Complete Becks Diet For Life Review

What You Should Know

The Beck Diet for Life was developed by Dr. Judith Beck. Her goal was not merely to teach people good eating and exercise habits, but to change the way they think about food. Her thought-changing help is called “cognitive therapy.”

Dr. Beck learned cognitive therapy from her father, Aaron Beck, and she is convinced that it is key to successful weight loss. Her Complete Beck Diet for Life book walks dieters through several stages of therapy that will hopefully help those people to think differently about food and thus lose weight.

Dr. Beck’s diet book is available from her website or from most book retailers.

Not applicable – this diet relies more on thinking processes than particular foods or food groups.

Product Features

The main feature of the Complete Beck’s Diet for Life is cognitive therapy. Through this therapy, the dieter is supposed to learn how to change the way he thinks about food, and as a result, lose weight.

Dr. Beck claims that you can still eat all the foods you love, just in proper proportion. Her Complete Beck’s Diet for Life will prepare dieters for tough food situations like holidays, vacation, eating out and parties by building careful thought patterns about food. The plan does deal with calorie control and, like other diets, puts a daily limit on calories around 1500-1800. It also recommends more exercise.

The Complete Beck’s Diet for Life is supposed to last for life. The cognitive therapy doesn’t merely get you to your target weight; it helps you eat right for life.

Pro’s

• This diet is very positive and emphasizes little steps of progress all the way through.
• This plan is flexible and allows the dieter to set his own comfortable speed.
• The thinking changes are claimed to be long-term changes that will keep you healthy long-term.
• The diet deals with real life obstacles to eating right.

Con’s

• The book claims to address the psychology of weight loss, but doesn’t deal with the “why” questions about overeating. It just focuses on dealing with wrong eating.
• The cognitive therapy is somewhat new and untested.
• This plan lacks research.
• There is no guarantee on this plan.
• This plan does not offer success testimonies or pictures.

Conclusion

The Complete Beck’s Diet for Life claims to be a diet for life, but it does not seem to be complete. It gives little attention to eating patterns and exercise. It is a new concept that has yet to be tried and proven.

While cognitive therapy does sound like it would help with long term weight loss, it never promises fast results. If you need a diet with noticeable results quickly, the Complete Beck’s Diet for Life may not be right for you.
