Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / April 2008I Can Make You Thin
"I Can Make You Thin." Anybody watching this program on The Learning Channel? I've watched a couple of episodes. The approach is all behavioral--nothing on carb restriction from what I've seen. The host makes liberal use visualization, aversion therapy and paired stimulus. For example, he manages food cravings by having people visualize eating their beloved food covered with worms and hair while pressing their thumb and forefinger on their left hand. So...when the craving happens down the road, the person presses their left hand thumb and forefinger. On the other hand (literally), one imagines their favorite place while they press their thumb and forefinger on their right hand. He uses this cue when they eat broccoli, for example. He also advises the usual strategies of putting the fork down between bites, or using small plates, etc. None of these strategies work as well as avoiding fast carbs, IMHO. I could never make behavioral techniques work in the long run while eating burgers and fries. No fork! No plate! Smells of burgers and fries easily overcome any mental tricks. > "I Can Make You Thin." Anybody watching this program on The Learning > Channel? > > I've watched a couple of episodes.

Getting myself to eat at all is more of a problem and watching him say that just put my appetite even more off! > He also advises the usual strategies of putting the fork down between > bites, or using small plates, etc. I've head of that stuff before, but... My problem is not overeating. In fact I consume only about 1/2 of the calories I am supposed to, to maintain my weight. One would think I would be losing. But, not at the moment. > None of these strategies work as well as avoiding fast carbs, IMHO. I > could never make behavioral techniques work in the long run while eating > burgers and fries. No fork! No plate! Smells of burgers and fries easily > overcome any mental tricks. Dunno. I was never one to eat burgers and fries. At one time, prior to diabetes, I lost about 30 pounds. I did so on a low fat, vegetarian diet. I ate very little cheese or eggs. It was almost vegan in approach. Mostly vegetables, some fruit, some grains. Kept my calories at or below 1,000 a day and exercised my tail off. It worked! But I felt like crap. I was starving all the time and exhausted. I managed to keep the weight off for a couple of years by continuing to restrict my food, just not quite as much. But then one day I snapped and ate cheese. Lots of cheese! And back to the food I went. I gained it all back and then some. >"I Can Make You Thin." Anybody watching this program on The Learning >Channel?

I believe in visualization, but I'd rather picture myself strong, slender and healthy rather than my favorite foods covered with worms! What's worked for me is following a food plan where I eat healthy and avoid the foods that lead me to "snap" and overeat. Not only do I feel more in control, I've lost 100 pounds! I can easily live this way for the rest of my life.
