Our studies have shown that the Shield Method can give individuals much more reliable and consistent personal control of their eating behaviors. Many positive effects may result, including weight loss, improved eating habits, reduced stress, improved health and greater self esteem. There are almost no negative effects of increased personal control. (Your partner could get jealous?) 

However, you should consult with your medical doctor before starting this or any weight loss program. Changes that may occur are consistent with other portion control methods. Therefore, your doctor may want to monitor your blood values and adjust your medications as you lose weight and change throughout this course. Those with moderate to severe mental health conditions should also consult with their mental health care provider (preferably one who is familiar with the Shield Method) prior to starting this course.

If you are considering this course for a child or adolescent, please see “Parental Advisement” on our Terms and Conditions page.
