Summary of Judith S. Beck's The Beck Diet Solution

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The Beck Diet Solution is a six-week program that teaches you a different psychological skill every day to help you achieve your weight-loss goals. It doesn’t include a diet plan, but it teaches you all the skills you need to be able to stick to any nutritious diet of your choice, and to lose excess weight and keep it off for your lifetime.

#2 The first few days or weeks of your diet are relatively easy, so you naturally believe that eating less, resisting cravings, and handling hunger will always be easy. But eventually, it will become more difficult for you to stick to your plan and say no to some of your favorite foods.

#3 You will need to learn how to respond to your thoughts in order to lose weight and keep it off. For example, you might have thoughts like, I don’t want to do that, or, I don’t have to do that. It’s important to recognize and address these thoughts so that you’re motivated to do what’s needed to lose weight and keep it off.

#4 If you’re still not convinced that you need skills to lose weight, consider this analogy: imagine if you had unrealistic expectations of yourself when it came to playing tennis. You might expect yourself to be able to figure out how to play on your own, and if that didn’t happen, you’d get upset and think there was something wrong with you.
