Philadelphia, PA-NJ (1888PressRelease)
August 05, 2008 - With the simultaneous increase in the popularity of going on a healthy diet and the number of unhealthy food selections, it is reasonable why many weight watchers are having difficulties maintaining a nutritious diet.
Award-winning Dr. Melinda Blackman, who is also a university professor of psychology, explains in detail the mental processes that are invaluable in the success of pursuing a healthy eating lifestyle in her book, Mind Your Diet.
Blackman highlights that, ”our eating preferences and behavior are being manipulated to a large extent by marketing gurus and the mass media”. She further supports her claim by pointing out the fact that, next to Santa Claus, McDonald’s is the most popular icon for the children of today.
This self-published book provides insights on existing marketing schemes that impede our attempts on sustaining a certain diet plan and how to avoid these cunning ploys by using the right psychological methods in order to maintain a healthy existence.
The DIET (Do I Eat This?) wristband concept is also introduced in this Xlibris release. This effective tool will help readers remember the psychological guiding principles that are proposed in this book.
Mind Your Diet comes highly recommended to those whose aspirations include living a healthy and hearty lifestyle that will sustain for years to come.
