How Effective is it?
Scientific results document the dramatic and lasting changes that the Solution produces - all without diets or drugs. The study finds weight-loss can be maintained, 82% of the subjects - lost weight and maintained loss after 2 years. Published in The Journal of American Dietetic Association.
What is the Solution?
The Solution produces lasting weight loss without diets or drugs by equipping us with two powerful internal skills, self-nurturing and effective limits, two "mind" skills that are at the roots of all human
behavior. What’s more, the skills are developmental, once learned, we have them for life. Four other skills naturally follow – "two body" skills called "body pride" and "good health", and the two "life skills of "balanced eating" and "mastery living". Best of all, food and weight stop being issues in people’s lives. They are finally free!
What are the skills?
The nurturing skills we master ask three powerful questions: "How do I feel?" "What do I need?" and "Do I need support?" The limit-setting skills ask three important questions: "Are my expectations reasonable?" "Is my thinking positive and powerful?" "What is the essential pain and the earned reward?" These skills create emotional balance, which causes the drive to overeat to fade.
Why Does it Work?
The brain has three major aspects: the stem, limbic brain and the neocortex. It is the limbic brain that governs our most primitive drives, food, love and comfort. Self help, deep insights and inspirational ideas reach the neocortex and do not change behavior. The Solution skills reach the emotional brain and as they are used repeatedly, reprogram our neural pathways.
Where Did it Come From?
Laurel Mellin, M.A., R.D. is an associate clinical professor of family and community medicine at the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine, where she developed this revolutionary program for adults and the Shapedown Program for Children and Adolescents, which she placed in 400 hospitals. She has appeared on countless Television shows, and twice on Oprah.
These dynamic two hour specials will present practical demonstrations of these skills in the common stressful situations we all face. Viewers will see precisely how they can use these simple skills in their own
lives to end cravings and inner chaos and to bring them immediate and profound balance in mind, body and spirit.
