The Beck Diet Solution - Days 5 and 6

 The Beck Diet Solution - a 6 week program to reshape your thought process to help you succeed on a diet plan. You build skills that enable you to cope with cravings, stick to your diet plan, deal with stress, eat out successfully and stop binging or overeating.

Day 5 - Eat Slowly and Mindfully

The Beck Diet Solution reminds us that it takes up to 20 minutes for the brain to get the message from the stomach that it's full. In addition to slowing down, the book recomends concentrating on what you are eating in order to increase satisfaction from smaller portions. In the long run it's unrealistic to eat without distractions  but you can practice without distractions at first to learn how to eat mindfully even if you're distracted.

Day 6 - Get a Diet Support Coach

The Beck Diet Solution recommends getting a coach to increase your chances of being successful at weight loss.  The purpose of the coach is to help with motivation, accountability, keeping perspective, giving yourself credit, etc.
