About this listen
Learn the unique method that has helped thousands to successfully lose weight and control their weight since its first publication in 2009. Here, you'll learn how to achieve permanent weight loss with methods that are spreading all over the world, heralded by doctors as "revolutionary", "better than medications or weight loss surgery", "profoundly practical" and "better than any other systematic approach", and described by clients as "a miracle". However, if you are looking for a way to avoid the reality that we have to eat less to lose weight permanently or a way to fool the unchangeable laws of the physical sciences, you'll have to give that up. Rather than learning how to lose weight without changing yourself, it teaches you the psychotherapeutic methods to master self-change and solve your weight problem for good. The Anderson Method was developed by Licensed Behavior Therapist William Anderson, who had been an overweight dieting failure for 25 years before he found this answer and lost 140 pounds permanently. He has maintained an ideal 180 pounds for 30 years now. He has helped thousands to succeed with permanent weight loss in his private practice and network of therapists, and now, with this book, tens of thousands more have succeeded by applying what they've learned at home, with this easy-to-hear self-help book, now also available as an audiobook.
"Bill Anderson is a wonder. He summarizes and clarifies diet issues so clearly and well. Anyone serious about health and weight management needs to read The Anderson Method." (Allen E. Ivey, EdD, ABPP, distinguished professor (emeritus), University of Massachusetts, Amherst; courtesy professor, University of South Florida, Tampa)
"Revolutionary. The Anderson Method is a profoundly practical book. If you need to lose significant weight, I highly recommend this book." (Robert Pretlow, MD, pediatrician; obesity researcher, Childhood Obesity News)
"I have seen more weight loss and lasting success in patients using The Anderson Method than with any other treatment. It is far superior to medications, diets or surgery - an entirely different approach." (Mark Lupo, MD, president, Academy of Clinical Thyroidologists)

The traditional approach to weight loss focuses only on the body - calories in versus calories out - like it's a separated mechanism, in this audiobook, we suggest a different, unconventional approach - a holistic one. If you want to Become & Stay Fit Forever, you should begin from the inside and attach the best practice of weight loss for you. We suggest a universal cure for many problems, including weight, finding inner peace. Once you are happy, calm, mindful, balanced, and satisfied, the healthy lifestyle and weight will follow as a natural consequence of your mindset.

Intuitive eating is a new way of life. It doesn’t begin with a list of rules, restrictions, and guides to follow. Nor does it require you to stock up on a new group of supplements, specific food items, or "lose weight quick" guides. The psychological impact of intuitive eating is powerful. It aims to remove the barriers of foods you eat versus foods you are not permitted to have and puts the decision-making in your mind and body.

Story
For decades, the society’s notion of a perfect body has forced millions of people to follow different kinds of diets. These diets are either for weight gain or weight loss. However, both include following a set pattern for eating. These eating patterns are about cutting off nutrient-dense food groups, crunching on calories rather than meals, and depriving oneself of food. Such eating patterns lead to guilt, bingeing, emotional eating, and negative body image. The audiobook, Intuitive Eating, focuses on eating for satisfaction, fullness, and nurturing a safe relation with food.

As a pediatrician, Katrina Ubell, MD, always struggled with her weight—she was either 40 pounds overweight, or struggling to lose that weight. Although she'd regularly counsel parents on the importance of keeping their kids healthy and fostering good eating habits, Dr. Ubell, as a busy professional, was never able to do the same for herself. Like everyone else, she tried many different diets and programs, but would always regain the weight.

We don't ask you to analyze your painful past experiences or to examine any personality "flaws" that may have led to your bulimia, as there is no scientific evidence supporting the idea that resolving underlying psychological problems leads to recovery (Walsh & Cameron, 2005). Instead, we give you clear, practical steps to remove your primal hunger, stop bingeing and purging, relearn normal eating, and overcome bulimia for life. You can recover. There is a way.

At times funny, others times starkly serious, David delivers the unvarnished truth about why we overeat in his blunt and fearlessly honest style. He makes the case for how the food and the fitness industries have failed us and how today’s food manufacturers conspire to turn us into addicts by hijacking our minds and decimating our bodies.

I've lost 92 pounds (so far) with this book!
I'm 33 and I've been obese my entire life and never really knew exactly what to do to fix it. I knew about nutrition and that I should eat better, but I always fell back on my old habits. Now I'm 92 pounds lighter and no longer obese!
This method teaches you how to change your habits to eat the foods you love in a healthy manner. In fact, you have to eat foods you love to succeed at changing your habits. It's surprisingly easy, because you like what you're eating!
People are always worried that I won't be able to eat pizza, cake, or ice cream. My response is always the same: "I can eat whatever I want."
This book will change your life.

Best book and method on losing weight and keeping it off, ever!
Years ago I learned of the book and read it. It is by far the best book of its kind and explains the reality of working to lose and maintain the loss of excess weight. I was working the method with success and got into a near fatal accident. Upon recovering I gained even more weight, and went to a specialist for nutrition and weight loss at a top medical center to realize I just needed to cut calories so I'm back doing the Anderson Method. I bought this audiobook to keep me on track. I'm happy to say I've lost 28 pounds in several months, finally, and still going, as I have quite a lot to lose. Thank you so much for your book, your method, and your work. If you do the work, it works!

Excellent
Best book I’ve read on losing weight, how to do it, and addressing the emotional stuff. This is a ‘no BS’, nutshell. My hardest thing is the emotional issues and feeling like I am doing it right or wrong, and it being an overload to think I can lose weight. I needed his clear, no nonsense direction. Helped me get the right perspective and let go of the perfection and get the right mindset.

Slow Reading, Unrealistic Starvation Diet
