Over 99% of people who try to lose weight don't succeed. They don't get slender and they don't stay slender long term. The average dieter makes four or five new attempts each year with almost no hope of success. Susan Peirce Thompson suggests that there's something fishy going on here, something important we're not paying attention to. We don't have an obesity problem; we have an obesity mystery--and she has a groundbreaking philosophy to solve that mystery. Rooted in science and psychology, Thompson's book describes how the brain blocks weight loss and then gives us a solution. Eliminate all foods with added sugar. Eliminate all kinds of flour. Eat three meals a day on a regular schedule with no snacking in between. Use a digital scale to monitor quantity of food eaten. Thousands of people have participated in her Bright Line Eating Boot Camps and have used her methods to lose all their excess weight and become happy, thin, and free. Susan Peirce Thompson, Ph.D. is an expert in the psychology of eating. She is the CEO of Bright Line Eating Solutions, a company dedicated to helping people achieve the health and vibrancy that accompany permanent weight loss.
