You Weigh How Much?

~ By Jan Tincher

Have you lost weight, but gained it right back again?

Do you want to lose weight, but nothing works. You’ve tried this, you’ve tried that. You’ve tried everything. NOTHING worked long term.

*** TIP *** Well, you know what? You haven’t tried EVERYTHING.

You haven’t, or you would have results. It’s that simple. So please don’t tell your brain you’ve tried EVERYTHING. Because that gives your brain no alternative. If it knows you’ve tried EVERYTHING and nothing has worked, then it stops looking for ways to lose weight. It just gives up. Do you want that? ***

On the up side, would you like to know how you can make a lasting change?

Here are three beliefs you MUST have to make a lasting change.

Something MUST change.

I MUST change it.

I CAN change it.

You must know in your heart that you MUST, not you *should* lose weight. You must think that something MUST change, not that something *should* change.

*Should* never happens. I really *should* go on a diet. Nope. It ain’t gonna happen. *Should* is not consistent. *Should,* you do when it’s convenient. Again, I say, *should* never happens.

If you MUST do something, then you find a way to do it. I MUST do it.

Some of you go to someone to have THEM do it for you, like a counselor, therapist, doctor, whatever. Guess what? If *they* do it for you, *they* might be the ones to lose the weight. You may too, of course, but it doesn’t last very long before you run into difficulty. Then you’re back to where you used to be, but there’s one big difference here. You tend to blame whoever it was that you went to. It’s *their* fault this didn’t work.

Don’t get me wrong. Going to someone for help is terrific, but if you’re not ready to take responsibility for the change, you might just as well save your money.

If you do it yourself, if you know YOU are the source, then you are ready to make a change. No one else can do it for you. Your mantra MUST be *It must change and I must change it.*

Of course, one of the reasons a person doesn’t think they can change is because they’ve never changed before. Well, guess what? The past does not equal the future. You have to be able to look forward and *create* what you want, even if you’ve never been able to do it before. You MUST.

If you live in the past, you can be guaranteed your future will be the same way.

One way to take care of the future is get rid of your old beliefs that aren’t supporting you. The ones that say, *I can’t do it.* *I’ve never been able to do it.* *People will laugh at me.* Get rid of them by linking massive amounts of pain to them. Think of an old, negative belief, think of pain.

Think of the next old, negative belief, think of pain. Think of the next old, negative belief, think of pain. If you link enough pain to each old, negative belief, your brain will do its best to avoid them, and that gives you a chance to create alternatives.

Think of your new belief, think of the most wonderful pleasure you’ve ever had. Think of your new belief, think of the most wonderful pleasure you’ve ever had. Think of your new belief, think of the most wonderful pleasure you’ve ever had. There. Doesn’t that feel better?

Sometimes, the reason we don’t change is we think change equals pain.

*If I do this, then that will happen.* Ouch. Or the reason we do change is that we see NOT changing bringing us loads of pain. Double ouch. Well, now that you know this, use it to your advantage.

Associate *pain* with overeating. Feel in your gut, don’t just know in your mind. Associate losing weight NOW with massive, extraordinary, *immediate* levels of pleasure.

Some of you are overweight because you rationalize. *I’m just a little overweight.* That certainly doesn’t give you enough pain to make you want to do anything about it. What if you said to yourself in a most disgusted tone, *I’m fat!* Or how about it if you heard it in your mind with the tonality of someone whom you really admire? Ouch! Having them say it to you would really hurt, wouldn’t it?

OK. Now, think about this. How is that different than *I’m a little overweight*? There’s massive amounts of pain if someone you admire thinks your fat, isn’t there?

If you take away the pain, you take away the drive. It turns to a *should* and not a *must.*

Change is never a matter of ability. It’s always a matter of motivation.

If someone has enough reason they will flat change, period.

Now, if *should* is what pops into your mind for this sentence below, realize that change ain’t gonna happen *until* YOU make it a *must.*

If you don’t inflict your own painful thoughts connected to overeating, you won’t feel the powerful need to do something about it.

