[.ca] Change Your Mind, Change Your Weight (ISBN 1579510604)

Okay book - unbelievably poorly edited:
I bought D'Agostino's book, "Living La Vita Dolce," and loved her style so much that I sought out "Change Your Mind, Change Your Weight." The information in the book is nothing new but her style is engaging and she emphasizes how important it is to get your brain involved before you even attempt to change your body weight. Having said that I would have a hard time recommending this book to a friend because it is difficult to read - typographical mistakes and grammatical errors truly distract from the information. I am not talking about one or two errors throughout the whole book. An example is a section title in bold print, "The Weight-Loss Maize." Ronin Publishing, Inc. has failed this author miserably. Buy the book for the motivation it provides but be prepared to shake your head at the poor quality.

A wonderful find for the struggling dieter:
This joyous book offers the dieter and would-be dieter a specific psychological plan for managing his or her thoughts, moods,and behavior in a way that helps him or her start and stick with a diet and overcome backsliding. Complex cognitive-behavioral concepts interwoven in the text are presented in a simple, comprehensible, accessible fashion, helping the dieter take control of his or her food intake and develop a life-long healthy relationship with food and eating. Useful tips come tumbling down throughout as Dr. Mautner becomes your guide and companion in the difficult but doable task ahead. I know this book worked for me. Two chapters into it and I stopped eating at night and between meals, and felt good about myself and my accomplishment. If you are struggling with losing weight, don't miss this. Highly recommended.
