A search of Amazon for 'diet books' turns up 40,000 responses. Not one of those books has been able to stem the tide of suffering caused by chronic use of processed foods. Further, the evidence is that these books have made addiction to processed foods more severe.
However, clients can become very attached to dieting. Even though it's stressful, clients can be afraid to abandon dieting because it's been their only hope for attaining a 'normal' body shape.

Abandoning an approach that they've put tremendous amount of effort into over their lifetimes can be difficult. In this course, you the practitioner will be empowered to lead your clients out of the pain of dieting, and into the safety of recovery from processed food addiction.
Learn how the diet industry promoted diet-cycling to keep clients in the market for diet products and services.
Most importantly, learn the five specific arguments that will persuade clients about the hidden consequences of dieting. Find out how to support clients in avoiding dieting for their whole life spans.
Sample Lesson Topic:
Emerging research shows that dieting is a precursor for bingeing. Repeated episodes of dieting in terms of calorie restriction appears to gradually strengthen the reptilian brain in its conviction that there is not enough food available. As the reptilian or survival brain gains more control, it's simple message is, 'Eat whatever is available. Eat it quickly so no other animals can get it.'
This ancient message is almost a death sentence in westernized cultures where vast quantities of harmful processed foods are available. The survival brain joins the addicted limbic system to drive the client deeper and deeper into bingeing and its devastating consequences.
With this explanation, practitioners can relieve clients of the guilt over their inability to stop bingeing as well as their sense of failure over dieting disasters. At the same time, practitioners can offer new hope for leaving terrifying episodes of out-of-control bingeing in the past.
