we Live 150 Years?" Again, this is less of a dieting book and more of healthy-life-style in general, and the author does not focus on dieting at all. But the results will surprise you. The chapter on Obesity is probably the best one ever written on this topic. These two books ("The Beck Diet Solution" and "Can We Live 150") will cure your overweight problem once and for all.

Inside the Mind of the Thin,

This review is from: THE BECK DIET SOLUTION: TRAIN YOUR BRAIN TO THINK LIKE A THIN PERSON (Hardcover)
This book uses cognitive psychology to help you lose weight. Cognitive psychology is based on the concept that the way you think affects how you feel and what you do. Cognitive therapy, then, helps you identify your self-defeating thinking and helps you respond to it so you can feel better and behave in helpful ways. Instead of leading you step-by-step through a diet plan, this book addresses the psychology behind why you can't get yourself to follow one and lose weight. In this book, you pick the diet (and an alternative as a back up), and the book helps you follow it.The set-up of the book is a six-week plan. Week 1 is laying the groundwork, where you pick 2 diets. Week 2 is getting prepared to diet, Week 3 is starting the diet, Week 4 looks into responding to sabotaging thoughts, Week 5 is about overcoming challenges, such as staying in control when you go out to eat, and Week 6 is fine tuning things. All-in-all, I'd have to say that its a great resource to address the psycholgical side of eating. There's no magic to it, just a little looking inside yourself and addressing any barriers you have that may be holding you back. Readers may also enjoy The Sixty-Second Motivator to address motivation issues as well.

It works!,
By Christina Rodrigues (Edmonton, AB, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: THE BECK DIET SOLUTION: TRAIN YOUR BRAIN TO THINK LIKE A THIN PERSON (Hardcover)
This is a self-help cognitive-behavioral therapy book for obesity. I appreciated the degree of practice experiments and repetition, although I was selective in creating weight-loss cards for the ideas that resonated with me (eg., "In order to lose weight, I accept the fact that I must plan and control what I eat. Spontaneous eating is just not for me!", or "Food is wasted, whether it goes in the garbage or into a body that doesn't need it/can't tolerate it.") Using this book, and with the help of a medically supervised weight-loss program, I was able to lose and maintain a 70-lb weight loss for over a year. Without this book, I don't know if I could have accepted the lifestyle changes that are needed.I would recommend combining this book with either the South Beach Diet (just remember "Stop fooling yourself! Portion sizes always matter. Some hunger is expected when losing weight,and HUNGER IS NEVER AN EMERGENCY!")--or, if you can--the Dr.Bernstein Diet--and this book will help you stick to it to lose weight most efficiently. Believe me, there is a lot more to weight loss and maintenance than just calorie counting!
