Some Results of Previous Test Groups

100% of Participants of a Clinical Test of the Shield Method Reported the following:

That this program changed them more than any other previous program they have tried.
That their ability to “Shield” is one of the most valuable personal skills they have acquired.
That this program has improved their eating preferences and habits more than any other program they have ever tried.
That they prefer this program to any other diet or weight loss program they have tried.
That this is the most reliable and enjoyable weight loss program they have ever tried.
That this program enabled them to reduce total food intake by at least 25% (the average was over 50%)!
That this program reduced their binging at least 25% less (51.72% reported that they are binging at least 75% less.)
That “Shielding” gives them greater personal control; and often reduces stress by making them feel more in control.
That this program has enabled them to make better food choices.
That they have greater self-esteem regarding their eating behaviors than they did before starting this program.
That this program enables them to stay in control of their eating most of the time.
That this program “gently” improved their eating habits in a relatively short period of time.
That this program made it easy for them to eat less than they used to.
That if they start to lose control of their eating, the Shield Method techniques enable them to regain control more easily and with fewer setbacks to their progress than any other program they’ve been on.
That this program is easier to stay on “long-term” than any other weight loss program they’ve tried.
That “Shielding” not to have some food reduces the number of urges and cravings to have it; and enables them to feel OK about missing out on it, rather than deprived.
That they “prefer to” and “automatically” eat less than they used to before starting this program.
That “Shielding” a limited amount of food enables them to be more satisfied with less.
(Remarkably, 42.3% of participants certified that the personal control they gained from this course enabled them to simultaneously reduce their alcoholic beverage consumption by at least 75%!)

Many additional positive results were obtained from this clinical test. These were just the 100 percents!

Ongoing Research

Shielders® is dedicated to documentation and scientific research. We have designed our results to be continuously duplicatable. For example, with the basic weight loss course (the only course currently available online), all participants record their subjective baseline information (about their levels of eating control and how it affects their lives) by answering assessment questions in an extensive baseline evaluation, before they learn the Shielders® weight loss techniques. Then, as they learn the techniques and progress through the course, they answer the same questions two more times: once, after they have learned the basic techniques and again, at the end of the course. This helps us determine and study each individual’s results as well as the overall efficacy of our courses. We intend to make our audited results available regularly.

Students also answer questions about their opinions and feelings about the course and we encourage and incentivize them to obtain and upload their objective “before” and “after” results, including outside medical blood tests, exam findings, etc. to add to our findings.

The evaluations are designed so that each participant’s progress may be documented for an unlimited number of years after completion of our courses. And we give incentives for graduates to retake the evaluations yearly, and to continue to submit their subjective and objective results.

We welcome opportunities to collaborate with researchers who have completed our courses. If you’re interested, you may indicate so on the “Course Completion Checklist,” at the end of each course.
