This is an excellent tape for weight loss and exercise motivation. I can hear the Hypnotists voice in my head all day motivating me. I would recommend it if you are serious about weight loss and have tried all the diets and have failed. Weight loss is not about diet it is about addressing all the emotional issues associated with eating. I would combine this tape with Doreen Virtue's Eating CD's and Books to obtain a complete and comprehensive approach to losing weight and keeping the weight off permanently.
