About this ebook
Isn’t your desire to overeat really spiritual hunger?
“I can stop in the middle of a candy bar and have no desire to eat the second half if my stomach is not calling for it.”
- Gwen Shamblin
Do you eat and eat and never feel full? Rise above the magnetic pull of the refrigerator and turn to the bounty offered to thousands who have embraced a liberating weight-reduction program in churches across America. The Weigh Down Diet gives new hope to millions who have failed on conventional diets and guides readers to the richer satisfaction that comes not from food, but from faith.
Gwen Shamblin’s The Weigh Down Diet is a groundbreaking approach to weight loss. People who have known no end to their hunger and who have no control over their late-night binges have learned through the Weigh Down Workshop that they can remove the irresistible desire for food. This is not a diet like others, because it is not food-focused. It contains chapters such as “It’s Not Genetics or Your Mother’s Fault,” “I Feel Hungry All the Time,” and “How to Eat Potato Chips and Chocolate.” So, as you can see, here is a very different approach to weight loss. Weigh Down gives back hope to dieters who will learn that God did not put chocolate or lasagna on Earth to torture us – but rather for our enjoyment!

Mind blown. All food is good in the sight of God, it's the amount that matters! Reading this book my heart regarding food has completely changed. What an incredible fair and generous exchange God has set for us: we can eat whatever we desire, as long as it is within the realm of hungry and politely full. God is so good! I am so grateful God led me to this book and I'm so grateful he has used Gwen in such a wonderful way in helping others see where they left God out. My life will never be the same!

Very good book. An easy read for Christians. Very no nonsense advice. This is what I have been looking for. I like food and don't want to eat 'special' foods. With that said, the first 10 days were the hardest. After that, it has been much easier. I lost 10lbs in about 4 weeks. It really challenges your Christian faith. I used to eat this way when I was young and, of course, much thinner.

One that sides with the bible. I recommend this book. But only if you truly want to be free from the world of dieting and the rules of man. No tricks and no gimmicks. Easy to understand.and full of biblical truth.
