Woman, Food and God by Geneen Roth to be readdressed on  Oprah, Monday July 11, 2010.

Oprah again talks about why she will never diet again!

Early in the history of this blog we covered Paul McKenna’s 4 rules for losing weight and keeping it off.  They were:

  1. Eat when you are hungry
  2. Eat consciously
  3. Eat what you want
  4. Stop when you are full

In a recent recording posted on Oprah’s page, Geneen Roth walked us through 7 Guidelines that will lead us to losing weight and keeping it off.   Simply stated they are:

  1. Eat when you are hungry (body hunger)
  2. Eat sitting down in a calm environment
  3. Eat without distraction
  4. Eat what your body wants
  5. Stop when you are full
  6. Eat with the intention of being in full view of other people
  7. Eat with enjoyment

So do we need the additional three?  Who knows.  To me, Roth’s 2, 3 and 7 are included in McKenna’s 2 (I Can Make You Thin).  Number 6, is a new twist.  McKenna focues on changin our  self-image, learning self-acceptance and love but those covered in much more detail in his self-hynopsis recordings.  It can’t hurto to bring them up here unless we fixate on what other’s are thinking about us and lose tract of the self-acceptance part and it becomes a hindrance instead of a help.

Which ever writer you prefer, the point is that you can lose weight without fad diets and killer workout programs by learning to listen to your body and love yourself.

Pick up Roth or McKenna’s book now and get started on a great new adventure of being healthy and thin!

Barefoot Sun Walking!  Too good to not include.
