I’ll admit, I’m not big on formal diets and rigid approaches to diet and exercise, (probably because I have been blessed with genetics that have let me get away with never having to adhere strictly to a diet in order to maintain my weight), but I do recognize the need some of you have for that kind of structure.

For that reason, I’ve got the perfect book recommendation for you! The reason I’m a big fan of this book is because I am a big believer in the mind-body connection, and this book emphasizes the important connection between the two.

The Complete Beck Diet For Life book is a great read for anyone who wants to learn skills to address some of the mental motivations behind your eating habits. You will learn cognitive therapy skills that just may be what has been the missing link in your current approach to weight loss.

This is not the typical weight loss/dieting book, though. Beck’s approach involves efforts that involve a dieter to do some prep work which will help them along the way. This may not be the quick fix approach that many dieters would like, but if you are really wishing to learn skills that will extend beyond just the next few weeks, that you can incorporate into your relationship with food for the long haul, this may just be the book you need!
