Book of the Month: Weight Loss for Food Lovers
If you've ever wondered why you just can't stick with a weight loss plan until you reach your ideal weight for life, I'd like to let you know about Weight Loss for Food Lovers by Australian psychiatrist Dr George Blair-West.Dr Blair-West is the Director of Psychophysiology in the Obesity Rehabilitation Unit at Brisbane's RiverCity Private Hospital. For over fifteen years he has specialized in psychotherapy for weight loss; helping people to change by teaching them new ways of thinking and feeling rather than through prescribing drugs.
Of all the books I've read on motivation for weight loss, Dr Blair-West's is my favorite. He combines sound scientific insights from psychotherapy with warm, witty anecdotes to illustrate how your subconscious mind may be sabotaging your weight loss success.
This book will help you break that frustrating cycle of 'clutching defeat from the jaws of success'. As you'll read in my feature article below, one of the concepts in Weight Loss for Food Lovers helped me to shed those last stubborn kilos of excess 'baby fat' two years ago.
In Weight Loss for Food Lovers you will find
- The acid test to tell you if your subconscious mind is ready to let you lose weight
- A simple exercise that will talk to your unconscious mind and help motivate you for weight loss
- Insight into the part of your mind that that doesn't want you to succeed, and how to uncover the modus operandi it uses to sabotage your intentions to lose weight
- Easy ways to put strategic structures in place so that when motivation flounders, your strategic structures will automatically help protect you from sabotage

What our readers say...
"Dear Dr Amanda, Just a quick thank you for sending my parcel. I am totally enjoying reading what you have to say. I am wondering just how many people have 'discovered' you and if they haven't why not? As I mentioned to you briefly the other day, I have been through Fit for Life, Pritikin, Weight Watchers, Too Good To Be True and Tony Ferguson's diets and have eventually put a good deal of what I did lose back on. BUT, and this might seem a bit premature, I am SO EXCITED about starting on your 'diet'. I have never read anywhere (and my husband and I have done a great deal of reading about nutrition and weight loss), anything like you are advocating. I understand fully what you are saying and it all makes so much sense. I have never been excited about losing weight before (it has all been in the too-hard-basket) but I really am enjoying following your guidelines. If ever I am asked who I'd vote for as Australian of the Year I'd have to say you. I truly hope that more and more people 'find' you Amanda and that those who have tried and failed at all the other so-called weight loss "experts" have their lives changed and enhanced by your research and advice. Anyway, so much for the quick note! Thanks again Amanda and I congratulate you on your website. It is most informative and very user-friendly! Warm regards, Kaye Frost-Smith PS I have spent all morning making your Cottage Pie, and from licking the spoon it tastes fantastic!"
