These days it seems as if weight loss advice is everywhere you turn. Everyone is an expert, or so they would have you believe. There
are as many “diet†programs as there are experts who want to peddle them. The medical field, for all the research and study of obesity and its related illnesses, has done little to stem the every expanding collective waistline. In fact, much of the advice that has been dispensed from within the medical industry itself has been self contradicting.
If the advice given by your personal physician contradicts the advice given by famous physicians, whom do you trust? If dieticians from one association – for example, the American Diabetes Association – disagrees with the experts within the American Heart Association, which do you listen to? If the thousands of weight loss clinics which promote everything from portion controlled meals, cookies, bars, low-carb, low-sugar, low-fat, calories counting, and everything in between, how is the average human being supposed to dig through to find the solution that will work for them?
Before you give up in despair, I want you to consider a few things. First, while each and every individual is unique, there are some physiological factors that are universal to every single human being. A one-size- fits-all approach is not necessarily the right way, our bodies have a tendency to correspond in certain ways that are universal.
Second, the food, diet, medical, and pharmaceutical industries have, collectively, more to gain by keeping Americans fat than they have by helping people get slim and healthy. The “cure†is best kept secret, otherwise the billions of dollars made at the mercy of desperate overweight individuals are at risk of being lost.
Thirdly, losing excess body fat and keeping it off is not just about what you do with your knife and fork. Human beings are complex. We are more than just what we do. We are products of our immediate and extended environments. 20, 30, or 40 years of conditioning have contributed to the sum of who we are and how we perceive ourselves.
The above three factors should be at the center of your focus as you begin the journey to gaining control of your life and your health. This book will give you the knowledge to successfully reach the body and health of your dreams, but it will not give you the ability. You ALREADY possess the ability. You just need the tools to apply it. Begin by acknowledging the fact that you have a lived enough life to understand much more than most so-called experts give you credit for. All you really require is the right information and the tools to use the information to help reach your health goals.
You may be wondering if it is really possible to reach the level of health and wellness you desire after many years of fruitless efforts. While it is ok to ask these questions, I hope that by the time you are done reading this book, that question will have been answered and the answer will be ‘YES!’
What you learn about correcting the imbalances in your body that have been keeping you from getting slim might shock and surprise you. I urge to remain open minded. I have literally had thousands of clients who have started out as skeptics, certain that the information I gave them could not possibly be true. We are generally trusting people.
We trust our doctors to give us all the medical information we need, we trust our government to regulate our food supplies, and we have trusted the weight loss corporations to deliver what they promised to deliver. Now is the time to start trusting something that has been far more reliable than all of those industries combined: ourselves.
