Complete rip-off of 'Diets Don't Work'! (

)

I followed a couple of steps and lost a few pounds, I'm sure if you bothered doing the full wack you'd lose much more. A book that really makes you think. Starving yourself is not the answer! (

Note that the "bad" reviews were by people who did not follow the instructions to their fully. Very few people have the self dissapline to follow these rules.

For example, if you take the time to do the tapping exercise to overcome a craving the craving will have passed. But do anything that takes your mind away for 10 minutes and your monkey mind will tend to forget the craving. As I said, most people don't have the fortitude to actually take McKenna's advise.

I am using some of the tools because they do what I need. The tools I can't bother to use don't seem to work, duh. (

I was given this by my girlfriend about 5 years ago. I read it and tried it. It didn't help me loose weight at the time, but now I have lost the weight it is a helpful way of maintaining that weight. (

First words

How would you like to eat whatever you want whenever you want and still lose weight?

Quotations

Diets are the enemy of weight loss!

"exercise" is simply this: Anything that you do that causes you to breathe more deeply than you normally would and/or causes your heart rate to speed up.

any time you're feeling less than your best, you can give yourself an easy, positive boost by simply taking ten to fifteen minutes of brisk exercise—any movement (including walking) that speeds up your heart rate and gets you breathing more deeply than you are breathing right now.

It really is that simple—if you want to exercise regularly, you must enjoy moving your body, both as you're doing it and after. Until you deliberately root our your negative associations with exercise and install new positive ones, you will continue to tell yourself you "should" do it and beat yourself up for not listening.

It's important to remember that no matter how much you want to change, it will still only happen one day at a time.
