The Beck Diet Solution: Train Your Brain to Think Like a Thin Person

Any sensible diet will help you lose weight, but the challenge for 90% of Americans is actually staying on the diet they choose. In THE BECK DIET SOLUTION, Dr. Judith Beck has created a four-week plan that will help people stick with their diet, lose weight with confidence, and keep weight off for a lifetime. Dr. Beck is one of the foremost authorities in the field of Cognitive Therapy. This program is not only based on the authors personal success and on her success with her many clients, but also on published research. It all starts with how you think. 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 use 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.

Understanding Dietary Supplements (Understanding Health and Sickness Series)

For many consumers, taking one or more dietary supplements is a natural addition to a healthy lifestyle. The decision to take a dietary supplement may be based on the recommendation of a doctor, a dietitian, or a friend. Information regarding dietary supplements abounds but can be misleading or contradictory. In fact, some dietary supplements contain substances that are not listed on the product label and some can actually be dangerous, especially for people taking prescription medicines. In her book Understanding Dietary Supplements, Jenna Hollenstein covers a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals, herbs and botanicals, drugs, and gives jargon-free explanations of how each supplement can work on the body. Dietary supplements can interact with prescription and over-the-counter drugs so it is critical to make informed choices when choosing supplements and Understanding Dietary Supplements is the guide to help you do just that. Hollenstein is a clinical editor at the Pri-Med Institute of M|C Communications, in Boston, Maryland.
