Description

This self-help book is for people who have gained weight because they have lost touch with using natural hunger and fullness signals to guide their eating.
As seen on Channel 4s Dont Diet, Lose Weight', Dr Helen McCarthy shows youhow to relearn to eat in tune with your body, whilst still eating your favourite foods, taking one manageable step at a time. It is the antithesis to going on a diet. It is also the antidote to clean eating, as you eat what you already, and have always, loved instead of a prescribed set of acceptable foods. The unique position of The Appetite Doctors appetite retraining programme is that it bridges biology and psychology and puts the focus on specific habit change, all while taking into account the natural resistance we have to making changes. It teaches you how to work with, not against, your body.
