you know one of the biggest challenges

people have with losing weight is

sticking to something for more than

about two or three weeks so in this

video I’m gonna show you some insights I

think you’re gonna find very interesting

we’re going to show you what’s really

behind this and give you some great

techniques so you can stick with it long

term okay so now if you could read this

that’s great if you can’t I’ll walk you

through it there’s basically about five

reasons why people go off the program

and can’t stick to it

they might get bored so they might eat

at night when there’s nothing to do or

during the day or in a weekend there’s

food in the fridge and they’re just

gonna go ahead and eat it all so this

might be stress eaters so people tend to

eat when their stress simply because

they’re they have to relieve a pressure

in their body so there’s something build

up they have to relieve it and certain

foods can increase serotonin and relieve

stress no results you know there’s a lot

of people who get to the point where

it’s not working as wheat whatever I

want because it’s it’s not working if I

go on a diet so might as well eat it and

enjoy myself right so that’s probably

the number one reason I see that people

have a hard time losing weight is

because they don’t stick with it simply

because they’re not saying change it’s

hard to stick with something for a

period of time if you don’t see results

social gatherings you have birthday

parties and events at work and you have

go out to dinner you have family you

have holidays all these social things

require you to eat certain foods and

then you have just straight cravings you

know you want it so that’s that’s really

the five reasons why people go off the

program so there’s a little bit of a

cycle that they go through they’re

tempted by that thing they have a

conversation in their head you know

should I do it

should I not do it should I do it and

they they try to talk themselves out of

it and almost the point when they say

they can’t have it

it makes them to want it more so when

you restrict people that doesn’t work

and then they invent a read

and why they’re doing it so that could

be well I’ll start on Monday you got a

dad something Mazel enjoy yourself or

I’ll drink water to flush out the the

fat the food that I’m eating you know

like that’s gonna help you flush out

those extra calories or they’ll say I’ll

exercise twice as hard or you know I

just want it there’s no justification

they just like they don’t even think

about it what’s the other one

it can’t be perfect all the time so

you’re gonna invent a reason why you do

it but mainly people do that because

they’re relieving some type of stress or

situation so then we have they eat it

they go ahead and give in and they eat

it they enjoy themselves for about one

or two minutes maybe longer and then

they kind of feel guilty about it

afterwards maybe I should have done that

and then they feel bloated and they feel

tired and their blood Sugar’s drop and

then they gain weight and then they

every time this cycle happens they lose

a little bit of your their mojo they

they can’t initiate or do it the next

time they lose that vitality so there’s

three main techniques so we’re going to

show you to get out of this trap because

it is a trap it’s a habit and it’s

reactive so we want to really bring your

awareness really high so you can get out

of this so let me show you the exactly

the three steps that you need to do okay

so here’s the three techniques the first

one is visualized and this is the an

interesting thing because when someone’s

going off-track and they’re doing

something as a reactive thing they’re

not really aware sometimes what they’re

doing they’re doing it and automatically

and this is just going to increase your

awareness so here’s what you do you

actually you visually visualize yourself

eating that piece of chocolate ice cream

whenever you visualize the texture in

the mouth be visualize the sensation on

your taste buds the sweetness the

creaminess you visualize the feeling

that would give you it’s going to bring

you up it’s going to make you feel

better

also you visualize what it’s going to

feel like about five minutes later you

know

let’s visualize eating okay enjoying it

and then feeling bloated so you want to

you want to take yourself to the

consequences of what happens not just

the pleasure part but really what

happens the next day were you you’re you

gained two more pounds and how you feel

and like you feel guilty you feel crap

so that’s what you really want to do and

then you ask yourself was that worth it

should I do it if you’re willing to

experience that go for it but the point

is that you want to think in

consequences and think what it’s going

to feel like after and then you can make

a judgement with judgment call it’s a

great technique so that’s the first one

the second one is called viewpoint you

know if I’m going to a grocery store and

I’m watching someone about to eat a

Twinkie or something and I’m standing

there in that aisle I’m looking at the

Twinkies from one viewpoint and that

other person is looking at it from a

completely different point of view I’m

looking at it from the point of view of

I know it’s in there there’s no

nutrients there’s a lot of chemicals

there’s a lot of preservatives there’s

basically it doesn’t fit my definition

of food which by the way comes from the

derivation meaning nutrients or

nourishment in other words food has to

have nutrients if it doesn’t have

nutrients it’s not really food it’s some

other thing on their viewpoint they’re

looking at it from the viewpoint of how

much pleasure can I get out of eating

that thing because it’s spongy sweet it

has cream filling I’m gonna feel great

it probably has MSG in it which is a

flavor enhancer or if it makes it taste

better than really is that’s what

they’re looking at from that viewpoint

of how much pleasure I can get so simply

by changing your viewpoint of looking at

food from the viewpoint of how will it

build my health or tear down my health

that might help in the techniques of of

maybe he’s not doing it so it’s really

changing the way you’re looking at

something and really keeping that

viewpoint of okay my agreement is I only

know only food right now the you can get

lots of pleasure from consuming health

foods you can the sensation of looking

good in your bathing suit the sensation

of maybe celery isn’t the most

but that you can create different things

that taste good but the point is

changing your point of view

okay third one is be proactive ask

yourself what problem am I trying to

solve well really when it comes down to

it all you’re trying to do is you’re

trying to relieve pressure inside your

body there’s some pressure in your body

whether it’s a stress pressure or some

urge or some craving that you have that

you have to fulfill and that’s a

sensation you’re trying to achieve maybe

you’re feeling down maybe you’re feeling

stressed so being proactive is being

preventative you’re basically going to

prevent that stress pressure in your

body

number one by keeping your blood Sugar’s

very very high okay so that means that

eat a very big breakfast to make sure

there’s some protein in there make sure

that you have enough like you don’t skip

breakfast that’s like the most important

thing maybe if a blood sugar problem you

eat six meals a day and make sure that

you’re eating enough so you never get

hungry because as you know if you’ve

ever been shopping when you’re hungry

you’re tired you’re always you need

something that you shouldn’t be eating

next thing to do is basically consume

food that gives you the same sensation

or a very similar sensation one thing

that works for me is Greek yogurt with

blueberries I mean that’s like eating

ice cream I mean it’s incredible you can

also put a banana with pecans in a

blender that’s really good I mean if you

have the Champion Juicer which has you

can make nut butters you can put peach

and banana or just frozen peaches and

put those through the nut butter grinder

and it comes out the most smoothing

delicious kind of sorbet that you’ve

ever had in your life it’s sweet it’s

totally edible you can eat it and it

will give you lots of pleasure another

one would be um I mean I might being

strange but avocados when they’re

freshly they’re they’re not when they’re

fresh but when they’re ripe enough

there’s nothing better for me than a

avocado that is perfectly ripe I’ll take

some salsa I’ll mix it in I’ll mix it

with some mayonnaise

and it makes an incredible topping for

some eggs in the morning I just love

that with some cheese that’s very

satisfying to me another thing maybe you

want to do would be um maybe you have

some popcorn with sea salt and butter

that will give you the crunchy sensation

other than eating cardboard so those are

some things that you can do and it’ll

give you a similar sensation or just

take some heavy cream organic and make

whipped cream out of it put just a tad

of stevia and maybe some vanilla

flavoring or almond flavoring make sure

it’s now make sure it’s natural and then

may maybe put some fruit in there I mean

these are things that you can do to be

proactive so you don’t have to fall

victim to the trap of craving
