CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for weight loss:

This course will use CBT theory and techniques to help you loose weight, and keep it off.

If you have tried many diets before but found it difficult to stay motivated; if after a few weeks you give up and gain most or all of the weight you lost back on, this course is for you. We will show you how to stay motivated, stop that inner sabotaging voice, deal with triggers and emotional eating and give you nutritional guidelines that will keep you full and stop cravings.

The CBT Approach
How we think has a huge influence on how we feel and ultimately goes on to affect what we do and how things are going to turn out for us. In this way, how you think affects how you eat.

It is not just the situations you find yourself in, or the things that happen to you, that determine how you feel and react. It is how you perceive, or evaluate, those situations. Think about how empowering this is! If we can learn to think differently, we can interpret situations realistically and helpfully!

Then we change how we feel, how we behave, and how we eat.

Thinking and Eating…They’re Related!
Any realistic diet will work as long as you have the right attitude, which is where CBT for weight loss can benefit. The CBT for weight loss programme can help you to choose appropriate foods and use suitable eating behaviours. These will become consistent and permanent by learning to make long-lasting changes to the way that you think.

Research shows that the most effective weight loss programmes are more than simple diets. Successful programmes combine diet, exercise, and psychological intervention. Further recent research emphasises that including a psychological element considerably improves the results.

CBT is more effective than diet and exercise regimes on their own because it works at the underlying core issues which perpetuate these gain loss cycles. By treating the underlying causes of these patterns clients are appreciably less prone to relapse.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for Weight Loss is very different from other attitudes and programmes to weight loss. It is a psychological programme and not a food plan. You are not told what to eat but can select your own nutritional diet (we however have our own in-house advice which can assist in this regard).
