Customer Reviews

Think yourself thin!
I'm a great fan of Paul Mckenna and find his hypnosis techniques really do work. I believe that most people are overweight because they've forgotten how to eat - i.e. eat when you're hungry and stop eating when you're full. Many people overeat for emotional reasons, or as a result of strict dieting - which doesn't really encourage you to listen to what your body wants. This book helps you to re-learn those skills and lose weight, without dieting. However, I think the title of the book should be 'Think Yourself Thin' - as you still have to be committed to listening to the CD and following the principles - Paul can't do that for you!

I would recommend this book to anyone who's had enough of dieting and simply wants to re-learn how to eat in response to hunger.

Can reading this book make you thin?
This book claims that it will change your relationship with food and that will ultimately make you thin but of course we all know is that eating less and excercising more will make you thin not reading a book so whats this guys silver bullet. The point is I think that part of loosing weight is about determing the reasons why you are doing it and making sure that you can sustain that weight loss. My doctor told me that less than 10% of people who loose weight keep it off so its true that the long term solution is as important as the hunger pangs and gym time. The two main aspects of the plan are firstly only eat when you are hungry and secondly positive thinking and reinforcement of positive messages - which I found the most interesting as it encourages you to turn any negative idea or thought into something positive so mental as well as physical gymnastics. The book itself contains 90 pages and on the left hand side there is a daily idea from our mentor, for example, taking the time to think positively about some part of yourself. On the right hand side is a daily checklist and space to put in some comments to two questions a) One positive thing I noticed today and b) What I'm looking forward to tomorrow. The checklist asks if you have if you have moved your body, drank lots of water, eaten only when you are hungry, looked in the mirror and thought about how great you. The second key to this plan or idea is only eat what you want and only eat when you are hungry. The idea being not to enter into a negative cycle of deprevation but embracing what you like eating but only eat when you need to and as much as you need. All these ideas are great and important to long term success. I also find that writing in a journal and having checkpoints is a good way to keep on track. But whether any diet works is up to you not the author, so the book is a tool to help you as an overweight individual feel more positive about yourself, more committed to a diet and build a long term sustainable relationship with food. So did it work for me? well it helped me think about why I was dieting and the postiive thinking was a very good excercise which I much appreciated and I honestly did change some things in my relationship with food such as only eating at the table - not in front of the TV and to think about the enjoyment of food rather than using it as a comfort blanket and I started doing more sport - I do however admit that although I kept on the diet I gave up with the journal after around 1.5 months as the daily questions are the same but ever so often I go back and have a peek.

this is it!
i loved this book and still love it. i was a size 12 and now a size 1o.i lost 2 stone and not too slowly. i wasnt fat but i was a overeater.i now no im at a weight thats obviously right for me. it look me a while not to question how little i was eating in comparison,but i dont question a thing now. i listen to my body i eat anything i want,pizza to vegtables.its so refreshing and if i go out for meal i eat only what i want and dont mind wasting food,as eating eat if not hungry is alot higher price to pay.i do tend to only order a main course and can have a steter after if still hungry. i feel great and free in my mind as im peacful with food, and in the begining i do have moments where i just wanted to eat for sake of it ,but i ask myself' why? ,what will this achieve>?.its great.it works i will never diet again.and as it is not a diet so if fits any situation,you dont have to worry that you may be under or overeating and so therefore its just natural
