The Alpha Solution for Permanent Weight Loss: Harness the Power of Your Subconscious Mind to Change Your Relationship with Food--Forever

This book is very unique compared to other diet books, I'm surprised it hasn't done better. Get a PR person for crying out loud! He could have sold this has a ebook and made a fortune.

There are so many books and plans out there on weight loss and proper eating. A person can easily become confused. Living here in Alaska, I've learned how the extreme cold and darkness of winter can make weighty foods like chocolate almost irrestible. And there is nothing like a big pizza or Calzone after a below zero walk with our two Greenland Huskies. Now there's a new way, which helps us attack our poor eating habits ---through self-hypnosis. The author works healthy weight loss through the brain, rather than the stomach. Our minds can become so accustomed to late night snacks, for example, when we become fearful, or find it difficult to sleep. Dr. Glassman said he himself had such habits and was quite overweight, but ultimately lost 100 pounds through working out what he calls "a healthy eating mind." Briefly, he advises recording two personalized scripts on a CD or casette (if you still have one those antique recording devices). And then playing them at night when we lie down to go to sleep. The recordings identify the food issues we need to overcome. It is diffucult for me to see any part of me ever satisfied with a lot less chocolate, but I'd like to give this system a try. He recommends that any person using this approach check it out with their doctor, but says that hypnosis in general is as safe as daydreaming. It would be nice to shed some pounds. Maybe then I'll be better able to keep up with our lean and speedy Huskies! Earl
