From the Publisher
This newly revised edition of Habits Not Diets by JamesM. Ferguson, MD, and Cassandra Ferguson focuses on changing eating habits as a means of weight control. This sensible approach, developed at Stanford University Medical Center, puts the emphasis on how to eat rather than what. Habits Not Diets uses the cognitive aspects of weight management — including thinking skills, stress management, and problem solving—to help readers analyze individual eating habits, break undesirable patterns, and establish new ones. Over 20 years in print, Habits Not Diets has benefited thousands by sharing the secret to lifetime weight control.
Each easy-to-read chapter contains psychological insights, practical tips and specially-designed worksheets to deal with key aspects of eating behavior.
Step-by-step the authors show readers how to:
· Keep a Food Diary · Take a more active approach to daily life · Differentiate between psychological and physiological hunger · Identify the thoughts and feelings that trigger the desire for food · Reduce reflex response to external food stimuli · Maintain weight loss through self-observation

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
