The Surprising Truth About Weight Loss

If you have ever thought that dieting and exercising is all you need to lose weight for good you are totally wrong! This article will show you the truth about weight loss, everything you need to know about the TOP obstacle to weight loss.

Going on a diet, having a healthy diet and exercise is not enough. This is why most of the diet programs fail. They don’t target the emotional barriers that are preventing you from losing weight and keeping it off.

A survey of over 1300 American psychologists in 2012 shows that EMOTIONS are the TOP obstacle to lose weight.

This proves that you need to address the emotional side that is affecting your ability to reach your perfect weight, to be successful in your efforts.

What is the origin of those emotions that are stopping you from losing weight?

Your brain is an organism that is moved by emotional experiences, and based on the information stored in your memory centre your brain will dictate your food behaviours.

The relationship with food as a child, a teenager as well as your parents’ relationship with food affect your eating behaviours.

Let’s learn the truth about weight loss.

• For example, when you were a child every time you felt sad, unhappy your parents gave you cookies, chocolate to make you feel better, what we call an instant gratification.
  
  Due to that you started to associate cookies, sweeties, chocolate to happiness, feeling good.
  
  Later, as an adult now, you will have the same behaviour. Every time you feel sad your mind encourages you to have cookies, chocolates to make you feel better.
  
  Why?
  This is what you have imprinted in your memory bank, and because it only gives you instant gratification you keep eating until you feel full. Then you to feel frustrated because you ate too much, and you eat even more because you feel sad. It’s a vicious cycle!
  

• Another situation that happens many times is related to the role of weight in your life. Maybe you have been harassed when you were a child, a teenager and you formed this belief: if I’m overweight I become less attractive, and as a result I’m safe.
  
  Now the imprint you have formed in the brain is that by being overweight you are protected, you are safe.
  
  Whatever information you store in your memory centre, your brain will do anything to make sure you are safe and that your behaviours match your beliefs.
  
  In this case, it will convince you to eat more than what you need, feel attracted to food and even lose motivation to go to the gym or practice any kind of exercise.

Remember: The number one job of your mind is to keep you safe, no matter what!

How to unlock these beliefs?

After repeating so many times these behaviours and thoughts, it creates a strong imprint in your memory centre that makes it difficult to change it consciously.

You might try to change your habits, but you will notice that gradually you will go back to the old habits.

Why does this happen?
You see, because you have a different imprint running at your subconscious level, and when there is a dissonance between conscious and subconscious mind, the subconscious mind always prevails.

The SOLUTION is to target first the emotional barriers, identity the causes that are leading to this behaviour and give better suggestions.

Now, the suggestions given must be aligned with what you want to achieve, which is to reach your perfect weight and maintain it.

With regular practice you will gradually imprint a new set of beliefs in your memory bank that will become the new default beliefs.

As a result, because you now have coherence between both minds, you are in a better position to lose weight and keep it off.

You see, the truth about weight loss is hidden but you can successfully overcome it if you target your emotional barriers first, and this is where I can help.
