From her own struggles with food addiction, hypnotherapist Greenberg (The Right Weight) developed a program for breaking physical and emotional dependence on sugar, carbohydrates and caffeine. An ordained minister and founder of Wellness Seminars, Greenberg has used her techniques in hospitals and corporate settings to help people lose weight and stop smoking. Here, she guides readers through exercises to uncover negative beliefs, strengthen intention, gain awareness of individual foods' effects on the body and develop a healthy lifestyle. To rid the body of addictive substances, lessen withdrawal symptoms, naturally boost energy and impart inner calm, she recommends a two-week cleansing emphasizing vegetable juices; balanced, whole meals consisting of complex carbohydrates, animal protein and healthy fats; deep breathing; and movement. Affirmations, visualization and self-hypnosis are used to recognize deeper needs that readers may be trying to meet with food. People who feel trapped in compulsive food behaviors will benefit from Greenberg's minute examination of the subconscious roots of addiction. (July)
