100 the rice diet renewal
New York City therapist Carol Look agrees. “ When you use sugar
or overeating as a way to numb your feelings, ” says Dr. Look, “ no
diet in the world can help you. Even the latest surgery does nothing
to correct underlying emotional imbalances that trigger overeating.
EFT doesn ’ t focus on calorie restriction. Instead, it targets emotions
that lead to immediate cravings, hunger pangs, and poor eating hab-

other EFT practitioners worldwide report a 50 to 80 percent suc-
cess rate for those who tap for weight loss, and the results, espe-
cially for specifi c cravings, are often immediate.
Do it yourself, and judge by the results.

for a few weeks. With no adverse side effects and positive responses
probable, it is a challenge worth taking!
