Emotional Eating: My Kindle Book Describes The Cause And Cure
I’ve had many breakthroughs over the years, from creating the Lefkoe Belief Process that quickly and permanently eliminates the beliefs that run our lives, to the various de-conditioning processes, to a process that dissolves the meaning we automatically and unconsciously add to events all day long. Two of the most exciting breakthroughs occurred just a few years ago when I figured out that the primary cause of emotional eating is behavioral conditioning, not beliefs, and then created a process that de-conditioned the triggers for emotional eating. I wrote a book describing my emotional eating breakthroughs After those breakthroughs I wrote [...]
How To Keep Your New Year’s Resolutions
Did you keep your New Year’s resolutions last year? … What about the year before? … If you are like most people, you worked on them through the middle of January and by early February you had forgotten you ever made them. Or, perhaps after several years of failure, you stopped making New Year’s resolutions at all. Why don’t we do the things that we say we are going to do? Things we really want to do? Things that truly would benefit our lives? The answer is simple. Our behavior is not the result of our desires or even our [...]
Emotional eating: the cause and the cure
Joanne was 52 when she called me to help her with her weight problem. She said she needed to lose 80-90 pounds, but her real complaint was, “I need to eat all the time. I know I’m full and I keep eating anyway.” As I questioned her she revealed that it was easier for her to eat and be fat than to have to explain to herself why men didn’t love her. “Men are not interested in fat women, so if I’m fat a lack of interest from men won’t mean anything about ME.” She said she used food to [...]

The Causes And Cure For Overeating
The more we work with clients who have a problem of overeating, the more convinced I am that we have come up with an effective solution to a major health crisis. Over 70% of American adults are either overweight or obese. That is a disastrous situation for those people who have an eating/weight problem and a serious crisis for society as a whole. As more and more clients de-condition eating as the compulsive response to emotional triggers and as I better understand the role of beliefs in overeating, it is clear that a long-term solution to overeating now [...]
This Way To Well-being: TLM Part 3
The Lefkoe Occurring Process (LOP) and the Lefkoe De-conditioning Process (LDP) are the two newest processes that constitute The Lefkoe Method (TLM). I’ve mentioned them before in other posts; today I will summarize each of them and describe how each offers a unique benefit not found in any other process in TLM or, to the best of my knowledge, in any psychotherapeutic or personal growth technique. I also will describe the Who Am I Really? (WAIR?) Process, which helps you enter an altered state of consciousness. The Lefkoe Occurring Process Our beliefs are the meaning we gave to a [...]
What’s the difference between change and transformation?
If you’re reading this blog post you probably are interested in transformation. But I suspect that what you mean by transformation is very different from what others mean by the same word. I’m a member of the Transformational Leadership Council, a group of “transformational” leaders, and I’ll bet if I asked each member what he/she meant by the term transformation we would get almost as many definitions as there are members. So I would like to suggest a definition of transformation, not as the last word on the subject, but as a starting place for a discussion that I hope [...]
Boy, was I wrong in my last eating blog post!
When I wrote my blog post on August 17 about how my new de-conditioning process would stop emotional eating, I made a few statements that I’ve since discovered just aren’t true. So this post will correct those mistakes and bring you up to date on what I am currently doing to help people stop emotional eating for good. My single biggest error was in stating, “I finally realized that almost all emotional eating involves both types [classical and operant] of conditioning.” In fact, I’m now pretty sure that neither of these types of conditioning is involved. Conditioning is still the [...]
How To Find The Beliefs That Cause Various Problems
Getting rid of a limiting belief with the Lefkoe Belief Process (LBP) is not particularly difficult. We can train people to do that in a weekend. And we can create an on-line process or a DVD that will eliminate a specific belief. The trickiest aspect of the LBP is identifying all the relevant beliefs that cause a given problem. Getting rid of the beliefs is actually easier than finding them. That’s why we can put together programs that eliminate specific problems when we already know what beliefs (and conditionings) cause those problems for most people. So far we have created [...]
