With other programs, you think about nothing but food: counting, weighing, and, worst of all, food you can't have. This way of thinking inevitably contributes to diet failure. The Beck Diet Solution is the only program that helps dieters us Cognitive Therapy methods - scientifically proven over 20 years - to forever change those treacherous thought patterns that lead to overeating, cheating, excuses, and other dieting downfalls.

- A new task is presented each day to build psychological skills to deal with the challenges of hunger and craving, overeating, alcohol, eating out, special occasions, vacations, stress, and much more. Dieters learn the rationale for instituting healthy eating habits, and they learn how to respond to sabotaging thoughts that try to convince them it's okay not to use these habits consistently. They practice these skills over and over again, aided by a daily to-do list.

- Easy-to-use tools are found throughout the program, including hunger monitoring scales, daily planning schedules, weight-loss graphs, and motivational cards for handling time/energy hurdles, eating out, and other high-risk situations.

Can thinking and eating like a thin person be learned, similar to learning to drive or use a computer? Beck (Cognitive Therapy for Challenging Problems ) contends so, based on decades of work with patients who have lost pounds and maintained weight through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Beck's six-week program adapts CBT, a therapeutic system developed by Beck's father, Aaron, in the 1960s, to specific challenges faced by yo-yo dieters, including negative thinking, bargaining, emotional eating, bingeing, and eating out. Beck counsels readers day-by-day, introducing new elements (creating advantage response cards, choosing a diet, enlisting a diet coach, making a weight-loss graph) progressively and offering tools to help readers stay focused (writing exercises, to-do lists, ways to counter negative thoughts). There are no eating plans, calorie counts, recipes or exercises; according to Beck, any healthy diet will work if readers learn to think differently about eating and food. Beck's book is like an extended therapy session with a diet coach. (Apr.)
