LOOKING TO LOOSE WEIGHT?

There has been many hundreds of studies that have looked at thousands of people on all sorts of dietary interventions all trying to figure out what's the most effective way to lose weight? They've looked at low carb diets, low fat diets, low calorie, very low calorie. They've looked at meal replacement shakes and programs and formulas. They've looked at group sessions. They've looked at dietary interventions where they give you a list of foods to choose from or ones where they just tell you exactly what not to eat. They've looked at dietary counselling, exercise counselling. You name it, they've studied it.
If you were to put all of those studies all together and combine the results, this is generally what you're going to find. In the first few weeks, low carb tends to come out in front, but after around two or three months or so, most of them tend to look around the same. Somewhere around the one to two-year mark, most people have started to put most of the weight back on. By the two to four-year mark, most people have put all of the weight back on. Then, sadly, if you get to the five-year mark, what you tend to find is that most people are actually heavier than what they were to begin with.
See, to me, and I think most people, the idea of successful weight loss that works is not just something that can help you lose weight for a few months and then put it back on, but something that can help you lose the weight and then keep it off, long term, But the sad reality is that to this day, nothing has been shown to be able to do that.
See, all those popular weight loss programs and commercial plans, they show you the before and after photos, but what they don't show you are the after, after photos. After the people have put all the weight back on again. The reason why none of these dietary programs works when it comes to keeping the weight off long-term is because I believe they are essentially looking in the wrong direction. You see, unhealthy eating is not the cause of the problem. Unhealthy eating is merely the consequence of the problem.
What's the cause of the problem? Well, consider this. Even in my experience as a therapist, the small number of people who I've ever encountered who have actually been able to maintain the weight loss for over five years, I could count them on one hand. Funny enough, they all had this one particular trait in common. They all did this one particular thing, and mind you, it had nothing to do with being on a diet. When they told me this one particular thing, it didn't really click for me at the time. Until the day came for me to have to actually put this stuff into practice for myself.
I actually ended up becoming a bit overweight myself at one point. When the day came where I had to actually put my own knowledge into practice, I quickly learned that there's a big difference between knowing something up here in the mind and actually being able to put it into practice. What I found was that even though I had all the right knowledge, I knew what to do, I had all the training, I had the degrees ... I knew exactly what to do and what not to do, but despite knowing that, even when I could force myself to do it for a while, I just couldn't seem to stick with it long term.
I even tried seeing a couple of dieticians and personal trainers myself. I said, "Look. I'm a therapist, im smart, i can read and I know what to eat. It's not that I'm dumb and don't know. It's just it feels like maybe if I get somebody to report back to or somebody to tell me what to do, it might help me stick with it and stay motivated, if that makes sense. This is actually why most personal trainers have jobs, they arnet there to tell you what to do so much as they are there to make you accountable. All personal trainers would agree with you that most of their clients train with them for that one reason alone.
The trainer i worked with basically told me that he was going to give me a meal pla, a workout routine and some other plans that i would have to stick to. That's when I started to realize that there's something wrong with this picture, and I really needed to change my way of thinking. That's when I became really fascinated with this question, which is why is it that even when we know, even when we're fully aware what to do or what not do do, even when we know full well to do A, B, and C, why is it that we end up just doing X, Y, Z instead? Even when we are fully aware and we have all the knowledge, why do we do that?
Here's the thing that gave it away for me, though. This was the big clue. That was in realizing that when everything was going fine for me, when life was on track and everything was fine, that's when I could stick with the diet, no problem. But when things around me weren't going so well and I became really stressed, that's when it become not so easy to stick with it. That's when I started then being kind of almost driven towards those comfort eating behaviors.
What I realized was that this is all to do with the mind, especially the part of the mind that controls things that we're not always aware of, what we call the unconscious mind, or some people say subconscious mind. What I realized was that if the problem, the cause of the problem, exists in the unconscious mind, then anything that doesn't address the unconscious cause is just going to distract us, lead us around in circles, and bring us back to where we started.
