INTRODUCTION

We don't recommend a diet.

So with diets out of the question, how then does one lose weight?

By looking after not only the body, but also the mind and soul/spirit.

We look after the mind by understanding how it is that we lose weight; we need to understand how our body functions. What are its positive stimuli and what are the negative ones? We have to study the endocrine system and how metabolism elevates or declines.

We have to understand what foods nourish the body and make it healthy.

We have to give the body the physical exercise that it needs to maintain an optimal lifestyle.

We have to feed the soul with what it wants and read the metaphysical signals that it is giving out through the untidy placement of fats in our body.

We have to understand these signs in order to tackle them.

Why do we gain weight?

The no. 1 reason is stress and an inability to cope with stress.

The no. 2 reason is a lack of self-esteem.

The no. 3 reason is the practice of bad habits.

The no. 4 reason is a lack of discipline.

The no. 5 reason is our inability to cope with frustration.

The no. 6 reason is laziness.

It’s time to get a grip on your life. Let’s get started.

There is no quick fix. Simply taking pills or fad diet concoctions will not change the habits and lifestyle that has placed you in the situation you find yourself in.

Make this lifestyle a habit and keep the weight off.

WHY WE GAIN WEIGHT

We all gain weight. Or at least there are times when we fail the weight-gain game.

It goes up and then down, and then up again. Oh the frustration! And sometimes it remains up and does not come down.

This book is all about how to win the weight game. Here's why this book is different from others you have read: we will focus on dieting!

Diets are self-defeating. The minute you say you want to be on a diet and the word diet registers in your head, your whole focus is on food that is labeled sinful. The mind establishes a great concentration on foods and a dislike to any healthy foods.

It is interesting to note that the word die is within the word "diet. The resistance to die or diet is very great; the instinct to survive kicks in.

Diets Can Actually Make You Gain Even More Weight

Diets put the body on starvation mode. What does this mean? Let me explain it to you.

If you eat 2500 calories per day, then your metabolism will adjust accordingly an intake of 2500 calories will be counterbalanced by the body burning those 2500 that day.

So, if you are on a diet and you suddenly reduce your caloric intake to 1000 calories per day, your metabolism will adjust itself so that your body begins to burn only 1000 calories, not the 2500 that you expected it to burn.

In the end, you don’t lose weight. The body
