(HealthNewsDigest.com) - Los Angeles--What if a diet allows you to maintain a relationship with your favorite foods, doesn’t make you crave specific items, and doesn’t make you feel hungry all the time? These are a few considerations
cognitive behavioral psychotherapist and weight management expert Deena Solomon, PhD, MFT, presents to dieters when explaining why most traditional diets fail and how dieters feel pressured and guilt-ridden, leading to relapses and, ultimately, abandonment of dieting regimes.


“Most diets work if you have the ability to stay on them...the problem is that most people cannot,” says Dr. Solomon, a firm advocate against gastric bypass and lap-band surgeries, diet pills, and restrictive diets. Rather than impose a diet that distances them from beloved foods, Dr. Solomon puts dieters in the captain’s seat, allowing them to eat what they want, when they want, and embark on a journey of self-discovery, which is the subject of her new book Immaculate Consumption: The Path to Lifelong Weight Management (Wheatmark, Inc., Tucson, AZ, ISBN: 978-1-627-483-3, Paperback: $19.95, ISBN: 978-1-627- 483-0, Kindle: $9.99).


The book introduces a self-study method (ICP) that teaches self-awareness, self-management and discipline via scientific documentation of what they eat before they eat, helping to remove emotions associated with eating, especially for those who previously failed at weight management.


Her scientifically-based weight loss program is based on decades of research and personal experience, and forms the foundation of her own 70-lb. weight loss which she has successfully maintained since 1980, and the equally impressive results she has achieved with hundreds of patients.


With an 84% success rate, compared with the approximately 5% success rate of most diets, Solomon’s method is focused on real-life techniques for lifelong weight management. The ICP teaches you how to:
• take charge of your own weight loss or weight management journey;
• use scientific methods to develop your own custom weight loss plan;
• profoundly change your relationship with food;
• plan for, and recover from, regressions;
• and shed the persistent shame and guilt from having “failed” at other diets.


"There are millions of defeated dieters. I was one of them -- a fat girl from the Bronx who grew up to be a fat woman in L.A. I suffered countless excruciating trials, tribulations, and humiliations,” says Solomon. “Through pure chance I had the good fortune to discover a brilliant mentor in graduate school and, under his guidance created this program. Using its precepts I was able to keep 70 pounds off for over three decades. Taking a scientific approach to dieting that also addresses the emotional connections we have with food is the key to successful lifelong weight management. Removing the shame and guilt and feelings of failure is an integral part of the ICP.”
