Rather than promoting any particular diet or exercise regime, this title focuses on the missing link to lasting weight loss - the powerful role of the mind. The most critical key to losing weight and keeping it off lies in the way we think. One's ability to switch to a positive state of mind in the face of setback is crucial. Dr. Mautner presents real-life examples, exercises, self-quizzes, and mini homework lessons to help the reader change from negative to positive.
This joyous book offers the dieter and would-be dieter a specific psychological plan for managing his or her thoughts, moods,and behavior in a way that helps him or her start and stick with a diet and overcome backsliding. Complex cognitive-behavioral concepts interwoven in the text are presented in a simple, comprehensible, accessible fashion, helping the dieter take control of his or her food intake and develop a life-long healthy relationship with food and eating. Useful tips come tumbling down throughout as Dr. Mautner becomes your guide and companion in the difficult but doable task ahead. I know this book worked for me. Two chapters into it and I stopped eating at night and between meals, and felt good about myself and my accomplishment. If you are struggling with losing weight, don't miss this. Highly recommended.
