The Beck Diet Solution:
Cognitive Therapy
For Permanent Weight Loss

Earn 6 CE/CME Hours
 No wonder people can’t stick to a diet. They have never learned how to change the fundamental way they think about food, eating, and
themselves. They often know what they need to do—but their sabotaging thoughts keep getting in the way. When they experience hunger and craving, they think of their sensations as intolerable. They
rationalize that it’s okay to cheat. When they cheat, they view themselves as helpless failures. They struggle with ideas of unfairness, have rebellious thoughts about structure and restriction, and simply do
not accept the need for lifetime vigilance.
To successfully lose weight and maintain their weight loss, dieters need new effective skills. They have to learn to motivate themselves and build
a sense of self-efficacy as well as to respond to their sabotaging and self-deluding thoughts. People need practical skills to solve eating-related problems such as emotional eating and they need to learn how to self
-monitor, and deal with a variety of psychological issues. And they must understand that keeping the weight off is as important as getting it off.
In this workshop, participants will learn how to help dieters make lifetime changes in their thinking and eating through the application of Cognitive
Therapy skills. Cognitive Therapy is the most highly researched psychotherapy in the world and over 400 randomized controlled trials have demonstrated its efficacy for a wide range of psychiatric disorders
and medical problems with psychological components
Although oriented primarily toward health and mental health professionals, consumers are also invited to attend.
