Taming the Feast Beast - by Jack Trimpey (Paperback)

About the Book

Just in time for New Year's resolutions comes a unique, effective approach to changing our emotions and behavior toward food--a compelling weight control system that works by getting to the root of the problem: the mind.

Book Synopsis

Past experiences, emotional trauma, and "predisposition" don't put on pounds . . . incorrect eating does. Based upon the overwhelmingly successful principles of Rational Recovery Systems, a program that has totally revolutionized the field of addiction care, Taming the Feast Beast shows you how to stop gaining weight by gaining insight into the erroneous beliefs that compel you to eat.

Whatever your present weight, whatever the "reason" for your tendency to gain, you can lose pounds permanently . . . without expensive programs, sponsors, or even the approval of others! Taming the Feast Beast will change the way you think about food forever. It is a bold and transformational guide that gives you the tools to:

- Identify and defeat the inner voice that compels you to overeat
- Maintain your self-esteem, even when you don't maintain your diet
- Dispel the myths of "codependency," "comfort food," and other fallacies that keep you fat
- Lose all the weight you want--without support groups and restrictive diet programs
