I feel the other reviewer on this book/tape seemed to be confused about the word Auto-matically, which is printed on the cover.

I just begun to listen to this tape mid December and I do like it. You can listen to this tape while driving (the main reason I purchase it). I believe it's a play on words. Auto-matically does not mean that weight will come off automatically. I've read the back cover on another similar self-help tapes and they stress "DO NOT use their tapes while driving it can cause drousiness etc. This tape YOU CAN DRIVE and listen. Read the back cover and decide for yourself.

You must be open mined about how this tape works and they do stress that. They use affirmations (positive assertions) mostly throughout the tape. You may feel corny at first, (I do) repeating these affirmations to yourself, but maybe this IS what I/we need to "win the mental game of weight control. I know I can't achieve a better me soly by listening to this tape alone. In the short time of listening to this tape I can already see that mentally I'm more positive about wanting to improve myself. I've begun to re-read my ol' shelved fitness books and look for an exercise routine and ways to cook healthier meals. See it has helped me already.

I have been listening to the CD now for about a week and I find that what they say is true. If you listen to it daily, the affirmations become planted in your mind and it really does make it easier to make healthier eating choices and to exercise. I have tried other cd's like this but had difficulty getting past the speaker's voices on them. The Griswold's voices are comforting and soothing just the way they should be. I recommend this to anyone wanting to improve themselves.

A co-worker lent me this CD and after listening once, I immediately went out and purchased my own. This is a training session for the mind, and if you don't think you have to train your mind while your training your body (trying to lose weight), then think again. There is vital information coupled with a series of affirmations that actually change the way you think about your body, about diets, and about exercise. It made a huge positive difference in my program.

It would be lovely to play this audiocassette and achieve weight loss "automatically". But as most of us know it doesnt work like that in the real world. The cassette is ok to listen to, but has a few problems. Its designed to be used in the car and the authors state this. However, their voices are so relaxing I found myself having trouble staying awake when I used the cassette. Secondly, its obvious they are very happy with each other and they indicate this with comments to one another that really detract from the point of the cassette. The premise of the cassette is that feeling good about yourself will help you lose weight and once you feel good about yourself the weight will come off "automatically" but then they go on to recommend a 40/30/30 diet! Thus the message of the cassette isnt quite what its supposed to be.

This CD is amazingly helpful and the Griswolds are very supportive. I listen to it 1-2 times a day while driving and it is making a real difference (along with diet and exercise). Appropriate no matter what diet you are following. One of the best.
