Dr. Mirkin first approached the problem of excess weight from the psychological side and in his recommendations takes into account the features characteristic of obese people that interfere with the process of losing weight. For these purposes, he developed an exclusion diet, which combines nutritional and psychological recommendations for weight loss, which allows a person not only to choose the right dietary restrictions for himself, but also to learn how to withstand them. The doctor suggests using simple psychological techniques to overcome the craving for forbidden foods and relieve the emotional stress associated with dietary restrictions. The purpose of this book is to help obese people choose the right eating model for themselves and teach them how to overcome the psychological barriers that arise in the process of losing weight using special formulas of self-hypnosis and self-persuasion. The book gives vivid examples of how people first gain hope and then happiness.
