About the Book
So you thought weight loss was impossible. You've tried everything: pills, shakes, diets, even surgery, but the battle to lose weight seemed like it would never end. Well, not anymore... Now, with "The Solution," Laurel Mellin, a leading expert on weight loss, gives you a proven, scientific and easy method of weight loss that ends the agony of weight problems forever. With 75 percent of Americans overweight -- up from 59 percent just 10 years ago -- "The Solution" gives millions of people the help they need to drop the pounds without relying on willpower or true grit.
"The Solution" operates on one unmistakable principle: Permanent weight loss takes going to the root of the problem. There are six root causes of weight problems: two mind, two body and two lifestyle. Each of the six causes has a corresponding cure, and when all the causes are cured, the weight problem is solved. Powerful drives to overeat and be inactive are quieted, and lifestyle changes are surprisingly easy. Weight loss seems more like an unexpected gift than a hard-earned reward. The six cures are: "Mind Strong Nurturing" enables you to recognize and meet your needs so emotional overeating stops. "Effective Limits" bolster your control to follow through with everything in life, including healthy living. Body "Body Pride" stimulates you to honor and accept your body and yourself. "Good Health" guides you in acquiring optimal personal vitality. Lifestyle "Balanced Eating" is a simple way of eating that brings you both health and pleasure. "Mastery Living" delivers the rewards of an active, fulfilling and restoring lifestyle.
"The Solution" quiets the mind and body drives that are the bedrock ofalmost all human behavior. As a result, using this approach to lose weight can prompt spontaneous improvement in other problem areas such as excessive spending, overworking, drinking and relationship difficulties. Not only are happiness, health and fulfillment enhanced, but a sense of personal renewal and transformation follow.
Laurel Mellin's powerful "six causes, six cures" approach has been developed and successfully tested at the prestigious University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine, and has been lauded by the American Medical Association, the American Dietetic Association, "U.S. News & World Report," "Newsweek" and "Life." Mellin also has appeared on "Oprah," "Today" and "Donahue" to talk about her revolutionary program.
At long last, "The Solution" is available for adults outside the hospital setting. Dietitians and physicians from coast to coast have been inspired by Laurel Mellin's practical, empathetic and powerful approach. Now, "The Solution" spreads the good word to everyone and promises to solve the weight problems of millions.
