thintuition conclusion

Helping others to manage their weight is my life's mission. In the course of pursuing it, I've had to give a lot of thought to the question of what "help" consists of. The last thing this world needs is one more blowhard posing as a weight loss expert. The problem for most overweight Americans is too much information, not too little of it. What most people seem to need, as they work on developing their thintuition, is support in unlearning, in forgetting or ignoring all the misleading ideas they've already absorbed until now. Many also find they need social support. The two needs are linked. The culture relentlessly bombards us with unhelpful ideas about food, weight, and health, and many of these ideas carry a powerful emotional charge. No sooner do you resolve to eat what you really want then you switch on the TV and hear that what you really want to eat will make you fat or sick. You can't help but feel anxious, mistrustful of your own desires. Or, just when you've resolved to give up dieting for good, you hear of some new diet that's producing spectacular results, based on some new scientific theory that sounds really persuasive. Your hopes stirred, you consider for the umpteenth time that maybe dieting does work, maybe you've just never been on the right diet. How can your hard-won common sense compete with all this relentless propaganda, especially when everyone around you seems to believe it? To connect with people who think like you do can be a big help in resisting the insanity of the larger culture. Join us at thintuition.com.
