Salima
let go of 25 pounds!
For years I had a very hard time losing weight. I tried all
the diets, the Scarsdale diet, Jenny Craig, the Atkins diet, all
without any success. Then, I heard about Brian Alman's CD's
on personal power techniques.
After listening to
the tapes, I was able to learn how to eat a balanced and sensible diet
and actually started experiencing weight loss. I love Brian Alman's
CD's.
Thank you so much.

"I was up to
220 pounds after years of yo-yo dieting... after using [Dr. Alman's]
techniques just a very few times, I was released from the pain I'd been
carrying my whole adult life.
I no longer need food to feel good."

How blessed I am to have been
referred to Dr. Brian Alman. Dr. Brian Alman holds an amazing space for
your inner revelations and discoveries. I have carried a lot of excess
emotional weight for years and because
of the safety and compassion I felt with Dr. Alman, I was able to
travel back into the '60's through his medical hypnotherapy and
lovingly clean off two well buried issues that cluttered my subconscious
in just one day at the beach. I am experiencing a deeper level of peace
and feel connected and whole. Thank you for a truly unique and
wonderful experience. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

toxic drugs, surgical distortion of digestion or untoward manipulation
of nutrition would benefit from "Keep it Off."
This sensible and yet profound method will benefit
thousands in their quest to control the maladaptive eating disorders

Expert
in weight loss
"Dr.
Alman's book is an in-depth exploration of the emotional roots of
overeating and related attitudes and beliefs about food, body, and
eating. Along with rapid self-assessments, the book if brimming with
practical directions for exiting
the Yo Yo dieting trap and discovering a permanent solution for both
emotional and physical weight.
The
Quick Program Guide he provides at the end of the book is an excellent
way for readers to review and use the basic methods he clearly details
in earlier chapters.
This book is an essential
tool for people who are serious, not just for weight loss, but about
changing any negative or compulsive pattern. I highly recommend it."
Dr.
Peter Lambrou, Ph.D.,

loss, stress, family
"A very
large majority of individuals relapse and gain the weight again after
following weight loss regimens.
Dr. Alman has
developed a very successful program with excellent methods "to help a
person to keep the weight off" with specific improvements of your mind
body connections. You will start respecting yourself and develop a
positive and energetic attitude with new lifestyle directions."

I have been a meditation teacher
for 30 years now. I attended a personal power techniques course of Dr.
Alman while he was teaching in India. Since that time I have noticed
both a physical as well as emotional weight loss. His approach to the
self is nothing less then enlightening.
Swami

India teacher of meditation, etc...
Brian
Alman's book is as precise and entertaining as his teaching of the many
workshops I have organized for him in Germany and Europe.
His wealth of 25 years of experience in practicing himself and teaching
personal power techniques the reader will experience himself throughout
this remarkable book. It is a book for people with weight problems as
well as for therapists looking for a highly effective approach or for
additional techniques to enrich their own repertoires.

"Dr. Alman has taught me so much
that has completely changed the way I interview and treat patients."

"I found
this to be the best written book applied to weight management ever
written. We are so eager to find the magic pill to control weight that
we forget the power of the mind. Harnessing the power of the mind is of
paramount importance and Dr. Alman's book is an important tool that
allows the overweight person to do so."
Arnold
Singer MD
Internal Medicine, San Diego
What is so
special about what Dr. Brian Alman has to offer in "Keeping It Off" is
that his techniques for dealing with weight are equally effective for
dealing with any problem areas in your life. I have witnessed and
personally experienced the miraculous effects of Dr. Alman's approach
to weight management, health and balanced living. Dr. Alman understands
the unconscious mind and how to work with it to affect permanent
desired change that feels natural and effortless...that to me is the
best gift a person can ever hope to receive.
Kathy
Jakstis
Director of Kaiser's Positive Choice Center
The book
was terrific.
It was easy to follow and very encouraging for the
reader. It's hard to imagine someone following the book's plan and NOT
succeeding. The benefits go far beyond weight-loss as anyone who goes
along with this program will be delighted to find out for him/herself.
It's so refreshing to find a book on weight loss that gives the reader
a step-by-step way to deal with the deeper issues that created the
weight problem, and without which long-term success in keeping weight
off will remain an unattainable goal.
Congratulations!

Stories of Success
"I have known Brian Alman for only 2
years, now. He has the most complete command of performance enhancing
ideas I have ever experienced. The simplicity of his ideas and (I can't
say this strongly enough) the way they connect everything into a viable
performance bubble, has allowed me, at age 61, to play scratch golf,
again. You're the best, Brian.
The power of focusing on one thing and
blocking everything else out is something Brian helped me get back to.
I've hit millions golf balls since I was 8 years old. I have no reason
to doubt my ability to do it, no matter if I'm hitting shots for one
student or a national TV audience of millions of people. I just do what
I've been doing all these years. Focus, apply ball to club. It's that
simple."
A.J. Bonar, Founder of the Society of Golf
Educators,
Director of Instruction With 34 years of
professional teaching experience,
A.J. has created a forum
(The Society of Golf Educators) for simplifying the golf learning
process.
For 12 years, he created and administered the golf
curriculum for the San Diego Golf Academy. Today, he is the Director of
Instruction at the AJ Golf School in Carlsbad, CA. and is the
consultant for education for TaylorMade Golf.
He works with
touring professionals on the major tours as well as with beginners and
physically challenged golfers to make golf "easier to learn".
"...Through
using Dr. Alman's techniques, I found that I didn't need food to love
myself, it was a miracle."

