The Four Day Win

A review of the book subtitled “End your diet war and achieve thinner peace”. By Martha Beck, PhD

Here is a fresh outlook on dieting. If you are ready for a different approach to losing weight – you are going to love this book.

This book captivated me right from the front flap: “Everyone knows how to lose weight: eat less, move more. But though they know what to do, millions of dieters don’t do what they know. Why not? Because they don’t understand the brain body dynamics of weight loss.”

That is what this book is about – understanding the brain-body dynamics of weight loss. The author teaches you to get thin from the brain outward.

This very thorough book is separated into 7 stages:

Stage 1: Pre-contemplation.

Stage 2: Contemplation

Stage 3: Preparation

Stage 4: Action

Stage 5 Maintenance

Stage 6 Relapse

Stage 7 Celebration

This book is full of cool exercises and facts that you won’t find in most diet books. One example is the “Polar bear effect” which is an Harvard experiment applied to your average diet – in other words – what you resist persists.

I also loved the fact that the author provides a simple test which will tell you your diet profile. From your diet profile you will be given advice on how to move forward which include books and weight loss systems that will benefit you the most. But do not worry – the author does not just label you and send you on your way. I only use that reference as a mere sampling of how this book will help you get to know yourself.

I think most anyone will benefit from reading this book. However, if you have tried every diet on the market and still are trying to lose weight – this book is a must read. Be prepared to think in a different way on your journey to “thinner peace”.

 I wish for you the best of health!
