Book excerpt: What if you could pray for weight loss and have your prayer answered to the exact pound you requested? Popular minister Dr. Matthew Anderson, author of the "Coyote Wisdom" column for EDIETS.com, asked that question of his readers, and received an overwhelming response. Many decided to take part in a simple prayer/weight-loss experiment he was conducting. The results were astonishing. Now Dr. Anderson has put his exciting Prayer Diet in book form. With The Prayer Diet, there is no regimen to follow. Instead, it asks readers to complete a few steps every day that address the emotional, mental, and spiritual essentials for lasting weight loss. Drawing on the wisdom of Jesus, Abraham, the thirteenth-century Sufi poet, Rumi, Carl Jung, and Zen philosophy, Dr. Anderson teachers readers how to achieve both a slim, healthy body and heightened self-esteem. In the fast-reading chapters of The Prayer Diet, Dr. Anderson will answer all readers' questions and provide encouragement as they slim down. He also includes a prayer maintenance program, to keep dieters from ever regaining the pounds they shed. Much more than a mere weight loss program, this program will enable those who follow it to heal inner pain, overcome self-criticism, and begin to love themselves more--which are all vital components to weight loss success.
