The book "The Beck Diet Solution: Train Your Brain to Think Like a Thin Person" describes Dr. Judith Beck's technique for weight loss, which she developed as a cognitive behavioral therapist treating patients trying to lose weight. Beck's key points for weight loss involve building the psychological tools dieters need to make different and better decisions about what they eat. She employs the use of mental exercises to help dieters change the way they think about eating and food. Beck's diet contains a six week detailed meal plan but also encourages dieters to change their entire approach to eating, exercise, and weight loss.
