This article describes an approach to weight loss and gain used by the three authors who conduct Anti-Diet groups in Perth, Western Australia. Diets are not prescribed. The authors look at all issues that contribute to a person's over or under eating and assist each person to identify and resolve their issues. Participants in the groups learn how to break their addictive relationship with food and how to get in touch with a natural desire for and a real enjoyment of food.
