Eat It Later: Mastering Self Control & The Slimming Power Of Postponement
“A wellness strategy that changes the way you think about food. Alvear’s writing style and the structure of his book make for an easy read and, more importantly, easy use in daily life.†-- Kirkus Reviews
Painlessly Reduce The Amount Of Food You’re Eating. Psychologists use Systematic Desensitization and Habituation to get people off Vicodin and Xanax. Imagine how well they work on chips and cookies.
• Control Your Cravings With Delayed Gratification Techniques That Teach Discipline Without Suffering. Based on famed psychologist Walter Mischel’s “Marshmallow†experiments, they will painlessly help you master self-control and help you reach your diet and weight loss goals.
• Eat Healthier Without Forcing Yourself To Eat What You Don’t Like. Use the “Nutrilicious†concept to make healthier choices without sacrificing taste or preferences.
This weight loss book is about how I lost 14 pounds and 2 waist sizes and kept it off for 25 years without ever going on a diet. Inspired by Walter Mischel’s iconic The Marshmallow Test, I’ll show you a science-based weight loss plan that uses not a diet guide but a psychological approach to painlessly reducing the amount of food you eat. It chronicles how I did it and lays out a plan for how you can too.
Learn Techniques For Eating Less Without Feeling Deprived. Today, I don't eat three Oreos at a sitting and force myself from the table, biting my fist and longing for the 16 I used to eat. I am as satisfied with three as I used to be with 16. Habituation, desensitization and delayed gratification techniques stopped my mindless eating and painlessly “shrank†my stomach so that I could eat much smaller portions without feeling cheated or deprived. That’s the kind of dieting guide that results in permanent weight loss.
Like most people, I thought, “eating in moderation†was code for “you’ll never feel full again.†I thought portion control meant pain management. I thought volume reduction meant perpetual dissatisfaction. I was wrong. If you make the kind of tiny, systematic reductions I show you in this book, your body will adapt to the new normal without any pain or suffering.
Learn The Keys To Self-Control. You are not going to get a list of foods to eat or avoid. Or recipes or meal suggestions. I am not going to ask you to count calories, fat, carbs or sugar. I am not going to propose some wild new theory about weight gain. I am simply going to show you how to permanently change the amount of food you eat. And to do it with strategies identified by researchers and psychologists as the keys to self-control—habituation, systematic desensitization and delayed gratification techniques.
Ever Finish A Bagel And Say, “Why Did I Eat It–I Wasn’t That Hungry?†That’s because you don’t have a weight loss guide/awareness that separates no/low cravings from high cravings. Eat It Later shows you mindful eating techniques that take about 3 seconds to separate low from medium and high cravings.
Say Goodbye To Will Power Fatigue. Most lose weight books force you to white-knuckle your way through 5-alarm cravings
and leave the table feeling hungry and deprived. But with habituation, desensitization and delayed gratification techniques you never experience will power fatigue because there is nothing to be fatigued about—you will have what you like but through an intuitive eating mindset.
