Becoming Slender for Life, Second Edition Self-Hypnosis Makes the Difference

Becoming Slender For Life offers a different way to think about weight release and management. Roger Moore suggests healthy eating strategies, with an emphasis on low-fat, high-starch eating. He also recommends reinventing yourself as a flexitarian-someone who is not overly rigid about food choices, and allows for occasional indulgences on holidays, birthdays and so on. And, of course, there is no avoiding the importance of exercise, though he does offer some unconventional ideas about adding more movement to your life. What really separates this diet book from the rest is the addition of self-hypnosis techniques, which are absolutely safe and easy to learn. Using an innovative one-minute exercise, anyone can make time for this powerful component several times a day. Mastering these techniques empowers you to reinforce your healthy new lifestyle habits for the rest of your life, plus you can use these same techniques to makes changes in any other area of your life.Filled with visualization and journal exercises, the book presents a highly practical and fresh approach to a chronic problem.
