Weight Loss and Dieting Tips: Weight Management – A Journey, Not A Destination
Judy Citron, Ph.D., a cognitive psychologist in London, England, and self-confessed “former compulsive eater,” specializes in weight loss counseling, including individual and group coaching. The cover of her recent book, The Little Book of Slimming Tips, boldly proclaims, “You need never go on a diet again.” She means it.“With my approach to weight loss, there is no such thing as ‘a diet,’” she asserted. “My guidelines for losing weight are the same ones individuals will use to direct their eating for the rest of their lives. With these, they will gradually reach a balance where their weight is stabilized because what they’re eating is the right type and amount of food for their needs.”
Citron’s simple rules for weight loss are:
Eat only when you are physically hungry. Never eat standing up. Eat smaller portions. Eat very, very slowly.“This is not a diet, but an anti-diet,” Citron explained. “My clients aren’t on a food-restricted diet, but they lose weight, because their new habits mirror how slim people live. No food is forbidden as long as an individual is physically hungry and eating small portions.”
