“How I Lost 28 pounds of fat in less than 3 months—and how you can too!”

Well, I finally did it! I practiced what I preached and shred 2 stone of ugly fat. So was it easy? Yes, I have to say it was a lot easier than I imagined. But to be honest the diet worked too well, because the weight just fell of me. Here’s what happened…

…I found an old book on my bookshelf. Dusted it off, sat myself down and read it. Inside the book I discovered a diet that has literally changed my life. Now, I did make a few changes to the diet: I made it even easier to stick too, but the basic concept was the same.

I also began to exercise in a new way— just 20 minutes a week! I felt fantastic! It “never” seemed like I was on a diet. My energy levels soared—and are still soaring. Will it work for everyone? Yes, it probably would, but even though it’s a very easy diet to follow, it still takes discipline. Let’s face it, LOSING WEIGHT DOES TAKE DISCIPLINE!

This diet might not suit everyone, because it’s 90% vegetarian. You “can eat meat” on this diet, but part of the reason it works is because of the lack of it…
Let me explain…

…It’s not about religion, being spiritual, or being kind to animals. It’s all about digestion: When we dramatically reduce our meat intake our digestive system seems to work better. Everything just seems to flow—yes, that applies to the bowels as well.

Normally I struggle to keep the weight off once I reach my target, but with this new way of eating it is so much easier. I have more energy. I enjoy better bowel movements. My skin is clearer and— most important—I stay lean.

Next time: I’ll tell you what and how I eat to stay lean.

Until next time

How to master weight control

We don’t usually associate weight loss with mastery. Most of us think like this: I want to lose weight, so I’ll go on a diet. That’s it, we check out the latest diet fad and try and stick to it. Most of us know what happens next: we try— we fail— and we try again. For many it becomes a vicious circle…



…most never master the art of lasting weight control…here’s why:



Human beings in general tend to be motivated by the quick fix. We are not into delaying gratification. We want it now. Not tomorrow, or next week, but now. We’re too busy, too stressed and life’s just too short. That seems to be how it is for many, but there is a better way…



…the path to mastery (of anything) is not always easy. It takes commitment, patience, and it takes desire. But when we’re able to do this our life starts to change—for the better— and with it, our self-esteem too.



So how do we master the habit of weight control? First we have to find out what works and what doesn’t: For example, science tells us that the number 1 reason we gain weight is because we consume more calories than we need. We also know that the best form of exercise for burning fat is high intensity exercise.



To master control of our weight we need a plan that we can follow for the rest our lives—not some fad diet that we get bored with. When it comes to exercise, we have to be realistic about the routine we follow. We can’t expect to “suddenly” work out every day for 2 hours, 7 days a week. Or can we expect to “suddenly” live on 600 calories a day. It’s a lifestyle change we need.



So to summarise: Get the facts about what really works. Forget fad diets. Choose a way of eating that you can follow for the rest of your life. Find a mentor, or coach who can show you the way, then practice, practice, practice…that’s how you become good at anything, and that includes controlling your weight.



Until next time.

Valuable NEW insight into effective weight control

There’s an old saying that goes “There’s no such thing as mistakes in life, just lessons”.

Most of us have made the common mistake of looking for the quick diet fix. And many of us have launched ourselves into an excessively hard exercise programme only to become injured, or just plain bored, usually within weeks. Or, we’ve gone on some fad diet that’s almost impossible to stick too.
Yet we seem to repeat the same mistakes again and again, that is, until we finally learn our lesson:

“There are no shortcuts to lasting weight control”. But there is one thing you can do to ensure your weight loss success and” its back up by scientific research”.
Before I tell you about it let me share something with you: About eighteen months ago I had a bit of a health scare: One Saturday, halfway through a tough gym session I become very disorientated and confused. It was a pretty scary experience, but it turned out to be to a positive episode in my life: Here’s why…

…This event led to a series of health checks…heart scans, brain scans, you name it. But nothing, I’m pleased to report, showed up. Anyway, this motivated me to make major new changes regarding my health. I’ve always been a bit of a health nut anyway, but during recent years I’ve noticed my weight has slowly ballooned. So here’s what I did about it:

“I exercised once every 7 days for just 20 minutes!”

Yes, that’s right, 20 minutes once each week. What’s more I did no cardio. That’s no running, walking, swimming, or cycling. So what did I do?

I performed 5 exercises every 5- 7 days. These exercises were done in a gym using machines and dumbbells. All these exercises had one goal, and that was to make me stronger. But what does this have to do with weight loss you might ask, the answer is—everything!

Recent research has proven strength training to be a major part of the fat loss puzzle. This is particularly true as we grow older, because after the age of around 30 years we start to lose muscle. But what most people don’t’ realise is that the more muscle we have the more fat we burn. This is because— muscle is active tissue— it burns calories. That’s why the more muscle we lose the fatter we get.

So as we age we need as much muscle tissue on our body’s as possible. By doing this, we stay leaner, healthier, and of course, we look better. But remember, diet still plays an important role: we still have to reduce the number of calories we consume.

I believe building stronger muscles will be the future cure for obesity. My personal experience has convinced me of this: “25 pounds of fat gone— in just 3 months”— and I’m keeping it off!
Now here’s the exciting thing: Research shows that it’s safe to strength train with weights, even if you’re 85 years old…

So if you’re interested in using strength training to reduce your fat levels speak to a personal trainer at your local health club or gym. It just might be your solution to lasting weight control.

Until next time.

How Just One Simple Change in Your Thinking can make You 100% Happier and Healthier!

This could be the most important article I’ve ever written…

…here’s why…

I’ve recently discovered the number one reason why most people get anxious, sad, and depressed.

It’s NOT lack of money. And it’s NOT being in a job you hate. It really is, much, much, more simple than that. And when I tell you, you’ll be stunned! Because, it’s such an obvious thing.

And you’ll be pleased to know that you can make yourself HAPPIER—IMMEDIATELY once you have the secret. You’ll instantly feel like a HUGE weight has been lifted from your shoulders. You find you’ll be able to focus on what YOU want. You won’t be re-active to the actions of other people any more.

You’ll be FREE—and in control of your life again.

In fact, I’m 100% sure that if you were to make this quick and easy change today, you’d get rid of 80% of your daily stress.

Just imagine, you’re feeling stressed and anxious. You’re not sure why. Then all of a sudden, you remember the secret. You make one tiny shift in your thinking, and then to your amazement, you relax…you feel at ease…and it seems like you don’t have a care in the world.

The Secret

Okay, I’ll put you out of your misery. ALL UNHAPPINESS IS CAUSED BY COMPARISION.

Before I explain, here’s a question: Are you in the habit of comparing yourself with others? If the answer is yes, then you’re probably making yourself more unhappy than you need to.

So what do I mean by comparison?

Here are a few examples:

“Why does Bill make more money than me? He's in the same business as I am”

Or, “Why is my figure not like Susan’s, I go to the gym just as much as her.” Or “All our friends have BIGGER houses than us— we’ve got to move.”

I’m sure most of us have had this kind of internal dialogue going on inside our heads at some time or another. But, when it becomes a habit, that’s when anxiety and unhappiness creeps in.

The curse of comparison

So now you know what I believe to be the no.1 reason we make ourselves anxious and miserable. Of course, I didn’t invent this idea, much has been written over the centuries about this subject. It’s just that now more than ever before, people tend to make themselves miserable with this negative way of thinking.

So, next time you catch yourself comparing yourself to others, just STOP, BACK UP, and remind yourself that it’s not about what others have got, it’s about what you have, and what you want to achieve in life. It doesn’t matter what everyone else has or what everyone does, it’s about YOU and your life.

Try it. You’ll be much happier. You’ll have less stress. And you’ll live a longer and healthier life too.

Until next time!

Procrastinating Again?

We all do it. We rarely know why. And yet, we feel helpless to do anything about it. Procrastination is crippling—and can potentially destroy our lives.

Let me give you a few examples: If you were to put off asking out the woman, or man of you’re your dreams, you could –and probably would—lose an opportunity to find happiness. If you took too long to make an important business decision, you would surely loose an opportunity to make money.

