Let me warn you now.
Reading this article could result in the reversal of obesity
in our world! Are you ready to be part of that solution?
Wow!!!! Did you get that title? Maybe you need to go back and read it again, eh?
Wait. Let's do this the way it needs to be done. Grab a pencil or pen. Write the
word "thinking" on a piece of paper. Now say the word out loud... thinking.
Again please... thinking. One more time if you would. It will help bring about a
fantastic result for your life... thinking. Now draw a thick diagonal line between
the first 'n' and the 'k'. Please read the two words you've just unveiled inside
of the word thinking. THIN KING!!!
Thinking is thin king!! You've uncovered
the secret to being thin. As a matter of fact, you've uncovered the KING of the
secret to being thin and it's been living inside the word for centuries!!!
All these years we've been counting calories, carbs and fat grams. We've been tossing
back diet pills, eating pre-packaged meals, and listening to the newest diet guru
or fitness expert. The trouble with these solutions is that virtually every new
program that comes along or every guru that talks out there is preaching what to
do with food, how to prepare food, or very simply, what food to eat! The fitness
experts are screaming (sometimes quite literally) at us to push ourselves, push
ourselves more, more, MORE!!
"Calories in, calories out," they bellow. "You just need to burn
off whatever you put in!" The trouble here is that someone with weight to lose
most often puts exercise near the bottom of the list of things they desire to do.
In all honesty, until we fall in love with the benefits of fitness, most people
WITHOUT weight to lose feel the same way.
As a veteran in the business of weight loss and fitness since 1982, I find all of
this food and fitness focus ridiculous! I don't even like to tell people I'm in
the weight loss industry. I tell them I'm in the weight loss, weight gain, weight
loss, weight gain industry because until I put two and two together, there hasn't
been a weight loss solution that's permanent.
It seems with every year that passes there are more and more "answers"
and less and less results. Well, unless you count obesity climbing as a result,
because that's exactly what's happened. The reason is so elementary that once I
explain it to you, you may just want go back to all those folks who sold you a diet
and ask them, "What on earth were YOU thinking?"
Don't do that though. The fantastic news is that once you're equipped with this
information, your life is going to change. Know that once you begin to realize how
big a role thinking plays in being thin, you will discover it's actually easy to
lose weight and keep it off. You're about to learn that everything you ever needed
in order to lose weight permanently was inside you all along. It's not what your
friends have told you, things like, "Why don't you just push yourself away
from the table?"
Let's look at the three examples we've talked about. One was to focus on a way of
eating, or the diet that was going to make you thin. Another was exercise, movement
that would burn off calories. The last one was the classic pushing one's self away
from the table. Now here comes the fun part!
Imagine you're walking on a swinging bridge, a wooden and rickety swinging bridge.
Picture the bridge suspended 10,000 feet above a rocky ravine. One last thought
to add to the story. You are terrified of heights. Now, somehow you manage to get
yourself to start walking across. In your mind reverberate the words, "Don't
look down, don't look down. Whatever you do, DON'T LOOK DOWN!" What do you
feel compelled to do? What, to your horror, do you find yourself doing? Yep!! You're
looking down!! The VERY thing you DON'T want to do, you're saying to yourself over
and over again.
