Review:
The simplistic title Think Thin Be Thin doesn't really encompass the ideas laid out in this encouraging book. Rather than designing a diet and exercise plan that promises results, authors Doris Wild Helmering and Dianne Hales focus instead on the psychology behind eating, and offer 101 short suggestions for getting healthy that can accompany any plan out there.
From the Inside Flap:
The tips are drawn from a variety of disciplines, including Gestalt therapy, transactional awareness, compliance theory and cognitive-behavior therapy: all these sources these translate to "there's something for everyone". Old standards like keeping a food diary and finding simple ways to burn calories (like gardening or taking the stairs at work) are mixed with creative ideas like becoming your own advice columnist for a day and watching specific comedy movies that also offer encouragement for change (think Groundhog's Day). Whether you sit down and plow through the book in one sitting or pick and choose a few tips to follow for short time periods, you'll find the positive tone both relaxing and inspiring.
While the emotional and mental aspects of weight loss are the focal point, you'll also find a few tips aimed at the more practical side, like tracking your BMI (a charted is included as an appendix) and how many calories are burned by an assortment of activities. Whether it servers as a companion to a new gym membership or a refresher course in positive thinking, this book has plenty of helpful tips to keep you on track. --Jill Lightner
Most of our country—63% of men, and an astonishing 77% of women–is struggling with their weight, either fighting to lose those extra pounds or battling to keep them off. In the groundbreaking Think Thin, Be Thin, nationally prominent therapist Doris Helmering and award-winning health writer Dianne Hales assert that the true key to a healthy body is a healthy attitude toward food and exercise. Their logic is simple: it’s your brain that ultimately controls what you eat, and how vigorously you work out, and if you change the way you think, you can change the way you behave. Using proven psychological strategies and scientifically based exercises, readers learn how to harness their thoughts to transform their behaviors, bodies, and lives. With practical advice on such troublesome issues as curbing emotional eating, getting motivated to exercise, and overcoming diet plateaus, this book is the ideal complement to every diet and weight-loss program on the market.
The easy-to-follow exercises include:
#6. Repeat a positive, motivating affirmation like "I am healthy, work out, and eat carefully" while driving to work, blow-drying your hair, or jogging on the treadmill, to raise your self-esteem.
#61. Develop a reward system for yourself to reinforce your progress as you reach goals: relax in a luxurious bubble bath after a vigorous workout, or buy some fantastic earrings when you've lost five pounds.
#93. Take a whiff of a sweetly scented vanilla candle to curb a craving for sweets; neurosensory studies show that certain aromas suppress hunger.
This empowering little book is therapy for under fifteen dollars and a must-have handbook for the thinking dieter.
