How To Rid Yourself Of Negative Diet Patterns

The power of the mind has been well known to successful and fulfilled people for centuries. Hypnotists and other sub conscious mind experts have developed ingenious ways to bypass the conscious mind and speak directly to the sub conscious. Hypnosis is often used to help people achieve their weight loss goals, and in this article I will show you how to do that without using a hypnotist or paying out high fees.

The sub conscious mind is the most powerful force in any human being. If you remember when you first learned to drive you had to keep thinking about everything that was essential to keep the car driving how you wanted it to. Gears, mirrors, indicators, steering and many other factors had to be constantly thought about. After a while though, without realising it, all of these become a habit. You repeat them so many times that your conscious mind no longer has to think about them; your sub conscious keeps running on auto pilot so you carry out the manoeuvres.

What then does this have to do with weight loss? Well, by using a concept called “auto suggestion” you can help your sub conscious mind “reprogram” yourself to stick to diets, eat healthier foods, enjoy working out (seriously) and much more.

The reason so many people fail to lose weight is because they automatically program themselves for failure each and every time they try a new diet. Because of disappointing experiences with shoddy diet programs in the past they often tell themselves “This won’t work for me” and give up after a few weeks. Think about whenever you’ve tried to diet in the past - how long did you stick at it? Probably not long enough, if you’re honest with yourself!

The technique I am going to teach you now will enable you to starve yourself of these negative thought patterns that you are constantly bombarding your sub conscious mind with, and retrain yourself to be more positive about your weight loss . This in turn will enable you to develop resilience that won’t let you give up whenever a diet doesn’t show instant and massive results.

Your emotions and thoughts are like signals. Whenever you feel bad about weight loss or dieting and have thoughts such as “I’m always going to be overweight” stop what you’re doing and follow the following steps.

Step One. Think about what it is that makes you feel you’ll always be overweight. You’ll get an image come into your mind. It may be of you feeling down about an unsuccessful diet , or you in the future not having lost any weight.

Step Two. Pay attention to this image. This is your subconscious telling you what thought is holding you back in your quest for dieting. This is the image that you consistently put into your sub conscious; without realising it you have programmed yourself to think this way and that’s why it is so easy to give up on diets when things get a little tough.

Step Three. Drain all the colour out of the image. Shrink it and move it into the distance. If it happens to reappear repeat the process. Drain it, shrink it and put it into the distance.

Step Four. Replace the image with an image of what you really want to be like - fit, healthy and at your perfect weight. Get emotionally involved with the image. Think of how great it would feel to have lost all the weight you want to. Make it full colour and bring it closer to you.

Step Five. Hold your thumb and middle fingers together when you feel that rush of excitement about the new future you.

Whilst this may all sound a little crazy to you, this a well recognised technique for programming your sub conscious. If you do this every time you feel a little down about weight loss or have any negative thoughts it will soon become a habit.

Eventually you will have created “a mind anchor” so that you can press your thumb and middle fingers together and get the rush of excitement about your new, slim self. Any time you feel negative about weight loss you put your fingers together and your sub conscious will recognise this habit and use it to your advantage.

Ok. I do understand that this may seem a little “way out there” but this is based on the genuine science of Neuro Linguistic Programming. This is not some pie in the sky idea thought up by a crazy lunatic but is based on the science of the mind, and it really works in reprogramming yourself. Just be determined, give it a go and stick at it- then prepare to be amazed!

How To Eat and Get Thin

Most diet programs rely on the fact that you stop eating so much, although they seldom put it so bluntly! In actual fact, the real key to losing weight is to actually eat more and many experts are now coming round to the idea that in addition to the three main meals of breakfast, lunch and dinner, you should also have some between meals snacks.

In between your usual three main meals each day you should add in three small snack breaks. The reason for this is really fairly obvious - the less hungry you are through the day the less you’ll feel the need to reach for a chocolate bar once the first hunger pang sets in.

Additionally, diets that actually restrict how much you eat do more harm than good because you are effectively starving your body. By doing this you actually end up storing even more fat as your body attempts to conserve its energy.

The key here is not how much you eat but what you eat. You may thoroughly enjoy eating pizza six times a day – but obviously that is not going to do you any good with regards to your weight loss goals! Instead, by knowing what represents the 'right foods', you can actually eat more and yet weigh less. Remember that a healthy body can be created in the kitchen.

Another misrepresentation when it comes to diet programs is that the choices of what you have to eat are often bland and boring. Only if you want them to be - they really need not be! As long as your main meals consist of healthy foods, the odd little snack of your favourite food won’t do too much harm. Eat healthily all week and then once a week go nuts and have your favourite food no matter what it may be.

One of the biggest mistakes people make is skipping meals completely and then gorging themselves to feed their hunger. Sometimes this can’t be helped – particularly if you have to work a long day and do not have the chance to eat regularly; however this will result in unwanted fat.

Rather than having three large meals a day, try breaking them up into six smaller meals - each two to three hours apart. This will not only give you more energy throughout the day but it will enable your body to process the food in good time and therefore you will be able to burn calories naturally throughout the day.

It is quite pointless following a diet plan that makes you unhappy. Many of the fad diets focus on quick results by ensuring you hardly ever eat and when you do, it might as well be rabbit food. This will just make you unhappy and feeling tired and listless all the time. Instead try to focus on eating regularly and having the odd treat here and there. By doing this, coupled with a simple exercise plan, you will soon notice that you actually eat more and lose weight, at the same time as increasing your energy levels throughout the day.

Just as we often need a little help when we are feeling down or anxious, we may also need some help to kick start the dieting process into being. There is nothing at all wrong with this – in fact a supplementary aid can give you the necessary feeling of well being that allows you to then get going with your diet and actually start to enjoy it and, of course, make progress. One of the most important factors during dieting is making sure you keep yourself healthy – poor health will inevitably result in a lack lustre attempt at losing weight. There is an excellent product on the market that may help you both with losing weight and improving your overall health – and currently it may be possible to obtain a free sample of this [while the promotion runs] just click on http://www.safeweightlossplan.com for more information, and your free sample.
