| |
Dieting, weight loss, weight control, weight reduction, weight management... call it what you will, it's a topic that touches every one of us. These days it seems everyone wants to lose a little weight or a lot. If you've ever felt guilty for having that extra helping at dinner or for grabbing a candy bar as a snack, if your doctor has told you to lose weight for better health, or if you've wanted to drop a clothing size or tried to firm up in time for the summer, you're certainly not alone. Earl Spence has been there himself. Having successfully lost over 100 pounds, he now shares his own hard-earned insights in his first book, The Mental Challenge of Dieting. With candid attention to the complex workings of the mind when it comes to food habits, Spence reveals the importance of learning about your body and how it functions, of recognizing why you eat, and of understanding the role stress may play in the problem. From the "battle of senses" one faces when dieting to the Shark Effect and to his own tried-and-true method of DCDs (Designed Cheat Days), Spence offers straightforward overviews of the familiar yet hidden struggles we face. And his approaches to handling holidays, dining out, and attending parties unveil just a few of the simple, practical solutions Spence shares throughout his book for breaking unhealthy routines, altering behavior patterns, and even tricking the mind. Spence knows the importance of exercise, the value of compliments, the significance of milestones, and the adjustment one must take after the diet ends. Allow him to share his wisdom with you as you confront The Mental Challenge of Dieting. |
