Would you like to finally be in total control of your body weight? Would you like to know what you need to eat, what type of activity is right for you and other lifestyle tips to be and stay in control?
The amount of people overweight or obese is becoming a real problem today. Many of my clients come to me because they have tried everything else to lose weight, but have been unsuccessful.
But is it obesity really a problem?
According to a report in February 2004, published by the Royal College of Physicians, the Faculty of Public Health, and the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, over half the UK population is either overweight or obese in 2002 70% of men and 63% of women.
One in 5 adults is obese and obesity in 2 to 4 year old children almost doubled from 5-9% from 1989 to 1998, and in 6-15 year olds trebled from 5-16% between 1990 and 2001.
If current trends continue it is estimated that at least one third of adults, one fifth of boys, and one third of girls will be obese by 2020. I'm sure you'll agree this is a sorry state of affairs.
So Why is the Problem Getting Worse?
With all the Doctors, nutritionists, health clubs, slimming clubs and diet foods available, we are still getting fatter. So why is this?
There are two main reasons why. Firstly many experts only focus on their area of expertise, their own! For example, a nutritionist may focus on food. To ensure you will need to focus on the whole body.
Secondly, much of the advice given today is very misleading.
According to Rivera & Deutsch, "The Weight Loss industry is not making money because its efforts are working. It's making billions of dollars because they are not working"
So, what do you do?
To get yourself fired up, think of what you will be like once you achieve your ideal body shape. What would you feel like? How would life be different? What would you be able to do then that you can't do now? Think about it for a few minutes? Write it down. No now, write it down! No, really, write it down right now.
OK, well done!
When I ask my clients these questions, they often tell me they can wear nice clothes, play with their children, play sports, go dancing, be more confident, have more self esteem, look more attractive and feel more secure in their relationship.
Below are my top ten solutions to achieve your ideal weight. They have been listed in an order that you may find useful to follow:
1. Set yourself three goals (no more) per week to put the advice below into practise.
2. Drink at least 2 litres of good quality water per day.
3. Contact a Metabolic Typing Advisor to find out what foods are right for your biochemical individuality so you can lose weight and to support you along the way.
4. Eat according to your Metabolic Type using as much organic and non-processed foods as possible.
5. Avoid consuming wheat, pasteurised dairy, processed salt and sugar.
6. Do a combination of resistance and aerobic exercise on alternating days.
7. Get to bed each evening by 10-10.30pm and sleep for 8 hours per night.
8. Have down-time each day to relax, even if it's only ten minutes. Meditation, Yoga and Tai Chi are good ways to relax. Work up to 30-minutes per day where possible. Please note, television is not relaxing to your body, it only stresses it further.
9. At the end of each week, assess your goal achievements, give yourself feedback. Acknowledge successes and pat yourself on the back, no matter how small the success. If you had any challenges, write down what you can do in the following week to overcome it? Write down your three goals for the following week. Repeat weekly.
10. If you have tried all the above for at least 3-months and have still not achieved any results, contact a BodyTalk™ Practitioner or Emotional Freedom Technique Practitioner to see if emotional blockages are halting your progress.
Good luck!