Imagine what would happen if you SUDDENLY STOPPED paying your mortgage— Scary thought!

Procrastination: The express train to a stressful life

If you want to crank up your stress levels—start procrastinating—trust me—it works! Okay, you’re probably thinking to your-self ‘NO THANKS’ but, this is what many of us do everyday of our lives. We put off important things, like making money, starting our diet, or even urgent stuff, like filling out our tax returns.

There may be times when delaying things serve a purpose: Putting off buying a new car, if your job is on the line, would be one good reason. Or, postponing your wedding, if you’re having second thoughts. These would both be good reasons for dragging your feet.

But on the other hand, if you put off looking for another job because you hate the one you’re in, nothing will change. You just stay unhappy doing the job you do. So how do we get ourselves moving?

Understand this: When you keep putting off something that is really important to you: Starting a new business, or pursuing a promising relationship, you could be re-acting to fear. Maybe you fear failure. Perhaps you fear the attention that goes with success. You might avoid taking a risk with a relationship because you don’t feel worthy enough.

Another reason we may procrastinate— is if we lack—or believe we lack the required skills to succeed. The trick is to gather just enough information and skill to get started. This will give you enough confidence to get going. Remember, starting can be the hardest part.

3 ways to beat procrastination

1. THINK AND DO IT NOW! In his great book ‘The Success System That Never Fails’ W. Clement Stone talks about his simple philosophy of success. Stone believes that when we desire to achieve something, we should first THINK, and then DO IT NOW! Remember, ACTION is the cure for IN-ACTION!

2. Make sure you have enough knowledge, and enough skill to get started. You can always add more as you go along. But the most important thing—is to START!

3. If you have an important goal, and you find yourself doing everything in your power to sabotage it, you may be experiencing fear. Spend some time exploring your thoughts. Discover whether you fear failure—or even success. It would be well worth your while doing a little self-analysis in this area of your life.

We all procrastinate at times. And it’s natural up to a point. But when we become crippled with fear—we need to pay attention.

Remember, life is precious. Life is short. Life is an adventure. So make sure you take action. THINK AND DO IT NOW!

Until next time!

7 Psychological Weight Loss Tricks

I usually know when people are trying to lose a few extra pounds for the summer. I know, because my book ‘Weight Loss the Forgotten Secret’ starts to sell like hot cakes again.

It’s understandable, just the thought of exposing over 90 % of my body to the world is a scary thought. So, what can we do to make ourselves look, and feel, sexier over the coming months?

Here’s what I recommend you do:

1. Start today! Don’t wait until tomorrow. There is no worse way to sabotage your goal than putting off starting your diet. It makes no sense! The sooner you start, the sooner you begin to see results.

2. Realise this: you never blow your diet. NEVER! If you succumb to the odd piece of cake, or chocolate, SO WHAT! If you think that you won’t EVER drift off your diet, and munch on a piece of pizza—or two, you’re wrong. You may hope you don’t have off days with your diet, but the reality is, you more than likely will. The secret is being able to get back on track again, and of course, avoid beating yourself up in the process.

3. Buy smaller plates. Yeah, I guess you know that already. But have you done it? If not— why not? … it works!

4. Get addicted to walking. It’s the best way to lose weight—period! Start off with 20 minutes a day, and then build up.

5. Make sure you get plenty of sleep. Research has shown that people who sleep for 5 hours or less tend to eat more. This is because when you sleep for 5 hours or less your body produces a hormone that increases your appetite. The good news is, you have another hormone that reduces your appetite when you sleep 8 hours or more.

6. Watch your stress levels. When we become stressed, most of us tend to overeat. It’s our way of coping. Take up yoga, or listen to some relaxation CDs. Do whatever you can to control your daily stress levels.

7. Eat slowly, ve-e-ry slowly! Recent research suggests that when we slow our eating speed down, we can reduce our weight by as much as 2 to 3 pounds a month!

That’s it. Now think about how you can use these tips to take control of your weight, starting today, of course.

Until next time
