Customer Reviews

Great way to loose weight!

This book will work if you allow it to. You must listen to what the author has to say on the pages. Don't let the other reviews discourage you. If you have been dealing with a weight problem I am sure you have tried many ways to loose the weight, and possibly alot of money in the process, I know I have. Come on people, this book is only a few bucks! And I say that it is worth its "weight" in gold, pun intended!

Audio Tapes

I've only recently read the book but the information is astounding. It really sounds so simple, though making changes will take time. That's another reason for my email. Has anyone been able to locate the audio tapes he references in the book? I cannot find them and am very interested in purchasing them. Thanks for any assistance anyone is able to offer.

Have an open mind

I read the other reviews about Dr. Helmstetter's book, and am surprised about the narrow-mindedness of the reviewers. I had the good fortune to hear Dr. Helmstetter speak at a convention and was very impressed. He made it clear that since the day we were born, we have been creating pathways in our brains by our self talk. The older we get the more ingrained these pathways get. The only way to change these pathways is to feed our brains, on a consistant basis, new, positive, self-talk. The reason you need to hear these messages in someone else's voice on a tape, is because your current negative pathways are so ingrained by listening to YOUR OWN VOICE, that it is more effective to listen to someone else's voice in order to change them. That is why Altzheimer's patients lose certain parts of their memories, they are not supplying information to that part of the brain anymore, so it deteriorates. If you supply your brain with new, positive information on a consistant basis, then the old pathways you have developed regarding overeating, etc. die out and the new ones become stronger.This applies to so many areas of our lives, not just in overeating. It relates to self-image, confidence, desire, and much more. Give this book a chance and it will change your life!!Not affiliated with Dr. Helmstetter in any way

What to say When You Talk To Yourself

I have worked as a therapist for thirty years with many credits to my work including total relief from anorexia and other so called incurables for my clients. This book in the proper hands is of the highest value.

I can hardly believe how effective these techniques are!

Now, I'm an old pro at the weight loss/weight gain game. I've read so many weight loss books and tried so many different methods, diets, exercise programs, etc. that I could write my own book. But I'm afraid it would be as ineffective as all the others I've read, with the exception of Shad Helmstetter's Self-Talk For Weight Loss. He gets right to the heart of the reason why most dieters fail. Then he takes his readers through easy to follow techniques to take back control of their eating habits--and their lives! I noticed progress for my self right from the beginning. Each day I practice his methods, following a healthy eating and exercise program gets easier. Don't give up on your current weight loss plan, if it's based on healthy principles. Read this book, and make it all work easier than you would have ever imagined