When I say it's all in the mind, I don't just mean it's to do with being lazy or motivated, either, because I know plenty of people who are very, very motivated people, highly successful in their career because of their motivation and their strong determination and drive, and yet when it comes to healthy eating, just can't seem to pull themselves in the right direction. They can't seem to stick with it, whereas I also know plenty of people that are essentially lazy lay abouts that don't have any difficulty with healthy eating at all.
See, that tiny percentage of people that have kept the weight off long-term, the thing that they told me, and it was different for all of them, but the common denominator among all of them was that they had all experienced some kind of life-changing event. Something had changed in their life, and as a result of that life change, what they described was that they felt different on the inside from that point moving forward. They felt different about themselves. So from that point moving forward, the way that they described it was that they just didn't feel the same. They didn't feel that same drive to eat for comfort anymore. That thing that had been pulling them towards comfort eating just let go. What I realized at that point was that the change needs to occur on the inside so that we can then change what we're doing on the outside.
What I'd like you to understand now is that on the inside, our unconscious mind has these sort of like ... Think of them as like invisible magnetic forces. At any given point in time, those magnetic forces are either pulling us towards certain things or they're repelling us away, pushing us away from certain things. We run into trouble when we start being pulled towards the self-sabotaging behaviors, the things that are unhealthy or unhelpful, whilst being pushed away from the things that would actually be in our best interest to do.
There's only so long that we can keep forcing ourselves to try and push against that magnetic repulsion to try and stay motivated before eventually what happens is our unconscious mind essentially becomes exhausted. When that happens, it's like trying to push a boulder uphill. Eventually when we become exhausted, it just falls back down, because gravity is naturally pushing it that way.
Unless you learn how to reprogram your unconscious mind, what's going on at the inside, essentially it's just going to be like paddling upstream against the current. You can only stick with it so long before the current's just going to take you back to where you started.
What I discovered was a few really simple tricks to be able to learn how to reprogram what's going on on the inside of us at the unconscious level, because when you can reprogram yourself unconsciously, essentially you get to decide which habits you'd like to magnetically be pulled towards and which habits you'd like to be pushed against. That way, it's basically like sitting back and just going with the flow. Your mind will take you in the direction automatically without having to struggle, without even having to try. Even writing this text today for me was a little bit of a struggle, because I kept procrastinating by doing other things. I had to keep pulling myself away from doing other things, whereas previously in the past, doing other things was something I had to almost force myself into doing.
Look, if being able to reprogram and change your mind, and have control over the things that you're either pulled towards or pushed away from, if that sounds like something that you'd like to learn how to do, then what I've done is I've actually put together an eBook detailing step by step the process of how to actually reprogram yourself on the inside at the unconscious level. Of course, you can use these techniques to do more than just change your diet and exercise patterns. You can use them in any area of life where you want to change your habits.
Around this time that I was learning these strategies, it wasn't just my health that was suffering. I was struggling financially and emotionally. My life was a bit of a mess. I was a bit all over the place. But when I learned how to reprogram the unconscious mind, it changed everything. Now, I've grown a company that's employed several hundred people across Australia. My life is remarkably different because I've learned these techniques to reprogram what's happening on the inside that as a result gets to change what happens on the outside.
Whether it's weight loss or any other area of life, whether you want to reprogram your dietary habits, your exercise habits, your career, study, business habits, or any other specific area of life that you want to change on the inside, this eBook will give you step by step instructions to understand how to go about facilitating that change so you no longer have to keep struggling, but instead, change the position of those internal magnets to actually pull you towards the changes that you've been looking for.
Whether you prefer to download the FREE eBook version to begin with, or the full version found below, you are going to learn a lot about change. If you prefer listening over reading, you can always download the audio version too. But either way, what you're about to learn will change the way that you look at everything you've ever done, and it will change the way you look at everything you're about to do as well. With that in mind, sit back, relax, get comfortable, and enjoy the ride. Talk to you soon.
