The Weigh Down Diet advises using spirituality to avoid overeating and has sold more than 1.2 million copies. Since that time she has written Rise Above and a devotional book called Exodus.
Shamblin teaches that there are two very different needs in each person; a need for food and an emotional need. According to Ms. Shamblin, people should only eat when they feel real, physical hunger and stop when full; prayer and Bible reading will fill emotional needs instead of food. Overeating is equated with greed. A core principle of the Weigh Down Diet, when people feel an urge to snack but are not experiencing true physiological “hunger”, Shamblin encourages participants to read the Bible instead.
