The Bestselling Author of Finding Your Own North Star
Reveals How to Change the Way You Eat, Four Days at a Time
Everyone knows how to lose weight: eat less, move more. But so many dieters who know what to do still don't do what they know. Why not? Because they don't understand the brain-body dynamics of weight loss. Now, cutting-edge research has revealed that millions of dieters following typical weight loss programs are actually programming themselves to get fatter.
In The Four-Day Win, Harvard-trained Oprah Magazine columnist Martha Beck, Ph.D., reverses this trend and teaches dieters to get lean from the brain outward. The Four-Day Win tells how to reverse the brain-body programming that makes you fat, so you can create a new, leaner and healthier body . . . for good. As empathetic and funny as she is informative, Martha Beck observes that:
- Traditional dieting relies on the ability to go numb or to override physical and emotional feelings.
- Overeating is a self-calming compulsion similar to OCD -- dieters turn to food (and lots of it) when they're deprived of comfort.
- Overweight people can reverse the brain-body programming that is making them fat. Instead of attacking their bodies, they can learn to support them.
Dr. Beck helps you to think thin and end your compulsion to overeat, and includes a Jump-Start weight-loss program that will help you shed pounds in the best way, both psychologically and physically. An inspiring and enlightening challenge to everything you think you know about losing weight, The Four-Day Win provides you with an easy and fail-proof way to change your life.

I fell in love with Martha Beck when I read ADAM. What a depth experience that is and "I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' babies." If she can take me to that light-filled place where ADAM lay, then I can trust her to take me to that light-filled place where JUDY can finally come forth. Happy Birthday, Judy (November lst)

It is a well written book that combines tongue in cheek humour with common sense to help anyone lose weight. The steps are easy and although sometimes silly, the author acknowledges the silliness. The amazing thing is that it works!!

I think this book has some wonderful ideas about re-wiring your brain to eat better and not be consumed by poor eating habits. I highly recommend!
Be aware, this is not a diet, this is a book on behavior modification so that the diet you choose has a fighting chance of working :) In this respect, I think it is great for anyone to read who has bad habits since the skills outlined in the book could be used for anything you do that you'd like to change.

Truly a tool of invoking personal change and transformation.
NOT 'Another Diet Book'.

Took Martha Beck's Four Day Win to a week-long writer's conference on the coast. After two days, I was getting so much from the book I ditched the conference and took to the beach. For five days I read and wrote and listened to the seagulls. The exercises in the book were easy, and her sly writing made me laugh out loud every paragraph or two. (Rather like a sunburned crazy bag-lady.) Came out of the week stepping light, feeling free, and writing like crazy.
I recommend everyone take Martha Beck on vacation (if even to the coffee shop). You will have fun, find peace, and come back a lighter person.
