How many times have you tried a new diet program hoping to lose weight fast only to end up in frustration and failure? Did you know that over 90% of people actually gain weight within 6 months of dieting! Here are the top 10 reasons why:

1. Diets focus all your attention on food and eating, which is what you actually want to minimize in your mind. What you focus on expands so focusing on food is counterproductive when you want to lose weight.

2. Diets create stress and stress creates at compulsion to eat.

3. Diets fail to address the real problems: your self-esteem and your reliance on food to change your emotions.

4. Dieting can result in mood swings and depression which make it harder to lose weight. Depression can actually lead to weight gain.

5. Diets put you in “starvation mode”. When you severely restrict your food intake it signals your body that food is scarce. Your body is designed to protect you against the possibility starvation by storing fat when whenever food becomes unavailable.

6. Diets lower your metabolism. When you suddenly limit your caloric intake, your metabolism slows down and burns less calories. Dieting actually makes your body more efficient at conserving calories and storing them up as fat .

7. Diets judge their success by the number of pounds lost rather than by the true objectives: increased energy, feeling good about yourself, and looking good in your clothes again.

8. Diets are temporary. When you reach your goal weight on a diet you stop and return your your normal eating habits so the weight eventually comes back.

9. Diet sodas increase your appetite. They contain phosphoric acid which increase your appetite and leaches calcium from your bones. They may also contain aspartame which drains your energy, your strength, and your stamina.

10. Diets change your short term eating habits without changing your long term mindset about food. Your thoughts create your actions, so if you still have the same thoughts and feelings about food eventually you will return to the same eating behaviors. To create long term, permanent changes in your body you must first start with changes in your thinking.

Well, I’m not sure if it’s you or if it was me. But I started this school year (Sept) at about 193lbs and I made my realistic goal of 185lbs. I decided to drop my new goal to 175lbs last month and I’m already down to 180. Not too shabby if you ask me.

Thanks for all of the tips – by the way I’m using the free book that you told us to download after speaking to our school.

Hi Nick,
great job on reaching and exceeding your weight loss goals!

By the way, you asked if it’s me or if it’s you. The answer is…
it’s you! You took action and that’s why you’re enjoying success today.

Most people just read my blog but they never even bother to download the free eBooks let alone listen to the hypnosis CDs.
You did and by doing so you moved past “thinking about losing weight” to actually doing something about it.

Thanks for sharing your success story. I’m glad my college seminar made a difference

Joshua, nicely done insightful..I like idea of focusing on the outcome rather than the food, calories, fat and/or weight. Michael

Hi Joshua,
I ordered your weight-loss cds about a week and a half ago. I can’t believe how easy it’s been for me to stop drinking sodas and eating cookies!! I’m sure anyone who reads this will think I’m paid to post stuff like this but I’m not- just a real person who is REALLY digging your cds!

I’ve lost 4 pounds already But more importantly, I am definitely feeling better about myself and I feel happier already.

I was thin/average for my entire life until two years ago when I gained 20 lbs. During my conscious programming (which I definitely think has helped me “reinforce” while I’m at work!) I even figured out the emotional trigger that caused my weight gain.

I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU!! If 4 lbs is all I lose I’ll still be happy! I feel great about myself, and have found that your cds relieve a great deal of my stress too!

Joshua, BIG HUG!!

Thanks Sherri, That’s awesome!
Figuring out your emotional trigger and then overcoming it will have many long term effects that go well beyond weight gain. You may find that in addition to continuing to lose weight you also gain new friends and new opportunities in life because you’re more emotionally balanced and at peace with yourself.

Congratulations and BIG HUG back,
Joshua
