The Complete Beck Diet for Life: The Five-Stage Program for Permanent Weight Loss (Hardcover) Review

I am a veteran of the Beck Diet Solution book and Workbook.I used it successfully last year while I was dieting.I ended up losing 120 pounds (yes, really!! I went from a size 28 down to a size 8 and I have successfully maintained for the past 6 months).Beck's techniques and tools work with ANY nutritious, well balanced diet.The key is getting you to start thinking like a normal person instead of a fat person.You learn the skills you need to solve your own problems and learn to avoid the mind traps that make you gain weight and sabotage yourself.
It is true that I have a different mindset as a thin person than I ever had a fat person.I am a new person and I owe a lot of that to the Diet Solution.

So the question I had in my mind was.... I already have the Diet Solution book and workbook, do I really need this new book??Is this book different in any way from the Diet Solution?

The answer is yes -- Even though this book uses many of the exact same techniques and therapy, it is presented in a whole different way and uses a different time frame.I actually think that the way the stages are presented in this book is more logical to me and seemed easier to follow than the Diet Solution book.They are both great books in different ways, but if I had to choose one over the other, I like this one better.

I made myself new set of cards when I went through this book and it has amazed me how much my thinking has changed over the past year from my last cards and how many more things still need to change.I have only had the book for a week so far, but I have read through it twice and I plan on re-doing the entire program from scratch, using the stages.

This book also addressed some of the issues I was having with maintaining my current weight because it addressed my motivation issues directly in a way that made sense to me.

Beck's approach to weight loss is different than anything you have ever done in the past.She never talks down to the reader or makes the reader feel inadequate.She is a very realistic, positive voice that is no nonsense about what needs to be done and how to go about doing it.She sets forth very clearly defined, straight-forward tasks for dieting that if they are followed correctly, step by step, you WILL lose weight and you WILL follow your plan and you WILL stay on track.You can change your thinking.
