Being slim is easy!
Just eat 1500 calories a day of well balanced, nutritious food for long enough and you will get slim.
Then up to around 2000 calories a day and you will maintain at a healthy weight.
It's that easy! Start today and you'll be set...
It's a plan...based on facts and figures that work....
So why can you do it for a day or three and then you 'fall off'?
People are great at coming up with diets and diet plans. They will do a no carb, low carb, low fat, high protein, salad based diet that in theory should get them slim...but yet they don't...
I have yet to see a diet that deals with a crap day at work, or that helps anyone who has self-esteem issues, or don't like themselves, or are bullied at work, that are in a bad relationship...no diet helps when you have had a terrible day and just want to eat to make the world seem like a better place.
People forget we are animals! We may try and act all intelligent, conscious, and clever, we may come up with the greatest logic on earth but ultimately we are emotional animals, we live on our emotions, and we sure as hell diet on our emotions!
So when you are planning a diet, what is your emotional logic plan? How are you going to get through a day when you feel bad? How are you going to deal with a nasty comment at work? How when the credit card bill drops through the door and you want the world to go away is eating going to help you to deal with it?..
I once had a meeting with a senior person in a large diet company who told me that people should diet in isolation and that bringing in all their life issues was too complicated. But it's rubbish! You can't diet and then be slim long term unless you get your emotions working for you, you can't put your emotions on hold permanently so you need to work with them.
Therefore forget the diet books for today, forget the amount of fat per 100g in your dinner, ditch the carb bible just for this Saturday and start listening to the emotional voice within, listen and trust in yourself that you know what really this is all about and that actually making some changes that will make your emotional state better will start to yield the real results.
When I ask every week at the start of the newsletter 'How are you?' then what is your response...is it 'I am a 5ft female who weighs 154 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes' or is your answer an emotional answer such as 'I'm good, I'm bad, I'm happy, I'm sad....'
You are an emotional animal! And the great thing is that you can decide right now how to feel for this super Saturday!
Talk soon
