Good For: Teaching you how to think like a ‘naturally thin person’ – and if the promotion can be believed, for dropping two dress sizes in four weeks.

Overview:

The Slim Girl’s Box of Secrets isn’t really like any other diet or weight loss tool you will have ever been on or used; it doesn’t encourage you to count calories or points, swallow pills or ban food. Instead it pledges to re-programme your mind and body to change your attitude towards food within hours.

The founder of the Slim Girl’s Box of Secrets is Ali Campbell, a professional therapist and master of the somewhat controversial Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). According to him, the system will retrain your body and mind and automatically regulate your food and fat intake; your body will only take in those calories it needs for energy and will compensate for any overindulgence.

The system comes with two DVDs, two CDs and a reference book explaining how everything works; the CDs work by subconsciously programming your mind to modify your attitude and behaviour to food, particularly those patterns of behaviour that resulted in cravings and overeating.

The trick is to modify your reaction to your ‘trigger’ foods – those foods that send you spiralling from your diet or healthy eating plan. Likewise, you will be taught how to only eat when your body is hungry as opposed to eating at pre-determined mealtimes.

Pros:

• No food is off limits: eat what you want when you want.
• If the promises can be believed, you can still enjoy your trigger foods – you’ll just find yourself eating smaller portions with little extra effort. Instead of eating a whole chocolate bar, you will only want to eat one or two pieces.
• Eliminates cravings.
• Tackles your emotional responses to food and promises no more comfort eating.
• Snacking is allowed; in fact, you can eat as often as you want, perhaps eating up to six or seven smaller meals throughout the day.
• You will learn to respond to your body and eat only when it is hungry, not because you ‘fancy’ something.
• Promises to cure you of overeating forever – pledging an end to Yo-yo dieting.
• Claims you will automatically stop eating when your body has taken in sufficient calories.
• No taking pills, supplements or doing strenuous exercise.
• Guarantees permanent weight loss.
• Your one-off payment also gives access to the members-only website with access to personal development experts, Campbell and fellow dieters on the forums.
• Learn simple movements you can do at home to speed up your weight loss.
• You don’t need willpower.

Cons:

• You will need to be open minded about NLP for it to work.
• Critics of NLP still argue that there is little empirical evidence that it does works.
• If you want to lose weight, you will still need to make healthier choices regarding the food you should be eating.
• The Slim Girl’s Box of Secrets, however, doesn’t give you very much information on what constitutes healthy eating.
• If you are someone who needs structured diet plans to follow, this is not for you.
• You will need to spend 30 minutes a day dedicated to following the programme – if you can’t spare that much time to read and listen to the material, it will not work.
• Weight loss may take a little while to kick in, so you will need to be patient.
• With a one-off fee of £49.95 (plus £8.95 postage and packing in the UK), this is a significant one-off expense.

Summary:

If you suffer from binge eating, this product may well be perfect for you. The most positive thing is that it addresses emotional eating and the triggers that encourage you to overeat; if it does as it promises and eliminates these completely, your relationship with food should be much healthier afterwards.

You may need to do some extra research on healthy eating alongside this package (as the information is not generally supplied), but overall if its promises are to be believed, this is a great system for getting back in touch with your body and will promote healthy weight maintenance for the future.
