Book Reviews of The Beck Diet Solution: Train Your Brain to Think Like a Thin Person
Book Review: Promises to be the last DIET book you'll ever need!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a professional yo yo dieter, I had begun yet another attempt to lose weight during this Lent of 2007. Lent is a time in my church to bring about needed changes in one's life. I certainly needed change regarding my weight. I am also a spiritual person who has prayed for help loosing weight many times, and when I was sincerely trying to loose and making daily prayer time for guidance to keep loosing and stick to my food plan, I always found help. For a food plan this time, I decided to combine the best of what had worked for me in the past into something I could reasonably follow. My daily prayer was......."With God's help, one day at a time I can do this."
About 3 1/2 weeks into my new efforts, I found an article in Newsweek about Dr. Beck's book, The Beck Diet Solution. "THINK THIN TO GET THIN" it was entitled, and further said, "how to stick to a healthy eating plan of your own choosing (I had come up with one) by changing the way you talk to yourself when confronted with temptation, cravings, and the inevitable dietary lapse." Very interesting........"just what you need, another diet book....you have a whole shelf of them" an inner voice said. I didn't listen to that voice, because this book was different. It wasn't a new fad diet it was about changing my thinking....cognitive therapy....hadn't ever tried that approach. VERY INTERESTING!!!!!!
I tried to find the book in stores and discovered it wasn't due out until 4/1 so I ordered it from Amazon......one of my favorite places to order books etc. Was told it would come after 4/1......Ok, I'll keep praying and do what I'm doing.
The book came wonderful surprise gift to me, BUT the day before it came I found a bible passage, during my prayer time, that blew me away, especially after I started to read the book.
It's from Romans 12: 1 & 2, part of which I quote in caps below:
DON'T COPY THE BEHAVIOR AND CUSTOMS OF THIS WORLD (overeating of foods that are bad for you......not always making healthy food choices)BUT.....LET GOD TRANSFORM YOU INTO A NEW PERSON BY CHANGING THE WAY YOU THINK (what the cognitive therapy approach promises to do).....changing the way I think!!!!
As I started to read the book, I saw this book was something I'd needed for a long time to help me not only loose weight (I'd done that many times) but also learn to new techniques to keep it off permanently. The Beck Diet Solution does this with a 6 week plan to retrain your thinking about and approach to food. One new lesson a day and/or a task that re-enforces ones you learned previously...ONE DAY AT A TIME (my prayer as I started once again to try to lose).
I feel I was guided to this book because of my prayerful desire to loose weight and be a healthy happier person. I want to stress that this is NOT A SPIRITUAL DIETING BOOK. Don't be afraid of it if you are not a spiritual person. What it is, is an excellent guide/tool for anyone who sincerely wants to loose weight and keep it off. Give it a try and see what you think!!!What do you have to loose????Me, about 40 lbs.
I am about 1/4 of the way to my goal weight and for the first time in a long while, I am really enjoying my journey to get there. While I have only just started The Beck Diet Solution, I look forward each day to reading and doing what is asked in each chapter. I have confident hope that this is the last Diet book I will ever need. Thank you, Dr. Beck!!!!
P.S. I have now finished Dr. Beck's wonderful book and am 1/2 way to what I think is my goal weight. I say "think" because Dr. Beck's book ends with discussions on "lowest achievable weight" and "lowest maintainable weight". Something dieters need to think about, because too many times we look to a number that is not easy to maintain. Dr. Beck covers this topic very well. I feel like a new person....I AM A NEW PERSON, the one my scripture reading talked about.......one who is loosing weight and using the tools this book provided to keep that up and to stay at a good weight WHEN I get there!!!! I say Thank you Dr. Beck
P.P.S. I am now down 30 lbs!!!! 3/4 of the way to my goal!!!! THIS IS THE BEST BOOK ON HOW TO STAY ON A DIET AND RETRAIN YOUR THINKING I HAVE EVER FOUND!!! Many of my friends have it and are using it too, with excellent results. Buy it and try it, you won't be sorry!!!!!!
P.P.P.S. I am at my goal wt. and maintaining it using the skills learned in this life changing book. If you would like a book of spiritual help in you dieting efforts, I highly recommend "THE DIETER'S PRAYER BOOK" by Heather Harpham Kopp (see my review of it).
