Eat It Later: Mastering Self Control & The Slimming Power Of Postponement

Alvear proposes a different route to eating less. Rather than counting calories or following a meal plan, the reader learns to manage cravings. Drawing on the methods used to help people withdraw from drugs, the book shows how to loosen one's dependence on problem foods such as sugar, salty snacks, fries and fatty treats. It also takes on drinks like coffee and energy drinks. The approach concentrates on self-control, using strategies that psychologists and researchers have studied, and aims for lasting weight loss without a conventional diet. Each chapter addresses a different craving and offers practical steps for changing daily habits.
