Film Review - That Sugar Film By Director Damon Gameau

"A definite must see"

-Jamie Oliver

With all the hype about our diet and sugar at the moment this is a very important documentary to see.
Damon Gameau takes us on a journey documenting the effects of a high sugar diet on his own healthy body. He uses only foods that are seemingly seen as healthy.

That Sugar Film is a witty and informative documentary, something the whole family can watch. It is very eye opening and the high sugar diet results are not surprising. An enjoyable and thought provoking film.

Book Review - The diet trap : feed your psychological needs & end the weight loss struggle using acceptance & commitment therapy / Jason Lillis, PhD, JoAnne Dahl, PhD, Sandra M. Weineland, PhD.

The Diet Trap helps you to step out of the weight loss struggle by helping you change the way you relate to food and exercise. This is done by proven effective methods based in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). This book will help you cultivate more mindful eating habits, self compassion and a deeper connection with your own core values.
The three authors all have PHD's in the field of psychology and have clinical experience using acceptance and commitment therapy.

The Diet Trap is filled with beneficial examples and exercises to work through. I found the book to be refreshing and it offered a different view and path to permanent weight loss.
