This cognitive therapy-based program offers a structured approach to weight management, emphasizing the identification and modification of unhelpful thoughts and behaviors related to eating. It provides practical tools and techniques, including keeping a food diary and developing problem-solving skills, to help individuals gain control over their eating habits.
This approach aims to empower individuals to become their own therapists, fostering long-term lifestyle changes rather than relying on restrictive diets. Its focus on addressing the underlying psychological factors contributing to weight issues distinguishes it from traditional diet plans. Originally published in the late 1990s, this program has gained recognition for its potential to help individuals achieve sustainable weight loss and improve their relationship with food.
