· Sylvia’s program is the first one I have participated in and seen work. It really does what it says and more. Living Thin graduates keep the weight off and improve their mental and physical health and gain emotional maturity.” - Mark Weinberg, M.D., Sarasota, Florida
· Sylvia Goldman’s Living Thin program placed me in charge of two struggles I’ve had in my personal life for years:
1.Losing weight and keeping it off
2.Dealing with stress
I learned how to eat and cope in just a few weeks! You can too!”
- Dr. Harvey Kaltsas, Acupuncture Physician, Sarasota, FL;
President Emeritus, American Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine; former Chair, FL Board of Acupuncture
· “Sylvia’s Living Thin is a brilliant compilation of the latest thinking in weight loss research and mental health. It’s a no nonsense, down to earth program that does a lot more than ensure weight loss. It teaches emotional health and overall preventive medicine.” - Dr. Jack Osman, Ph.D., Professor of Health Science, Towson University; author of Thin from Within and Fat, Fat, Fat
· From personal experience, I know that diets don’t work. Living Thin, however, offers a way out through education and changing attitudes. It really works.” - Dr. David Hungerford, M.D., Associate Professor of Orthopedic Surgery; Chief, Division of Arthritis Surgery, The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine
· After listening to the speakers at Sylvia’s preview of the Living Thin program, I knew this program was refreshingly different and I was delighted. For the first time a program designed for this purpose appealed to my intelligence as well as my self esteem. I say this as one who has suffered with overweight for many, many years and also as a physician who sees and knows the physical and psychological problems associated with overweight and dietary indiscretions. Thank you. You changed my life!” - Dr. Alan Davis, M.D., Surgeon, Baltimore, Maryland
· Living Thin is just what the name implies. Overweight individuals are taught how to lose weight by eating properly and exercising. Most important, however, they are taught how to maintain their weight loss by correcting the factors in their lives that have led them to being overweight. Very Sincerely, Harry F. Klinefelter, M.D.” - Dr. Klinefelter was a member of the faculty of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine whose teachings are part of the curriculum in most medical schools because of his discovery of the “Klinefelter syndrome” while an endocrinologist at Boston’s Massachusetts General Hospital in 1942.
· Dear Sylvia, You are to be congratulated for all of the success you have had in helping people lose weight, eat healthier foods, and feel better about themselves. You are a very dynamic and persuasive individual. Your program has helped many people over the years to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. Obesity is a major risk factor for the development of heart disease and stroke. More than a third of all adults are significantly overweight. Programs such as yours are of vital importance to our nation’s health. The Living Thin program also serves to improve participants’ self-esteem and helps them to more effectively deal with the stress in their lives. I wish you and your program continued success over the years.” - Roger S. Blumenthal, M.D., Director Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease, The John Hopkins Hospital
·It has been twenty-five years since a friend in the medical field recommended the Living Thin Program. Both my husband, a cardiologist, and myself, an Organizational Coach, learned behaviors and thinking skills that still impact our daily decisions concerning food, exercise, and stress. Sylvia Goldman’s organized approach to successful weight loss taught us to recognize and overcome the roadblocks that prevented us from succeeding in the past. The strategies for dealing with daily stress that she teaches separate the Living Thin Program from all others and empower her students to be in control of their food and exercise choices. The Living Thin Program is timeless in its emphasis on optimism, individualization and the belief in the power of changing old habits. It is not an exaggeration to claim that this program has changed our lives.” - Garth Ann Gerstenblith
· Mrs. Goldman has the skill and passion to motivate young and older adults to learn just about anything. Her Living Thin program was the first in the country that addressed and solved the long-term problem of keeping off the weight that her students lost. By understanding the basic facts of weight loss and gain, by learning about hoe to “fix” problems by using Rational Emotive Therapy, and by setting realistic goals, students of Living Thin discovered a way of maintaining ideal weight for the rest of their lives. Better yet - what we learned from Sylvia in Living Thin seemed to spill over and define in many positive ways all aspects of our lives!” - Jane Carr, Treadwell, NY
· I’m writing to let you know how pleased I am to have met Sylvia Goldman and to be working with her to lose weight! I have been to Lean Line and Weight Watchers. I’ve done Atkins, the South Beach Diet, the Grapefruit Diet, and I’ve tried more herbal remedies than you can imagine. I’ve not lost weight on any of them to the point that I achieved my goal and maintained the weight loss. I’m delighted to be working with Sylvia. She’s caring and knowledgeable and her ideas, that diets are for dummies, resonate with me. I like the one-on-one review of the foods I eat and the exercise I get. She’s knowledgeable enough about food intake to zero in on a particular issue, recommend a change, follow up to see the change is implemented, and compliment you when you get the results you want. She credits me with the ideas when it was really was hers. I’m heading down on the scale these days.”- Tama Traberna, Longboat Key, FL
· I have talked and worked with Sylvia Goldman. Listened to her main presentations of the theory and practice of Rational Emotive Therapy (REBT). In the course of investigating the REBT aspects of her Living Thin seminars, I have found that she understands REBT very well, is an excellent teacher of it, uses it effectively with people who have emotional issues about maintaining their weight loss, and helps them in other ways. Although Sylvia makes no pretense of being a psychotherapist, her seminars, workshops, and follow up sessions can be of great value to many people who have problems of overeating.” - Albert Ellis, Ph.D. Based on a 1982 professional survey of U.S. and Canadian psychologists, he was considered as the second most influential psychotherapist in history (Carl Rogers ranked first in the survey; Sigmund Freud was ranked third).
