Mind games are illustrated to promote mental adherence to the particular diet being used. While no specific diet is offered, basic nutrition facts are discussed repeatedly. Overweight, compulsive eating, and corrective approaches are considered, as well as potential impediments to effective weight loss and weight control (e.g., salad dressings, alcohol, cafeteria desserts). Special attention is also given to supermarket shopping, holiday dinners, restaurant dining, snacking, exercise, weight control when quitting smoking, table techniques, and psychological adjustment once slenderness has been attained.
