The Diet Trap
Feed Your Psychological Needs & End the Weight Loss Struggle Using Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
Authors: Jason Lillis, PhD, JoAnne Dahl, PhD, and Sandra M. Weineland, PhD
Have you tried every diet under the sun only to end up back where you started—sometimes heavier, always more frustrated? You’re not alone. Billions are spent on weight-loss products each year, yet long-term success remains rare. The truth is, most diets only target the symptom (food) while ignoring the real cause—our relationship with thoughts, emotions, and values.
The Diet Trap offers a different approach. Grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), this book helps you build a healthier relationship with food, with your body, and most importantly—with yourself. Instead of endless cycles of deprivation and guilt, ACT encourages mindfulness, self-compassion, and values-driven living.
What You’ll Learn
- Why diets fail and how restrictive eating keeps you stuck.
- Mindful eating practices to help you enjoy food without shame or fear.
- Self-compassion tools that free you from the harsh inner critic.
- Values-based living that goes beyond the number on the scale.
- Practical ACT exercises that give you real-life skills for lasting change.
With evidence-based strategies and compassionate guidance, The Diet Trap empowers you to stop fighting food and start living a fuller, more meaningful life.
Reviews
“We do not need to be informed about all the problems involved with being overweight. What we do need are positive messages on how to approach this problem without making it worse and adding more burdens to our lives. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) offers a different message than the usual one. We are encouraged not to struggle in vain, but rather to build a new way of life. This book by Lillis, Dahl, and Weineland is a substantial contribution for persons who are searching for a new way of approaching their weight problems.”
— Gerhard Andersson, PhD, professor of behavioral sciences and learning, Linköping University
“In this book, Lillis, Dahl, and Weineland provide a new and refreshing perspective on the struggle to lose weight and adopt a healthy lifestyle. They offer a radically new approach with practical exercises based on acceptance, self-compassion, and behavior change. The book conveys hope, outlines a realistic way of living a valued life, and takes a functional approach toward weight regulation and a healthy lifestyle. Read this book if you are concerned about your shape and weight: choose life!”
— Ata Ghaderi, professor of clinical psychology, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm
