LEARN HOW TO USE YOUR MIND AND EMOTIONS HOW DO WE LOSE WEIGHT IN OUR MINDS? We lose weight in our minds by releasing certain behaviors, habits and attitudes toward food and our bodies. This is most effectively accomplished at the level where these behaviors, habits and attitudes reside. That level is the subconscious mind. 
The subconscious mind doesn't just occupy the brain. It resides in the entire body. Every cell, tissue, organ, nerve and fluid carries the body's intelligence. This means that every image, thought, concept and belief share living space with many other bodily systems and functions. This is why we feel lovesickness in our hearts, hunches in our gut and distress in our necks and shoulders. It is also why we may try to satisfy emotional needs with food. This is about regaining the natural intelligence that our bodies need to be fit, healthy and vital. It is about reclaiming the energy lost to unhealthy stress while redirecting the powerful subconscious mind to release weight and activate new habits, behaviors and attitudes. This results in optimum health and personal performance without struggle. This program is not about dieting, will power, exercise plans or other strategies that you may have tried in the past. Instead you will begin the process of creating a mind and body that is retrained to release excess weight. You will have a refreshed body image and a new, healthy relationship with stress and food. You will live comfortably in your fit, trim and healthy body. Lose weight, keep it off and feel great about your body without dieting! Weight Loss For the Mind is a proven process developed by Clinical Hypnotist Joseph R. Giove. You will reduce stress and enjoy new eating habits all the while developing a body image that allows you to release excess body weight permanently without dieting. Additional Topics Covered:
Your Body Image We are born with a positive, healthy relationship with food. Guided by instincts that evolved over millions of years, we knew as infants when to eat and when to stop. Then we formed certain perceptions and relationships with food. Our perceptions are shaped by our families, early experiences, emotions, the media and peers. In response to these influences, many of us develop an unhealthy relationship with food and a negative image of our bodies. Unconsciously, we reinforce these patterns, self-soothing emotional needs with food, rendering most weight loss attempts unsuccessful. Ultimately, the differences between newborn babies and adults are beliefs and perceptions, and how these have animated their bodies. Consider that these perceptions form an internal body image that is embedded in the entire body. If we can improve this body image, we regain the body's intelligence and effortlessly function nearer to optimal health, fitness and performance, on all levels. "Not only have I reached my goal weight but I feel great and my cholesterol and triglyceride levels, which were out of sight, have returned to normal levels. Thanks to you, I am a winner all around. It was the best value for my money that I ever received, and I have not hesitated to tell my friends about you and our success." --A. Krakower The Stress Connection Researchers have found that stress can cause an increase in visceral adipose tissue (VAT), or fat within the abdominal cavity. Here is how it works: A chemical messenger called serotonin plays a significant role in producing our cravings for complex carbohydrates and sugars, two of the largest contributors to unhealthy weight gain. Serotonin and other neurotransmitters are produced by our bodies as "feel good" hormones. Under stress, we do not have enough of these hormones and we become motivated to "self-soothe" by behaviors that lead to the increase of serotonin. Overeating of carbohydrate and fatty-rich foods, or "comfort foods" such as candy bars or ice cream, significantly increases these feel good hormones. Many addictions like smoking, alcohol and drugs are also attempts to self-soothe and increase serotonin. However, since eating is socially acceptable and readily available, it is an unhealthy, addictive behavior that is easily perpetuated. This is compounded by the fact that in the last one hundred years we have seen a thousand fold increase in the factors that cause stress. Almost in direct proportion, we have also seen dramatic increases in chronic disease and weight gain. It is common knowledge now that stress is a precursor to weight gain and obesity. Therefore mastering stress is crucial for easily shedding weight while creating and leading a fit and healthy lifestyle. |
