"I found this book to be very helpful in my quest to permanently change some of my not so helpful eating habits. What I liked most about the book is that it doesn't talk about what you should eat or not eat, but talks about your thinking, beliefs and attitudes about yourself and food that either help you or sabotage you in your efforts to eat healthy. The basic premise is that whether it's conscious or unconscious, any time we act, we have thoughts that proceed that act. And the key to alter behavior is to examine the thinking that leads to your actions."

The Beck Diet Solution Listener Reviews

" Training book for Thinking Like a Thin Person! "
— Debbie, 2/18/2014 -
" I really like this book. I've read my fair share of diet books but most of them focus on which foods to eat, not how to adjust your approach to food. "
— Stacy, 2/13/2014 -
" Good information. The practice of writing things down and reading daily is probably beneficial, but I don't see myself putting it to use. "
— Wendy, 2/10/2014 -
" Good theory but just couldn't program my mind like she would like. "
— Melissa, 1/30/2014 -
" The Beck Diet solution makes clear many of the psychological issues involved in eating and dieting. For that reason, it will work with any diet, because it's not so much about what you're eating, but why. Beck encourages the reader to take a good hard look at why we do what we do. "
— Rose, 1/21/2014 -
" thinking like a thin person isn't easy! "
— Dawn, 1/20/2014 -

— Brenda, 1/20/2014 -
" Step-by-step sensible advice on changing your mindset for life long weight loss. "
— Happyreader, 12/4/2013 -
" Cognitive therapy approach to fixing unhealthy eating habits. Straight forward and easy to follow. It is a self guided workbook. Loved it! "
— Kathryn, 10/15/2013 -
" Great motivational tool! Beck uses the cognitive therapy approach, which, duh, is no surprise since her father was Aaron Beck, the father of the cognitive therapy movement. "
— Wellst, 6/15/2013 -
" Started out good, but most of the strategies offered were basically common sense. A good reminder of why to build healthy eating habits, but nothing most people don't already know. "
— Nicole, 6/9/2013 -
" This is the only book that actually helps me lose weight. Works every time. "
— Danielle, 8/11/2012 -
" This book is a must for those of us who struggle with our weight and weightloss. I keep it at the ready always and have recommended it to many friends. "

— Jonelle, 5/18/2012 -
" Diets don't work! Read Health at Every Size by Linda Bacon, instead! "
— Kimberly, 4/9/2012 -
" Great book with helpful techniques for taming those sabotaging thoughts that can hold you back from reaching your goals. "
— Brenda, 4/2/2012 -
" In order to follow the diet in this book (which is not actually a specific diet) there are a lot of steps that need to be followed continuously; a lot of cards that need to be made and read repeatedly. This may be too much for some people to do. "
— Staci, 12/9/2011 -
" Very good book that actually makes sense. Not your normal "diet" book in that it never tells you what to eat or how to exercise. Rather it focuses on the fact that you already know these things, so this book address the reasons why you don't do them. "
— Linda, 7/19/2011 -
" This book is great resource for anyone who wants to diet successfully. Must read! "
— Nathaniel, 5/4/2011 -
" This self-help book probably works really well for those who like to keep up with elaborate systems, ie notecards, journals, spreadsheets, etc. <br/> <br/>This isn't an 'eat this, eat that' diet plan. It's behavior modification. But it's quite complex and involved. "
— Connie, 4/17/2011 -
