Permanent Weight Control (Paperback)

"Think behavior" is the main thrust of this aid for the discouraged dieter. The main difference between obese and non-obese individuals, the autors contend, is their eating and exercise patterns. They direct the reader to examine step by step all psychological, social and behavioral routines surrounding thoughts about food and its ingestion. (That's where all those booster-speak euphemisms like "cognitive ecology" and "effective environmental engineering" come in.) Priority goes to uprooting tactics - from change of attitudes to change of hands while holding a fork - and the use of exercise, relaxation techniques and a sensible, nourishing diet. Generally sound advice tricked out in swathes of words and gimmicks. (Kirkus Reviews)

This is not simply a "do" or "don't" book, but rather a book directed at helping you to learn about yourself. It is based on principles derived from the careful work of scores of researchers who have studied the behavior and attitudes of overweight individuals. The major thrust of the book is to help you explore your patterns of behavior and thought, to experiment with change, to test consequences, and to incorporate new behaviors and thoughts into your everyday life. "Perhaps the best common sense, effective solution to the problem of weight control that has yet been published ... Well written and documented by an impressive list of references." -Best Sellers
