Easy Weight Loss With Just Your Mind

The secret to easy weight loss comes form your mind, not from a diet. Diet plans are a way to focus your mind. As you know, it is human nature to seek pleasure and avoid pain. Your subconscious mind is conditioned and programmed that way and that is why it is so easy to fail at losing weight using traditional methods.

You have to give up treats you love, starve yourself, change your eating habits, monitor everything you eat and more, all in the name of pleasure. But your subconscious mind knows that as pain and will stop you from hurting yourself. You end up feeling like a helpless victim with no willpower.

The simple solution is to capitalize on your natural tendency to seek pleasure by reversing the process. If you are like most people, the reason you want to lose weight is to look and feel better than you currently do. So you are saying, "If I lose weight, I will feel good." If you reverse that to, "If I feel good, I will lose weight," you change your focus to the pleasure of feeling good and away from the pain of dieting.

A little mental trickery will manifest your desired weight, quickly and easily. And you will feel good every step of the way!

How does feeling good make you lose weight? Because you're not doing something you despise like dieting. You are doing something you enjoy like feeling good. When you feel good, you will do the right thing and eat in moderation, and you'll develop willpower to avoid those extra snacks you crave. Remember that what you really crave is the good feeling you get from eating and not the snacks themselves. You won't be depriving yourself of the joy you get from eating if you already have joy. In addition to feeling good, you are going to gain a lot of energy. What happens when you have a lot of energy? You become very active. When you're active, you burn calories and lose weight.

Your metabolism and your weight is directly related to your vibrational energy. The higher your vibration, the more active you become internally, and burn more calories. When you are purposely trying to raise your vibration, you must purposely think about the things that will give rise to happy feelings. Happy feelings are stress-free feelings. Peace and love should be at the top of your list. Here's some examples, "It is stress-free and peaceful in the current moment, I love my family so much, I love getting more energy just by thinking, I love the new me, this is the easiest way to lose weight ever, I feel energized alert and focused, I feel peaceful and relaxed."

Take charge of how you want to feel and don't be a victim of circumstances. When you constantly tell yourself "It is so hard to lose weight," "I'm fat and no matter how hard I try, there's nothing I can do about it," "Other people can eat anything they want and not gain weight, and I just have to look at food and I gain 10 pounds," "Dieting is pure torture," "I love food but food hates me," "I just have to accept that this is the way I am and if people don't like it, oh well," "I guess I have the fat genes in me," and on and on, you reinforce your position as a helpless victim.

Whatever you believe is true, is true. It may not be true for other people, but that's okay. It's all about you when it comes to feeling good, being happy, and obtaining your ideal weight. If you create some empowering subconscious beliefs, you'll shed pounds like magic, effortlessly. You can say, "I lose weight easily now," or "By being happy, I lose weight." It just has to be believable and give you a happy feeling when you say it.

Use the power of visualization, by seeing yourself the way you want to look in the future, as if it is right here and now. You can have imaginary conversations with friends and relatives, saying things like, "I can't believe how much weight I lost with my new happiness plan," or "I was skeptical at first but then started losing weight just because of my subconscious belief that losing weight is easy now."

You can create a picture album that acts like a vision board only better. A typical vision board contains all the things you want in the future. You can have one that's better by including what you currently already have. As you know, ultimately, it's really not the actual thing that you want, it's the good feeling you're going to get by having it. The best way to attract it into your life is by generating the good feeling as if you already have what you desire. That can sometimes be a bit challenging to get the feeling before you have it. But if you have your future desire included with what you already have, you'll be able to look at all the pics with the same good feeling.

Keep your album to about ten pics. The last pic should be of you, the way you want to look after losing weight. There are a number of apps that you can get to make a picture of you look thinner. Or you can get a picture of a thin person's silhouette to pretend is you. You can be holding a sign that shows your weight goal, or perhaps, "I did it!" Right before you go to sleep, look at your album, as well as anytime you're feeling low throughout the day. As you look at each pic, say, "I love _____." By the time you get to the last pic of your future desire, you will have generated a happy feeling. Be sure to refer to your future desire as if you already have it now.

You have the power to be, to do, or to have anything you desire. All physical manifestations start in your mind. Where you are currently at in your life is the result of what was previously in your mind. Where you will be in the future will be the result of what you are thinking now. Food for thought.

Easy Weight Loss The Bespoke Way

Be careful of whose advice you take if you want to lose weight. A work colleague explains that you need to sack the carbs. Your neighbour is adamant that you should not eat in the evening. Another friend telephones you and explains that one meal per day is the only way to lose weight.

