Product Description

This work presents a breakthrough system that transforms your relationship with food. As anyone who has ever been on a diet knows, they simply don't work. No one can diet indefinitely and, once you stop, the weight simply piles back on. "Eating Less" is not about dieting; instead, it places the emphasis where it belongs, on healthy eating and eating less. This revised and updated edition offers you a unique and inspiring solution to overeating: its aim is to look at thoughts and beliefs about food, unravel the mind's addictive impulses, and retrain it to have a more healthy, balanced relationship with food. It introduces you to practical techniques that you can apply in your daily life; it shows you how to set your own limits without feeling deprived and becoming rebellious; and it gives you the ability to develop greater control by helping you to overcome addictive behaviour. So simply follow "Eating Less" and see your weight fall off and stay off. ""Eating Less" is likely to succeed where diet books fail. The utter simplicity of its message and techniques makes it easy to start and continue with a programme that revolutionises your attitude to eating and weight." - Sarah Litvinoff. Gillian Riley is an addiction counsellor and runs the extraordinarily successful Full Stop course for those who want to give up smoking and "Eating Less" courses for those who want to take control of addictive eating. Her sell-out courses drew the attention of the world-renowned health retreat - Ragdale Hall - who Gillian now works for in addition to her private client work. Gillian lives in Leicestershire and teaches throughout the UK and Ireland.

Customer Reviews

No Hype, a 'be here now' approach using common sense
I read the book and found it refreshingly different, and it rightfully points out that it is no good blaming other people or events in childhood for over-eating, because you can't change that, you can only change yourself NOW, and take responsibility for doing so (easier said that done).
Gillian explains how overeating is due to an addictive desire, and describes a technique that enables you to see the reason for the addiction with such clarity, that using her technique you learn that we always have a choice, to be healthy or eat addictively and allow the addictive desire to take away our free will and choice. The right choice will lead to a higher self esteem, and a healthy, energetic addictive free person.
Her writing style is perfect, very easy to read and re read.
She is without a doubt way ahead of the field.
I have been searching for a solution to my addiction to food for 30 years, and this is 'it'.
I highly recommend you read this book if you have problems with Eating Disorders or compulsive eating.