*I _______ lose weight.* Which word did you use? I knew it! I knew you could do it! Now, that it’s a must, watch your eating habits change for the better. Good luck!

Thanks for reading.

Lose Weight and Gain Health Using Your Animal Instinct

Diets do not work. Among the people who do them, 99% of the people gain the weight back. Also the stress of not eating as much as you want makes your system more acid. This is bad for health and causes you to crave more sugar, salt and fat. Then eating these things you crave, causes you to hate yourself and you feel more stress making losing weight even harder. But many of the foods you like are acquired tastes.

Here is how it works. No one teaches the animal what to eat and what not to eat. The animal knows instinctively what is good to eat and what is not good to eat. Humans also have the same instinct. The way it works is just eat whatever tastes good and that will be healthy for you and non-fattening. That is why a baby tastes everything. So again whatever tastes good, is good for you. This is why you will spit out spoiled milk. This instinct can help you lose weight.

I love eating Cabbage Crunch from the salad bar at Whole Foods. They are the largest natural foods supermarket chain in the country. Cabbage Crunch contains red and green cabbage, sliced almonds, poppy seeds, scallions (green onions), apple cider vinegar and olive oil. Cabbage is one of the healthiest foods for colon health and preventing cancer.

One time I got some. As soon as I put it in my mouth, I spit it out. It was spoiled. But I got my money back and they had someone go there to remove it. Please note that salt can dull your sense of taste. Also salt causes you to eat more thereby making it harder to lose weight.

But wait! Man has the technology to create rat poison. It tastes like healthy food (good taste) but kills the rat. So man has done that to you. Note that any food unaltered by man (uncooked) that tastes good, is good for you. So if you are stranded in the woods, that is how you know what to eat. Just taste everything raw and you will spit out the toxic plants since they will taste terrible.

There are poisonous mushrooms called toadstool mushrooms. If you put some raw ones in your mouth, you will spit them out since they taste horrible. But cook them and add salt and you can eat enough of them to kill you. Carnivorous animals love the taste of blood and raw meat since that is what they are supposed to eat.

So man has created fake fruit. It tastes like fruit that exists in nature, but it is addictive, fattening and terrible for health. It is called sweets. So it is natural to like real sweets called fruit, like a baby does. But they have fooled your sense of taste, just like the rat was fooled. But they do not want to kill you. They want you to become obese so you will buy more of their foods. This is called very good business.

You can re-acquire your taste in food and re-learn how to eat. Then you can eat all the great tasting foods you want and be thin, healthy and fit for life. See my website below for more on this and info on good carbs and bad carbs and losing weight. www.phifoundation.org

Eat More, Not Less for Weight Loss Success

by: Junji Takano

More adults in developed countries are getting overweight or obese, and for years they tried to cut calories, reduce fat and minimize portion size in order to lose weight.

While helpful, these tactics leave out one critical element: satisfaction. Satiety is always considered as a part of a successful program.

We encourage you to quit “dieting” for good, to feel full on fewer calories, and maintain weight loss while eating satisfying portions of delicious, nutritious foods. It is based on research on satiety that shows how to choose foods that satisfy hunger while losing weight, without eliminating favorite foods or following restrictive rules. The absence of satiety is one reason most diets don’t work very well or for very long.

“Eat less” is not always the best message. You need to guide yourself to the best food choices to help balance your calorie intake. It’s a matter of learning how to eat satisfying portions while managing your weight.

We believe a contributing factor to success is emphasis on both physical and emotional satisfaction: physical satisfaction from low-calorie density foods like fruits and vegetables and emotional satisfaction from moderate amounts of favorite foods.

Here are some guides to follow to obtain an optimal health:

1. Focus on what you can eat, not what you must give up.
2. The only proven way to lose weight is to eat fewer calories than your body uses as fuel for your activities.
3. When you are managing calories, it is more important than ever to eat a good balance of foods and nutrients.
4. Make food choices that will help control hunger and enhance satiety.
5. Incorporate your favorite foods into your diet.

