Book Reviews of Beck Diet Solution Weight Loss Workbook: The 6-week Plan to Train Your Brain to Think Like a Thin Person
Book Review: Just another diet book
Summary: 1 Stars
I am usually a big fan of Beck and her cognitive therapy work. But this book isn't really her best work. Its just another "quick fix" diet book, with the focus on short term rather than long term change, and even some of the guilt stuff. The process of working out new thoughts is not interactive enough to hold, the new thoughts she suggests are sometimes the very type of thoughts folks who are losing weight actually guilt themselves with. Good idea, bad application. I have tried a few CBT workbooks with my clients, and this one is going right back to amazon. Nothing new here!Book Review: Learn to think like a thin person
Summary: 1 Stars
This was a very helpful tool to use with the book.
I'm 20 lbs down with an online wt loss site, but these Beck 'tools' have been quite a good addition.

Book Review: My psychologist recommened this book
Summary: 5 Stars
My psychologist and therapist recommned this book and we have been working through each step.
Some of the recommendations are great: sitting down for each meal (no eating while standing or in a car), eating slowly and mindfully, dealing with hunger, etc.
Book Review: No Gimmicks, Real Results
Summary: 5 Stars
After having my fourth child (and having lost all the weight between each baby), I just couldn't get motivated to lose the weight again. I am not a "diet" person, and I refuse to do anything I don't feel I can maintain over the long haul. This book looked promising to me, and worth a try. Good decision. I lost 20 pounds over a period of about 6 months. I then stalled, still 10 pounds short of my pre-pregnancy weight. I knew I wasn't quite doing everything this program recommends, because cutting corners had been working ok for me (didn't do the food plan after the first 4 weeks or so... ate standing up a lot...). I bought the companion workbook for a quick re-read about 6 weeks ago. No more cutting corners. I have lost 6 more pounds... 4 to go. Everytime I don't follow my food plan, I stop losing.
No magic here. Useful methods that you can use forever. It's not easy to do it, but all you have to do to ensure results is DO it. If you do what she says to do, you will lose weight.
Book Review: Redundant--But the Original Was Good
Summary: 4 Stars
This workbook goes along with the Beck Diet Solution. It has most of the same information as the hardcover book, but does not go into the same amount of detail and is missing some of the tasks and forms. It is still good, just as the Beck Diet Solution is good. I have certainly used my workbook in companionship with my book.
