 - Good tipsHelpful to keep you on track. If you don't like making lists then this book is not for you. Rating: - It really works!My doctor suggested that I buy either the book or this workbook. Since I like to make lists and check boxes, I chose the workbook. In eight weeks of dieting (10 weeks of following Beck's program), I've lost 16 pounds, and my eating habits have changed forever. The beauty of her plan is that it forces you to reorient your relationship with food. The most effective concepts for me have been: the rule that you must eat everything sitting down; eating slowly and mindfully; and the revolutionary (to me) concept that hunger is not an emergency, but a mild discomfort that will eventually be alleviated when it's time to eat again. When I finished with the workbook after six weeks I made my own. I highly recommend this workbook. Rating: - Great Weight Loss ToolI have the original book and this workbook is a great supplement to it. This weight loss plan based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the first plan that's ever worked for me. If you have a food addiction, this plan retrains your brain and I'm amazed at the results so far. Definately recommend it to everyone. Rating:  - This is a good diet bookI found this book to be very helpful, easy to read and easy to use. The active style the author takes to get you focused on life changes is the boost I needed to begin a weight loss program. This book gives you things to think about, ways to change what you think and feel about eating and many activities to help you along the way. It is not a DIET. It is a workbook to keep you on track while you change your eating habits. My only criticism is that it was not set up to use more than once. Rating: - Highly Recommended!Despite my extensive collection of diet books, there are really only two that have helped me: Dr. Phil's "The Ultimate Weight Solution", and now, this book. I just finished the 6 weeks, faithfully following the program each day, and I must say that I do notice a big change in my attitude toward food and exercise. I plan to take a week "off", then start reviewing it for another 6 weeks. There are lots of great strategies here, and the daily reinforcement keeps me focused. I highly recommend this book for its down-to-earth, no nonsense approach. (If you like to check off lists and write things down, I would recommend the Workbook over the book).