Do not think success come in a matter of days or month. It might take even a year. You should know that it is lifelong dieting to control a healthy body. It is just like the success of PYRO-ENERGEN of today. Fifty years ago, I started at the age of 17 to create a machine that can heal viral diseases. Up to this time of 2006, I am still developing better therapeutic device with thousands of studies collected from our cooperators.

Manage your weight by creating a healthy relationship with food, building an active lifestyle and developing a balanced approach to living.
Obesity Alarms in Japan

For those who think Japan is all fish and tofu, consider average young students diet: spaghetti and meat sauce for lunch, chocolates and cookies for a snack, rice balls for dinner and sandwiches at nighttime classes. Then they may slurp down some quick noodles before going to bed.

The diet had a predictable outcome — one that doctors are seeing more in Japan as the country leaves behind traditional food habits.

“I just love eating noodles. I get home tired from cram school, so I used to eat it all the time at night,” explained by a student, who, like many Japanese children, takes evening classes to prepare for junior high entrance exams.

Many students are now trying to slim down in a sports program for overweight kids. They reflect a rise in obesity in Japan that is being blamed for diabetes and other health problems. Some fear the trend could one day jeopardize Japan’s status as the home of the world’s longest-living population.

Life expectancy is currently 86 for Japanese women and 79 for men. We wonder for how long Japan can maintain the world’s highest longevity. Doctors believe that life expectancy will shorten if eating habits change.

Still, the Japanese are a long way from being as fat as Americans. Only 24 percent of Japanese aged 15 and older are believed to be overweight, compared to about 65 percent of adults in the United States.

But concern is growing over eating patterns. Instead of the fish, rice and miso soup of their grandparents’ generation, younger Japanese are increasingly wolfing down on fast foods like burgers, fried chicken and instant noodles.

Bad diets and less exercise create what psychologists say is a vicious cycle: Fat kids are increasingly picked on at school, get depressed and find solace in eating even more.

Children these days shoulder a lot of concerns and stresses. I feel there are more obese kids that are gloomy and dark. It wasn’t like this before.

Men in all age groups have grown heavier in the past two decades in Japan. The highest rate of obesity is among men in their 40s: 34 percent in 2003, up from 23 percent in 1980, according to the National Health and Nutrition Survey. While older women are also growing fatter, younger fashion-conscious women tend to be underweight.

Among children, 8 percent were obese or at risk of obesity in 2004, compared with fewer than 6 percent in 1980. In the United States, experts believe about 30 percent of kids are overweight.

Diabetes is a leading concern. While the number of deaths from the disease has fallen in the past decade, more than 2 million people are being treated for it in Japan — an increase of about 53 percent from 15 years ago. The number treated for high blood pressure has also grown about 9 percent in the past 10 years, according to the Health Ministry.

Alarmed by the trend, the government released a new nutrition chart last summer that encourages eating more carbohydrates — such as rice — and vegetables as main sources of energy, while cutting down on meat to reduce the intake of fat. The chart specifically targets overweight males, singles and those raising children.

The government has set aside about $600,000 in the 2006-2007 budgets to tackle child heft. The Health Ministry also plans to research the link between parents’ lifestyles and overweight children, and support selected towns to promote healthier eating habits.

How about you? It’s really a matter of eating habit to control your weight.
Vitamin D may Reduce Breast Cancer Risk Dramatically

Women who get lots of vitamin D are less likely to develop breast cancer and other types of cancer. Where do you get vitamin D? It’s easy. Just go for a sunbath. Why women who spent time outdoors often get less breast cancer risk? It’s because exposure to sunlight produces vitamin D and help develop breasts particularly around adolescence.

The body makes vitamin D from sunlight, but sun exposure is controversial because of the risk of skin cancer, and that could be harmful. Well, just get a reasonable time of sunbath daily.

Also, vitamin D is found in salmon, tuna and other oily fish, and is routinely added to milk, but diet accounts for very little of the nutrient that actually makes it into the bloodstream. So how about dried mushrooms in your cooking? Dried mushroom is a good source of vitamin D, too.
