Keep Calm and Stick to Your Diet

Thousands of people go on diets, to lose weight, or change their eating patterns, or for health reasons, but the vast majority give up without achieving their long-term goals. Sticking to a diet needs more than an eating plan, and this book uses psychological techniques to help you achieve your aims. The reason most diets fail is because you lose sight of your long-term goals, and let negative thinking overcome your good intentions. This book will help you get results from any diet, and give a lasting sense of success, using mental imagery, exercise and assertiveness to change your behaviour and gain control of your eating. It helps you identify and understand your personal 'danger points', where your will-power might weaken - parties, perhaps, or comfort eating - and strengthen your defences. Use this book alongside any eating plan to add that vital extra ingredient for success.
