Lifestyle Guru Paul McKenna Can Make You Thin

This Sunday, March 16, TLC presents I Can Make You Thin, an all new series starring lifestyle guru Paul McKenna.

Through a series of mental exercises delivered to the viewing audience through the television, McKenna’s anti-diet approach could eliminate the need for counting calories, cutting out carbs, starving yourself, or enduring brutal workouts. Now, the phrase “couch potato has a new meaning as you learn the secret to losing weight just by watching TV.

The series will showcase Paul‘s “4 Golden Rules” -simple, accessible techniques that show viewers how to control the mind‘s relationship with food - to help shed pounds and gain confidence without having to leave the couch. Paul explains: “This is not a diet – it’s about changing your life using simple psychological techniques which transform people‘s relationship with food forever. I am thrilled to bring this successful program to America for the first time.” Paul’s program is already a smash success in England, where the British version of the series was the most-watched show in the history of Sky Television and its companion book is the best-selling self-improvement book in British history.

Paul, who has helped celebrities get into shape and stay healthy, will kick off his five part series by sharing his rules; each week he will apply these rules to one of the major themes that most commonly define people‘s struggle with weight: emotional eating, addictions and cravings, motivation to exercise and metabolism, and self esteem and self-image.
