Any sensible diet will help you lose weight, but the challenge for 90% of Americans is actually staying on the diet they choose. Enter Dr. Judith Beck and The Beck Diet Solution. Dr. Beck, one of the foremost authorities in the field of Cognitive Therapy, has created a six-week plan that will help people stick with their diet, lose weight with confidence, and keep weight off for a lifetime. This program is not only based on the author’s 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.
Features
This breakthrough six-week plan assures success by helping you assess the advantages of weight loss, pick a sensible diet and exercise program, set a goal, line up support, and prepare your environment–all this before starting any diet. This unique approach is key to preventing the downfalls that so often lead to failure.
A new task is presented each day to build psychological skills to deal with the challenges of hunger and craving, overeating, alcohol, eating out, special occasions, vacations, stress, and much more. Healthy habits are established with to-do lists, reasons and ways to do the tasks, and how to deal with negative thoughts. One day a week is designated to “Take a Breather.”
Easy-to-use, flexible, and proven tools are found throughout the program, including daily goals; weekly planner pages; and motivational coping cards for handling time/energy hurdles, eating out, and other high-risk situations.

I’m not finished with the book yet so I won’t be writing a detailed review at this time. However, I can already see that it will be a book I recommend to my clients who are motivated to lose weight and permanently change the way they approach eating. Pamela D.

I am a thin person — in my mind at least. Until I was 44 years old I was in terrific shape. Now I am a fat person. But my mind still believes I am thin. For 15 years I have been fat. But when I see a fat person I always think, “God that person is so fat. Why doesn’t he/she do something about that mess dripping, dangling and distorting his/her body?”
Then I see a picture of myself and I think, “Who is that fat person looking back at me?” It takes a moment for me to realize that the fat person is me.
I am going to apply what I read in this book in order to make my thinking and my body correspond. We shall see what we shall see.

I have very mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand, it clearly has helped some people to succeed at dieting and to lose weight, although there has never been a study on well this works in the long run. (One year is not “the long run”!) On the other hand, I think it promotes some incorrect ideas about what cognitive behavioral therapy is actually for, and what it can accomplish.
In my (informed) opinion, CBT in its original form, as first pioneered by Dr. Aaron Beck, really only works for things like minor depression and adjustment disorders. (Yes, Dr. Beck wrote the foreword, too.) I lead PHP (partial hospitalization groups) for a very large mental health provider. These are designed for people with very serious mental health issues– bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and major depressive disorder.
We use CBT techniques a lot, and it’s true that CBT has been proven to show results for people with these serious mental illnesses. The problem, though, is that the way it works in this context is just not the same as the way it works for people who are, say, depressed because they have specific problems in their lives. This is a really important point, because I think it explains why this diet technique isn’t any more likely to work for most people than any other technique is.
Nobody with minor, low-level depression has a biological need to think negative thoughts or make negative evaluations of situations. So a therapy like CBT, which is designed to correct these types of thoughts because they tend to lead to negative feelings, will work very well. But there is NO psychotherapy– whether it’s CBT or anything else– that will work to control the symptoms of severe and persistent mental illnesses all by itself. The reason is that these symptoms ARE biologically based. It would be considered malpractice for any doctor to use only CBT for these mental illnesses. It can help, but there is just too much of a biological reason why the symptoms are there.
Similarly, people DO have a biological need to eat (quite apart from the whole world of psychosocial reasons why people eat how and as they do.) You just can’t use CBT to control a biological urge. It doesn’t work. If it did, then we wouldn’t need drugs like lithium, Lamictal, and Seroquel. But trust me, we do! Some people with mental illnesses really are able to control them with therapies like CBT for a limited amount of time. A good example is a bipolar woman who becomes pregnant and can’t take her normal medications. CBT can work in the short term to control her symptoms. (I have to be honest, though– I’ve never actually seen this work very well at all.) But in the long run, it just doesn’t happen. I have to say it– I just plain don’t believe that this diet works in the long run any more than any other diet does, except for a very small number of people. And I’m afraid that it provides the same setup for failure and self-hatred as all the other diets do. That’s my .02 cents, and I’m sticking to it!
