Dieting Boot Camp

Millions of people have subjected themselves to what I lovingly call "Dieting Boot Camp."

It's where people punish themselves and struggle to lose weight through some Spartan regime that's doomed to fail.

They convince themselves, once again, that the way to lose weight is to diet. Their logic isn’t wrong, it’s just logic. Here's the rub: You didn’t gain weight logically and you won’t lose weight logically, at least not long-term. No one logically says to themselves, “I think I’ll go up 2, no, 3 pants sizes.”

Yet we convince ourselves that determination is the way to go, even though it has never worked before. The Grasshopper weighed in on this topic years ago when he said:

“Your discipline wanes when your beliefs remain the same.”

There is no question that eating less and exercising more will make weight drop off. That’s a fact.

It’s also a fact that if your underlying beliefs remain the same about food and beverage consumption and exercise, you'll pack that weight you lost right back on. Don’t believe me, ask Oprah. She's living testament that diets don’t work. But she keeps selling them to you.

Diets get a lot of bad press and rightly so. But let me sneak in a good word about diets. I think they are a great way to lose weight for an event. If you have a class reunion, a wedding, or some special function, you want to look slinky and sexy for, go on a diet. Just don’t expect to keep that shape much past the event.

To lose weight long term, you have to reset your pounds thermostat.

Pretend for a moment that you have a thermostat in your mind that controls your weight. (You really do).

Now imagine that you have the thermostat set for 70 degrees. Now further pretend that you open the windows on a cold day to let some smoke out of the kitchen. That cold air will drop the temperature in the house down, maybe 5 degrees. The thermostat doesn't know you opened the windows. All it knows is that its job is to maintain a temperature of 70 degrees. It will struggle and do everything in its power to get the temperature back up to 70.

Now you can appreciate the dilemma of dieting. Your pounds thermostat has to be readjusted to get lasting results.

I offer a FREE weight loss seminar on both my podcasting and YouTube channels. It works with the part of you that makes changes from the inside out vs. dieting, which works from the outside in.

The LOSE WEIGHT & KEEP IT OFF seminar and my Calm & Collected reinforcement recording work together to get you to lose weight from the inside out.

Stop struggling like that thermostat. Learn to reshape your mind and body so that you arrive at a natural, easy to maintain weight and leave the weight blame game and dieting behind.

Learn to change your underlying beliefs and give dieting boot camp a boot in the posterior.

I request that you find these recordings on my channels now and leave your dieting fatigue and fatigues behind.

All the best,

John