I am doing
well. Very busy. Getting things done though and stopping client work
after 5 or 6 pm. I may then work on my admin stuff or my personal bills
or things. My legs are just now peeling from the day at the beach. My
left shoulder peeled a little after a couple of days or a week. I say
this because I feel that this peeling is like a sign of the layers of
things going away. The shoulder peel was me getting the "chip off my
shoulder" as mom would have said. Then my legs are more of a flaking
and flaking and flaking. Everyday there is a little bit more coming off
and going away. Leaving a fresh new me to face the world!
I
haven't had one of those days when I felt like I cannot get anything
done or that the world is as overwhelming as it used to be.
I don't know that I want to give you all of the power for this (I know
you said I did all of the work) but there is some slight differences
that are getting more prevalent since we spent the day on the beach.
I
definitely feel that having the sound of the ocean, the cool breeze,
the feel of sand in my toes made for a great venue for our work. We
were able to discuss things and delve into things that just weren't
possible in a one to two hour session. We were able to complete
thoughts and feelings about things we worked on because there was not a
time constraint. We were able to go in and continue working at things,
around things and through things.
I look forward
to more continued growth in the area of self-esteem and balance of
work, family and self. I can't believe it has been a month already
since we met. Wow!
Thank you Brian. I appreciate
all that you do in helping to guide me through to the new me!

"My goal
was to lost 8 pounds, effortlessly and easily. I never imagined it
could be not only fast and easy but also fun! I spent a warm, sunny,
day on the beach with Brian Alman who took me through a series of
gentle processes and visualizations that helped me to release a variety
of emotional issues. His approach is gentle and it felt more like
talking to an old friend than any kind of counseling session. He
supplied the beach chairs, umbrellas, a picnic lunch and the
techniques. All I had to do was sit back and let him kind me into some
relaxing spaces in mind. I
was surprised that he never, not once, had a conversation with me about
diet, exercise or losing weight and less than six weeks later I had
magically lost the 8 pounds. Incredible! I would highly
recommend spending a day with Brian Alman whether you want to lose
weight, or lose any kind of negative behavior."

Dear
Brian,
I want to thank you so much for my major
breakthrough. It's like a miracle.
You gave us
instructions to write a problem we wanted do something about in the
box. I was in class because of my obesity problem, so naturally I put
in the box "Why do I overeat?" We were about to close our eyes, but
something kept nagging me. I was going about my normal morning chores
when I got a notice in writing that put me into a tailspin. I became
angry, filled with fear of a major loss, helpless because I could not
change it, filled with severe emotional hate and fear. This continued
all day. Just before closing my eyes I quickly erased the item in the
box and rewrote "why do I fear the city home inspectors?" I quickly
changed a couple of circles, and then followed your beautiful
instructions.
IT WAS MAGIC when I finished the
work. I felt no remorse, no anger, no fear, no hatred, and I am at
peace with this potential problem. This type of fear and anger would
have normally lingered for at least weeks, or months, but now I AM AT
PEACE WITH IT. Wow! It's still hard to understand how this happened.
May
God bless you for that powerful work and powerful tools, and the great
work you do for so many. Thanks again.

been doing breath work and the watcher techniques. It helped me so much

the action quite a bit and at unexpected moments. I find this

of all the action."

"I
appreciate Dr. Alman's direct and uncomplicated style of interventions.
Those made the difference for me compared to the styles of my previous
teachers. I'm doing great with self love! I've often used
the watcher position in my life. I also use this technique a lot with
my clients, especially one on one."
Lee
S.
"Dr.
Alman's techniques have had a stunning impact on my inner work for
myself and the work with my clients. I offered my clients
breathing techniques, the closed eye history, the entrance exit
technique and the second watcher position in their movie. They were
thankful to gain access to their own inner knowledge, and they improved
very much in transforming their guilt and pain for a more satisfying,
happy balanced life for the future"

Dear Dr.
Alman,
I just wanted to thank you on my birthday. What I
have learned from you
during this last year makes
me feel like this is my first birthday of a happy life that can
continue for the rest of my life!
Thank you so
much!
Patricia
"Once
again, all I can say is WOW! I felt I wasn't fully prepared for what to
expect. I'm coming away with so much more than learning how to deal
with weight management.
An unexpected benefit, after
listening to your CDs just before going to sleep, I discovered I am
sleeping better and for longer intervals. Looking forward
to tonight's class."
Ruth
Thanks once more for
working with me and my volleyball teams. I learned a great deal from
you about how to control stress during competition, and even use it as
a tool for greater success. My mind set has always been that of an
overachieving type of athlete with a very low tolerance for making
mistakes. One of the problems associated with this attitude is that I
was always trying to achieve that perfect game where I made no mistakes
at all. This can be a good thing in terms of producing a very good work
ethic, but I improved tremendously once I learned now to put mistakes
behind me so I could give full attention to the next task at hand.
I also learned how to look positively
towards stressful situations as providing even more excitement and
motivation to meet the added challenge. Your visualization techniques
help me see how I can be my own worst enemy by being overly critical
and negative. Having a positive mind set and visualizing what I want to
have happen works. So many of these skills seem to come pretty
naturally to good athletes who have figured out how to be successful.
However, just like fundamental physical skills, mental skills improve
and become more automatic with practice.
