Case of the Week: Eileen—weight loss

Eileen, who appeared with me on The Rachael Ray Show, is one of the Amen Clinics weight-loss study participants. When Eileen joined the group, she weighed 187 pounds. By the end of the program, she had lost more than 15 pounds.

When she took the Change Your Brain, Change Your Body Questionnaire, she discovered that she was a Type 5 Anxious Overeater. Knowing this helped her focus on reducing her anxiety so she could finally lose some weight.

For Eileen, the most valuable part of the program was the Change Your Brain, Change Your Body Daily Journal. She found that it helped keep her honest about her food intake and served as a daily reminder to follow brain healthy habits.

Here’s what she had to say about some of the changes she has made that helped her drop the weight: “I exercise more, almost every day. I kill ANTs [automatic negative thoughts]. I have a gratitude journal and clear goals and methods.”
