Well yourenot alone. The national center for health statistics suggests that over 64 % ofAmericans are overweight and that figure is growing every year. Thereare currently over 300 books on dieting and over 16,000 variations ofdiets from which to choose. People spend over $40 billion a year onevery magic potion or pill that they think will help them lose theweight they hate. Unfortunately, 95% gain back all the weight only toonce again look for the next hot new diet. John Assaraf, one of the worlds leading optimum performance experts,suggests we look at the cause of this epidemic instead of relying ondiets and temporary weight loss tricks.People dont understand how their brain functions and therefore gainall the weight they lose 99% of the time, said John Assaraf. Todiet using will power and exercise is absolutely the worst way totake off the weight you hate, if you want to keep it off for good." Will power is a very short-term solution for weight loss since it iscontrolled by the conscious mind. The latest scientific researchshows that the non-conscious, conditioned side of your personalitycontrols five sixths of your behavior and therefore your long-termresults. This means that 83% of the time you are acting automatically at anon conscious level and explains why you regain all your weight back.For permanent weight loss, you must re- train the 5/6th your brain ifyou really want to keep it off. AMYGDALAA recent discovery has to do with your amygdala. This part of yourbrain doesnt like change and will release neuro-transmitters anytimeyou try to change something in your life like your weight. It picksup any deviation from your normal weight and basically causes you torevert back to your old patterns of thoughts and behaviors. It worksexactly like the thermostat in your home that automatically picks upany change in room temperature and then automatically corrects it.This explains why people on diets often go on eating binges evenwhile they are on their diet.Through the years we become conditioned to a certain internal weightset point Once this is done we dont have to think about theday-to-day food intake and activities we need to do to maintain ourinternal image. This is exactly how we form our habits. Once anyhabit is ingrained in our brain we function automatically withoutthought to maintain that internal image. If you dont like yourcurrent weight, you must break your old patterns and old conditioningat the non-conscious level or face the pain of the yoyo syndrome. Your internal mental system operates exactly like the mechanism thatkeeps airplanes, missiles or boats on course once they have set theircoordinates into the system.The outer body is only an expression of the internal image. If youwant to see permanent changes on the outside, you must re-train themental image on the inside first. The most recent research suggests that it takes about 30 days ofeveryday mental training to re-train the brain if you want longlasting and permanent weight loss. By doing a few simplevisualization exercises seeing yourself at your perfect weight, youstart to recondition your internal image and you begin to erase theold image. The more you do this the faster youll see results. The good news isthat you cant get a brain hernia if you overdo it. POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONSAnother simple technique you can use is a written positiveaffirmation. For example, declare:·I now weigh xxxx. ·My body fat is xxxxx. ·I feel and look great·I am at my ideal and perfect weight nowIf you repeat reading this and really seeing it on the screen of yourmind for at least 30 days, youll have a far superior chance ofkeeping to your ideal weight. You can also cut out photos of the bodytype you like and paste your picture to it and review it asfrequently as possible.The reason for using present tense affirmations is simple. Thenon-conscious side of your brain does not know the difference betweenan actual event and a lie or an imagined one and, it also does notunderstand the future. Once it is conditioned through repetition andreal life or imagined experiences, it will immediately make theoutside match up with the internal image.
