    About this audiobook

    Have you tried every diet or weight loss plan under the sun, but still can't manage to lose weight and keep it off? You aren't alone. Each year, Americans spend billions of dollars on weight-loss products, yet we continue to have the highest obesity rate in the world. After trying and failing countless times, you have to begin to wonder. What am I doing wrong?

    The problem with most fad diets is that they only attack the symptom of the problem, not the cause. No matter how much you try to deny yourself the food you crave, you always end up reverting back to bad habits. You might even lose weight initially, but more often than not you'll gain it back with a couple extra pounds to boot! In order to make real change in your life, you need to change the way you think about food, weight, and what's most important to you.

    The Diet Trap offers proven-effective methods based in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you develop mindful eating habits, self-compassion, and a greater understanding of what it means to live a valued life. ACT is a values-based therapy that has been proven effective for the treatment of weight loss. Because ACT encourages you to accept and experience uncomfortable emotions rather than succumb to emotional eating it helps you to stay on your path to lose weight, while also helping you develop compassion toward yourself, no matter how much you weigh.

    Written by two researchers in the field of ACT, this audiobook offers evidence-based solutions to help you fundamentally change the way you think about food, so that you can successfully lose weight, get healthy, and live a happy, fulfilling life without costly and frustrating fad diets.

      This is NOT A DIET BOOK. This is a psychology book designed to help people get off the dieting yo-yo cycle and live vital, fulfilling lives in alignment with their values and what is important to them. If your struggles with negative feelings and self-talk based upon your weight have dominated your thinking and stopped you from living your life properly, this book strives to give you the tools and journaling exercises to help you reassess, reframe and enjoy life regardless of those feelings and thoughts. I have found it incredibly helpful in working through my problems from a psychological standpoint and adjusting my behaviours to focus on what is important to me, rather than my weight. I'm positive the long term outcome will be happiness and natural weight loss and control as the short term effects have been a real shift in my mindset. Highly recommended.

      How many books have been written about diet? But still there are so many obese people. This book is not the greatest diet book out there. But it has a lot of useful information that will certainly benefit people's health