The problem is there is so much advice out there, who is right?

Whose advice should you follow?

Can you really lose a shed load of weight in the next 30 days?

If you want to lose weight and not pile it back on then you are in for a treat. This is weight loss the easy way, without starving yourself. You need to know how many calories are allowed in your diet and then work out a suitable exercise plan that will burn the calories off and then some more. Burning into your excess calories is the key.

Although diets are all about reducing calories and eating smaller portions, you need to try and stop the hunger feeling. The pangs, the feeling that you just can't go on. Allow yourself to get into this state and you will soon be back to your old ways snacking on anything and everything that is available. That is why I believe that you are best to enjoy 5 smaller portioned meals balanced out over the course of a day if possible. You will still be only eating the same amount of food as three meals but, you would have less time to think of the foods that you have given up in between meals. A top tip is to drink a lot of water before during and after your meals. Always keep an apple at hand. You may be surprised at how filling an apple and a glass of water can be. An apple could well save your diet.

No one diet suits all. You need to plan a bespoke diet that suits your age, your body type, your gender and your physical activity level. A bit of research will go a long way. You will find out how many calories you are allowed and use this information to build a diet that fully fits your requirements. All of this data is available online and for free. All it takes is a little research and a lot of common sense. You will be able to work out how many servings of fruits, vegetables, low fat dairy products and other protein rich foods that you are allowed each and every day. Try to keep your diet as varied as possible food wise and colour wise.

Cut down on the salt. Sorry I know that many people find that adding salt to a meal adds flavour but it has been proven that it is bad for your health plus it makes you both hungry and thirsty. Find out how much salt you are allowed daily and stick to it. Otherwise you may find that it is also bloating you up.

Cut out the pop, be it juice or fizzy. They nearly all contain sugars and other fattening additives. Check the labels if you just have to have one.

Always sit down to eat and make sure that all foods other than the food on your plate is well out of eyesight. There is no need to punish yourself.

Tracking what you have consumed, your moods and how you feel during and after meals will help you to analyse what foods are best for you and which may be causing problems. This will further allow you to fine tune your bespoke diet.

A low calorie soup before your main meal will help you to consume less. You will feel more contented and will find that eating two meals instead of one is more appealing and less like a typical starve yourself to death diet.

Take your time when eating. Taste your food and relish it. Your body needs time to react to your meal. The slower you eat the more contented you will feel with your meal. If you have rushed your food all through your life you will find that this takes practice. Eating fast keeps you feeling hungry and wanting more.

Do not eat your evening meal too late. Eating late will pile the weight on! Hogwash! Utter nonsense, but beware there is a truth in it. Eat late by all means but make sure that you do not go to bed for a couple of hours as your body needs to fully digest the food first. This leads me to my next point, sleep. It is important that you get 8 hours of quality sleep. Rest is good for you and helps in your well being and weight loss. So although you can eat late you still have to factor in a two hour gap and 8 hours sleep so an average working person will need to have consumed their evening meal by 21.00 (9.00pm), stay up till 23.00 (11.00pm) then sleep till 07.00 (7.00am) or similar. But, beware too much sleep is just as bad.

If you are like most people and lead a busy life your best option with your diet is to prepare as much of your weekly diet as you can on your day off and then cut it up, cling film it etc and then place it in the fridge and freezer accordingly. This way most if not all of the preparation work has been done for the rest of the week.

Adopt a positive attitude and tell yourself you can, you will. Think positive and treat yourself to a new set of clothes as you lose weight and reach your first goal. New clothes will help you to feel good about yourself and will help you to successfully reach your next goal.

Make sure that breakfast is your main meal. Studies show that the majority of slim people enjoy their breakfast. Your breakfast should be the biggest meal of the day. It is breakfast that is not only your first meal of the day after 8 hours of sleep but will keep you from feeling hungry through the day. If you skip breakfast, make sure that you try this and you will soon be feeling the benefits in more ways than one.

As well as following your diet, you will need a good exercise plan that will help you burn those calories off but do not make the two classic mistakes

1. Although exercise is good for you do not think that you can eat more as you have burnt more than enough calories. Too many people believe that exercising burns off a boat load of calories, sadly this is not the case. Stick with your calorie allowance. Do not cheat yourself.

2. Do not create an excessive workout plan. Unless you are already into these type of exercise routines. Slowly work your way into a nice average workout plan that is neither too easy nor too hard. Apply a little moderation and devise an exercise plan that you will stick to. Too hard and you will soon give up.


I hope that this article has given you food for thought and will help you to plan a successful diet for yourself. One that not only works but will also help you to feel good about yourself.
