The Diet Trap Solution audiobook

When you're truly ready to work on your relationship with eating and exercise, you still need help to transform your mind. This cognitive behavior therapy based approach works with whatever "diet" or "eating plan" you choose. It's about how to program your thinking to stick with it, by reminding yourself of why it is of value to you... each and every day, in the circumstances that challenge you personally.I had read the six week program "The Beck Diet Solution", last year, and I see different strengths in each approach. This one is more targeted on individual areas of challenge, based on responses to a quiz in chapter one. So, if you're looking for a directed approach, this is the one.But the earlier book is a fuller approach, with six weeks of daily tasks and exercises that I for one found instructive, and in some cases was surprised by what I found out about myself. So... I don't see a problem with having read/worked through both books.

I love this book. There are so many reasons why healthy eating can be difficult - holidays, stress, busy schedules, other people who push you to eat/drink, etc etc. Dr. Beck has such a warm, engaging tone and includes so many personal stories of her clients who face similar struggles. When I first read this book, it helped me lose about 15 pounds relatively easily. I've slipped back into bad habits, so I needed to read it again for a tune-up!

Another excellent book by Dr. Judith Beck (and her daughter Deborah Beck Busis) addressing the thinking process that gets us in trouble when we are trying to lose weight or maintain weight loss. This book is focused on some of the common traps dieters fall into, such as family and friends who push food on us, holidays, vacations, eating out and our own all-or-nothing thinking. The charge here is to plan ahead for dealing with difficult situations, being kind and forgiving and how to get back on track before a small mistake becomes an excuse to give up entirely. Insightful, practical and addressed many scenarios that I am all too familiar with! Already trying to put some of these strategies into practice. Like Beck's other books, this is not a diet plan per say, but is designed to work with an healthy diet and tackle the situations and thought processes that might derail us from meeting our goals. The final chapter does a nice job of showing how clients have used these cognitive behavioral strategies to conquer their weight issues to address other issues in their lives.

This is the second time I have purposely read through The Diet Trap Solution. It is one that you can keep referring back to when you find your eating going out of control.This is another book that I was reading through with my friend, as we try to encourage each other to get healthier and lose weight. The book goes through the psychology of dieting and why most diets fail - not because of the diets themselves, but rather because of ourselves. There are various core strategies that is recommended you do every day (for example, reading through your Advantages List of why it is important to you to lose weight). There are reminder cards for you to carry around with you to help prepare and prevent your sabotaging behaviour, and you are encouraged to think in advance about what normally happens to sabotage your weight loss, and what strategy you will use to mitigate it this time.At the start of the book there is a quick quiz to determine which traps affect you the most, and then the book goes through each of eight traps in groups of two: Internal Traps, Interpersonal Traps, External Traps, and Universal Traps. For me, I ticked 'yes' to almost all of them, but even if you don't, I'd recommend you at least skim read through the other chapters, even if you don't pay as much attention to the ones that affect you.I like this book because it is no nonsense, Again, it's not a magic pill that will solve all your weightloss problems, but it helps focus your mind. Whilst some of the suggestions seem like common sense, I dare say that if you perfectly enacted all of them in your daily life, you wouldn't be needing to lose weight.

Toda una experiencia.Primer libro que escucho en lugar de leerlo, siendo también uno de aquellos vivos que te mandan a la acción.El sobrepeso y la obesidad son un problema de nuestros tiempos, el vivir comiendo enfocado en problemas de la vida cotidiana. Comer con ansiedad, comer y estar arrepentidos justo después de comer. La ausencia de nosotros la comer.El porqué comemos tiene múltiples respuestas, sin duda muchas ocasiones comemos diferente, tal vez de más, o elegimos de manera distinta, en determinadas situaciones. La compañía es otro factor determinante, la presión de la sociedad, los roles de la familia, nuestras emociones, son otras variables más.En este caso vemos como nos afecta el aspecto social y psicológico al tomar decisiones al comer.Un libro que se lleva a la acción, para empoderarnos, para conocernos más las cuestiones que están involucradas al acto de comer.Un libro que tiene mucho de manejo cognitivo conductual. Un libro que nos involucra, nos hace escribir y nos hace pensar que tan decididos estamos para mejorar nuestros hábitos.Aquí las respuestas y el pan de acción surge del lector (en este caso escucha), quien mejor par conocerse que uno mismo.Esto es elaborar un plan de alimentación focalizado en la introspección

Much better than her other Diet Book. It has more Cognitive Therapy in it. The other one felt like a bunch of thecniques sanduiched together, but this one brings a deeper understanding of the overfeeding mentality and how to reprogram it. I enjoyed it very much. On the other hand, as I read it not only as someone who needs to lose weight, but as a psychoterapist, I feel the example dialogues weren´t very socratic. Felt like the Becks shuvled the cognitions inside the clients brains using a screwdriver.

Making it through the pandemic!This is my third read through in four years. I found their book to show incredible insight. I am back to reading my cards daily through this pandemic. Count is eleven pounds down. No munching to pass the time. Key is it works!

everytime matters!My new mantra. Going into the holidays i tend to over eat and over do. With these tips and strategies I know that won't be a problem so much. Definitely going to make it happen this year.

Excellent Approach to Dieting...At last, a new approach to sensibly lose weight and keep it off forever. I’m looking forward to sharing these philosophies with friends and family.

Read every diet book I thought. Really found this one different and hopeful. Will read again in a month!

Great book with great tips! I plan to implement all these ideas in my life.

se fizer direitimho o que elas sugerem ajuda muito no emagecimento. Armadilhas da Dieta é o titulo em português.

Great advice and although things we already know in many ways but this book presents it in a more viable way.

Some nice tips. A lot of background and jargon.
