The 3-day solution plan

de Laurel Mellin

Developed and tested at the University of California at San Francisco, this obesity intervention treatment, called the Solution Method, avoids restrictive diets and weight loss drugs, but instead focuses on fundamental internal skills, teaching self-nurturing and effective limit setting, and resulting in weight loss that was sustained for years after the end of the program. Participants report eating less not because they are complying with a diet but because they stopped wanting the extra food.
