Book Reviews of Slim Forever - For Women: Subliminal Self-Help
Book Review: Does not work
Summary: 1 Stars
I was feeling encouraged by the other reviews and I only needed to lose about 10 pounds so I figured this would help me get rid of 10 pounds. I bought this tape to help me get through my restrictive diet and excercise but I was not expecting the tape to do the work for me. They recommend that you listen to both sides for at least several weeks and I was listening to both sides everyday for a year.
So how come I still love chocolate and when I cut out chocolate I baked cookies non-stop which is strange because the cookie baking was not even a habit I had until I started listening to these tapes. My point is that I suspect the tape does little or nothing because if it did anything you'd think after a year of listening to both sides I'd be over my chocolate addiction and now what is up with my new cookie baking and eating addiction? I was suppose to stop craving sweets but it made the cravings worse! Still I REALLY REALLY pushed myself to try to lose weight and it was not effortless at all--I did deprive myself and I knew I was depriving myself. I worked out everyday for at least 60 minutes and did not enjoy it. I really really wanted to lose weight for a trip that was coming up and the thought of going on the trip with 7-10 extra pounds is what really kept me motivated to stick it out, so it wasn't the tape.
Just trust me, like I said ...if the tape worked why do I still need chocolates and sweets?! The only reason I haven't gained weight from the chocolates and cookies is because I run almost everyday and that basically burns these calories off. Over the course of a year of listening to the tapes everyday I only lost a total of 5 pounds and dieting and excercise felt like torture so the tape did not make me less aware that I was dieting nor did it help with bad sweets addictions.
I suspect the problem is that many of the affirmations simply do not apply to me and they don't make sense. For example, she says "I'm active, attractive and in demand" And all I'm thinking is what does she mean "in demand"? She does a poor job of getting you into a hypnotic state and I think the main problem is the combo of it not getting me into hypnosis and then many of the things said seem to be affirmations for better self-esteem. She does try to get you to crave vegetables and fruit, but I always liked vegetables and fruits long before this tape, my problem is not so much that I don't already eat healthy... it is that too often I add extra calories in my diet because I always give into the chocolate/sweets cravings. One of the main problems is unfortunately she does not really make a point of getting you to stop craving the foods that added the extra pounds in the first place.
Anyways despite listening to both sides for an entire year I hardly noticed any changes or difference and after a year of repeated listening I think it's now safe to assume it did not work for me, but who knows maybe it will work for someone else. I will be trying a differnt tape now because I'd really love to kick my addiction for sweets.
