FOOD is NOT the Enemy

Did you know that your brain controls the release of Fat Burning Hormones

after each meal? It's true.

Every time you eat something there are 2 types of hormones released into your bloodstream, and together they control Fat Burning and Fat Storage. Also, did you know that these 2 hormones are controlled by the foods that you eat? It's true.

Our Diet Manipulates Fat Burning HORMONES
so after each meal your body will produce a greater quantity of Fat Burning Hormones...........while Fat Storing Hormones are MINIMIZED as much as humanly possible.

That's why you'll be eating MORE THAN 3 TIMES PER DAY because to alter these hormones correctly you'll be required to eat MORE than 3 times per day.

You probably find it hard to believe that eating more than 3 times per day could be the solution to speeding up weight loss, right?

After all, most people believe that food is the "enemy" which makes them overweight.

But that's simply WRONG. Food is NOT the enemy.

So if Food is Not the Enemy, Then What is it?

Food is like a LIGHT SWITCH which can turn Fat Burning ON or OFF.

So even though it may seem like a contradiction to say that eating more often is the solution to weight loss............that's exactly what a good Dieting System is all about.

Of course, you must eat the right meals in the right patterns each day (since obviously you cannot eat chocolate 10 times per day and get skinny).

However, the bottom line is that you'll be eating MORE than 3 meals per day and after 20 or 30 days have passed you'll be much slimmer and lighter on the scale.

Don't believe it?

Well, you've already discovered that low calorie diets don't work.

So what does this tell you?

...It tells you that eating less is NOT THE ANSWER, and it tells you that the solution must be something totally different.

We know that there are *some* people who don't truly believe that they can change their own body eating more often, but please keep reading below with an open mind.

Being overweight does not just affect our bodies. It affects our minds and spirits as well. So on the path to wellness we need to pay attention to all of the parts of us that need help. When I fill up my board, I get a treat. For me that usually means a book. I am aiming for a professional haircut this next time. What will your reward be? And what will you keep track of? Get use to giving your self Body Pleasures Ask yourself what makes you feel good in and about your body. Make a list of all your favorite pleasurable bodily activities, ones that have nothing to do with the appearance of your body: a luxurious bath, a walk in nature, a particular piece of clothing, the feel of certain fabrics, certain colors and fragrances. Make a point of enjoying one or more of these every week.

Up the Water

· Blend a few ice cubes into your morning smoothie to up the water content. Water actually tastes different depending on whether it's ice cold, room temperature, or steaming hot. Vary the temperature for a change of pace! Drink up and enjoy! Rewarding Yourself Change is difficult and you deserve3 a pat on the back for all of your efforts. In fact, sometimes I actually reach around my body and give myself a pat on the shoulder! Try it – it works. Acknowledging your good efforts and hard work is very important. Reinforcing your sense of accomplishment and self-worth strengthens your chances of reaching your long-term goals. Try establishing a reward system for yourself. A reward should be something that feels special, that you don’t always give yourself. The reward is important because it is recognition of your efforts by you. Change takes energy and focus, and often you are the only one who can relate to how much effort you are putting forth to reach your goals, so acknowledging your personal effort can be central to your success with your program. Take a moment now to jot down some of your short-term and the rewards you can use to treat yourself when your goals have been accomplished. If you find yourself slipping at this or some future wellness journey, take heart: Many have been there before you and gone on to become great successes. Changing lifelong behaviors that have stopped working for you is hard and courageous work. Give yourself credit for you hard work, and forgive yourself for any small setbacks. Whenever you are learning something new, you may have to take a few steps backward to reassess your progress and your techniques before you can move more confidently forward to success. Minor failures are an integral part of the learning process. The important thing is to avoid getting stuck when you have a slip or two. One of the things that I do is take a big piece of paper and divide it into squares, and every time that I eat under 2,000 calories I check off a square or in my case put a sticker on the square and date it with the reason that I earned a sticker. I do the same thing if I remember to take my meds, <o:p>Try doing it for a week and experience the difference

The Shifting Calories Theory...

Your metabolism doesn't know how much food you'll eat tomorrow or the next day because those days have not happened yet.

Therefore, your metabolism always burns calories based on your eating habits during the past few days -- because it assumes that you'll continue to eat in the same general way.

Guess what? You're about to shock your metabolism by doing something you've never tried before -- you're going to do the OPPOSITE of what it expects you to do. You're going to NOT continue eating the same types of calories and meals for more than a couple days at a time, and you're going to lose a lot of weight by doing this.

To make this work you need to SHIFT the types of calories eaten then your metabolism will burn all of the calories eaten. Then, when it finishes burning those calories it will find the nearest available fat tissue on your body and burn that too...

To lose weight your diet menu needs to be SHIFTED every few days -- and this is something you've never tried before, and that's why you've never been able to change your body when dieting.

Of course, in order for this dieting technique to work you also need to eat foods which have been rated "Fat Burning Compatible" -- because the foods you eat must be easy to burn (so that your metabolism will burn them entirely and then switch to burning your fat tissue after that).
If you find the right daily menu each day so that you don't have to calculate anything while shifting your calories.
What does the Idiot Proof Diet Do?

The Idiot Proof Diet constantly alternates your menu between every possible type of calorie, constantly shifting from one type of calorie to the next, ensuring that the scale keeps dropping.
We call this diet the "Idiot Proof Diet" because there is no need for calorie counting or label reading


Eating Right. What this means is that you cannot get slimmer until you CHANGE your eating habits to something NEW and DIFFERENT, something which you've never tried before. For example, if you choose not

to begin using this diet and you keep eating your same meals.......then you'll be stuck with the SAME BODY forever. Your body will not change all by itself, because you won't wake up one morning and be thinner until you TAKE THAT FIRST STEP and try something new.

Interesting Fact: Did you know that your fat tissue REALLY can be burned away.......since it's actually MEANT to be burned?

It's true, and the only reason why fat tissue is being stored on your body is because your body's fat burning hormones are not being released after each meal in the correct amounts

Some people may need to lose 20 lbs. while others may need to lose 200 lbs, but if you're here then we know that you want to be slimmer......and the good news is that the right Diet will help you regardless of how much weight you need to lose.

Why? Because a real Diet System will continue to work time after time, and that's why it's so valuable. you can keep using it again and again to lose as much weight as you wish.

The MAIN Reason Which Prevents People From Losing Weight...

The main reason which prevents people from losing weight is ENDLESS procrastination.

Most people tell themselves that they'll begin dieting "next week" or "after some future holiday" (or some other excuse) -- and that let's them procrastinate even further.

::The Truth::

The truth is that it doesn't matter what month it is.

...And it doesn't matter what time of year it is either.........since it's foolish to wait until a particular month to get slim.

Why would you want to remain overweight until some future "month" or "time of year"?

Getting slim allows you to wear more attractive (and better fitting) clothes right now..........and that feeling is very worthwhile.

::Pull Out Your Calendar::

We encourage you to pull out your calendar and circle today's date. Then, count ahead 30 days and circle that day too. That day will be coming very fast, so why not be slimmer on that day?
Every journey begins with taking that first step.............and if you never take that first step then you'll never have a thinner and more attractive body.

What if we could show you a system of eating which was so different from anything else you've ever seen, that you'll notice a change in your body.

Forget about your past dieting failures for a moment. Just focus on one thought right now......

Believe it or not it's really possible to change your body and it has NOTHING to do with positive thinking.......because positive thinking all by itself won't remove a single pound from your body.

That's right...........if you want to get NOTICEABLY THINNER IN THE MIRROR then you need MUCH MORE than just "positive thinking".
