Right Weight, Right Mind: The ITC Approach to Permanent Weight Loss
About this book
If you ask any group of people, “Raise your hand if you’d like to lose some weight,” it is always the same-‐ -‐ a majority of hands will instantly reach for the sky. Losing weight is actually not that hard. Most of those who raise their hands have lost weight, some of them many times. You, yourself, have lost weight, haven’t you? Probably many times. The big uncracked problem with weight is not really about how to lose it—but how to keep it off. The average dieter regains 107% of the weight they take off!This is not a diet book. You don’t need another diet book. There are plenty of great diets out there and if you follow them they will all help you lose weight. But none of them will really help you keep the weight off. We are not medical doctors. We are doctors of the mind and we have spent a generation working on just one How do you help people make permanent changes, changes that last, changes that do not, after a while, leave you back where you started?Now that is a really hard problem.The answer to this question, we discovered, is that being able to do what you intend is not primarily a matter of having a big enough pay-‐off, or a great enough sense of urgency. It is primarily about uncovering a hidden mechanism in your mind, which this book will teach you about. Once you know it—and can make concrete, practical use of it-‐-‐you will see before you the bridge from what you want to do to what you can do, and you will be able to walk across this bridge as often as you like.
