Product Description
Any sensible diet will help you lose weight, but the challenge for 90% of Americans is actually staying on the diet they choose.Enter Dr. Judith Beck and The Beck Diet Solution.Dr. Beck, one of the foremost authorities in the field of Cognitive Therapy, has created a four-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 authors personal success and on her success with her many clients, but also on published research. It all starts with how you think. With other programs, you think about nothing but food: counting, weighing, and worst of all, food you cant have. This way of thinking inevitably contributes to diet failure. The Beck Diet Solution is the only program that helps dieters use Cognitive Therapy methods scientifically proven over 20 yearsto forever change those treacherous thought patterns that lead to overeating, cheating, excuses, and other dieting downfalls.

 Inside the Mind of the Thin May 8, 2008
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.
Best diet support book I've read! April 12, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is not a specific diet. It is supposed to support whatever diet you choose. But it actually covers what is a big problem for a lot of us - its not the food, its the reasons why we over-eat: the "emotional" eating, the "boredom" eating, the "stress" eating. I've lost 125 pounds and am now maintaining and I keep this book close because the mind games never leave. Food isn't like alcohol, we can't just stop eating, we have to learn to use it for what its meant for - substenance.
Good book April 5, 2008

This is a book written by a cognitive behavioral therapist so it gives good behavioral techniques to help you deal with emotional eating. The information is helpful and if you use the techniques they will make a difference. Like many things in life, losing weight usually comes down to one question: how bad do you want it. Reading this book isn't going to magically make you lose weight but it can give you some techniques to use when you are struggling to put the cupcake down.

 Pretty good...hideous cover. March 13, 2008
2 out of 7 found this review helpful
I read this book and found it to be pretty good. I really loved how the author advocates a total change of lifestyle and a total change of thinking. However, I found it too rigid. Some of her advice (ie not eating snacks between meals) became more of a hassle to me than a help. Everyone is different and some people (such as myself) need snacks. I found myself trying to mentally train my mind, reciting and reading the reasons why I wanted to lose weight on a tiny index card, to hold out until the next meal. It was such a pain and it made me THINK too much and I ended up feeling somewhat deprived. Check this book out instead. It's for people who want lasting change in their health:Integrative Nutrition
