Eating healthier food and engaging in exercise are critical to success. It reminds me of the story about the man who goes to the doctor complaining of a sore arm. The doctor asks him what the problem seems to be and the gentleman explains that he feels a great deal of pain every time he raises his arm above his shoulder. Even though this will eliminate the pain, it is not very helpful information. The reason that this is not very helpful is , it addresses the symptom only and ignores the problem completely .
People trying to lose weight often find themselves in the same situation.
This advice, well intended as it may be, also speaks only to the symptom, which is overeating, and ignores the problem, which is why they are overeating. Until you learn what interferes with your ability to make healthy and responsible eating decisions, you are not likely to succeed at weight control. To eliminate yo-yo dieting, you must first develop an awareness of why you overeat. The Inner Diet was developed to help you address these questions and finally put you on the road to healthier and more responsible eating. If you're like most overweight people that I speak with, you probably answered yes to all of the above questions.
