Why do I need the book if I am already on medication?

Here is the uncomfortable truth: research shows that a significant proportion of people on these medications regain some or all of their weight after stopping. One study found that participants regained about two thirds of their prior weight loss within 12 months of stopping treatment. The reason? They have not done the psychological work needed to change their relationship with food. The medication quiets the food noise and reduces your appetite, but it does not address the underlying reasons why you turned to food in the first place. Those patterns are still there, just masked by the medication. When you stop, they resurface. This book provides the missing piece: a step by step guide to making lasting changes while the medication gives you breathing space from the constant battle with food.
