The Five Step Program for Permanent Weight Loss

(HealthNewsDigest.com) - With over twenty-five years experience as a psychologist and diet coach Dr. Judith S. Beck, Director of the Beck Institute for Cognitive Therapy and Research and New York Times best-selling author of The Beck Diet Solution is back with THE COMPLETE BECK DIET FOR LIFE: The Five Step Program for Permanent Weight Loss which includes the Think Thin Eating Plan (Oxmoor House; $24.95; January 2009). A must have for anyone who hungers to train their brain to think thin and learn how to eat like those who have not simply lost weight, but who have conquered the battle to keep weight off for years. Dr. Beck states, “Cognitive therapy—the most highly researched and effective form of talk therapy—teaches dieters how to identify, and effectively talk back to their self-defeating, sabotaging thoughts such as “It’s okay if I eat this food I hadn’t planned because I’m happy/I’m sad/I’m stressed/I’m busy/it’s a special occasion/no one is watching/ I’ve been good all day/I’ll make up for it later” and dozens of other excuses.

THE COMPLETE BECK DIET FOR LIFE is the only program that teaches dieters how to overcome universal problems such as feeling deprived, disappointed, overwhelmed, apathetic, or discouraged—by changing their thinking. No wonder so few dieters have been able to lose weight permanently. They never knew how to change their thinking so they could make permanent changes in their lifestyle habits. Dr. Beck points out that with other weight-loss programs, dieters are not permitted room for error—to “cheat” on their diets. Thankfully, Dr. Beck respects that dieters are human; she expects mistakes. THE COMPLETE BECK DIET FOR LIFE teaches dieters exactly what to do immediately following mistakes, and how to solve and prevent them in the future.

Based on the eating choices of the most successful dieters she has counseled and with the assistance of a registered dietician, Dr. Beck has created a comprehensive lifetime food plan. With THE COMPLETE BECK DIET FOR LIFE dieters will discover the 5 Stages of successful dieting and maintenance. Dieters learn how to motivate themselves every day, how to give themselves credit for every change they make, how to create time and energy for dieting, and how to handle hunger and cravings. Dr. Beck eases dieters into changing their eating, one step at a time. They master one task (such as eating slowly) before they move on to the next. And they learn how to develop plans for coping with challenging situations such as holiday celebrations and people who “push food.” By practicing the skills in Dr. Beck’s 5 Stages, dieters will achieve a lifetime of healthful eating and lifelong motivation. “To be a successful dieter and maintainer, you have to learn to follow a highly nutritious diet, use good eating habits, and respond to sabotaging thinking that can get you off track. Change your thinking and you will make permanent changes in your eating, your weight, your self-esteem, and your health.”

With THE COMPLETE BECK DIET FOR LIFE dieters will:

Learn to think differently and overcome common dieting pitfalls and sabotaging thoughts
Learn how to eat favorite foods while steadily losing an average of one-half to two pounds per week

Feel in control in the most challenging situations—no matter what
Build confidence in their ability to follow a healthy diet and exercise plan
Remain motivated to maintain weight loss for life

Beck, M.D. She received her doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania where she is currently a Clinical Associate Professor of Psychology in Psychiatry. Director of the Beck Institute of Cognitive Therapy, she is also the past president of the Academy of Cognitive Therapy.
