Achieving your desired weight through a healthy life style reduces your risk. So how do you achieve your healthy weight? It’s too simplistic because dieting doesn’t work. Diets tell us to eliminate foods from what we eat regularly, for example fats. The problem with low fat diets is that our bodies require fat.
Fat stores fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. Fat also helps the body produce testosterone, which is the hormone that contributes to muscle growth and the burning of body fat. While eating fatty cuts of red meat definitely is not good for you, eating lean cuts of animal protein actually helps your body burn more calories than eating protein from soy products. Other diets tell us to restrict carbohydrates. Weight management is a long-term project.
Some of us lose weight by eating almost nothing while working out like crazy. Others lose weight using “crash” diets. It’s because our subconscious image overcomes our conscious goals. To really change we first have to change our mindset about “losing weight.” To gain a healthy weight you need to stop trying to lose weight and focus on a goal that is positive rather than negative.
A great method is through visualization, reprogramming your mind’s image of your body. How does hypnosis help? The first group was offered changes in their diet and more exercises without the addition of hypnosis. After nine weeks both groups lost weight. The hypnosis group continued to lose weight during both intervals and many actually met their long-term weight goals.
As mentioned before your body image is controlled by your subconscious. Hypnosis teaches your subconscious the skills you need to help you control your appetite, while substituting your old diet for healthier foods and drinking water. By visualizing your ideal body image you can anchor your eating and exercise habits toward achieving your imaged goal.
It isn’t magic, only good healthy habits adapted for a long healthy lifetime. Healthy eating habits coupled with a moderate exercise program anchored in your subconscious. It works!
What Is Your Ideal Body Weight?
Your ideal body weight is your weight in a perfect world. In other words, your body weight if you lived in a world where you were eating only ideal proportions of healthy, nutritious food, drinking nothing but clear, clean water, and getting adequate exercise and rest. Your ideal body weight is your normal, healthy weight.
In this scenario, your body would maintain its ideal body weight automatically. We find ourselves eating larger proportions than our bodies really need.
How To Achieve An Ideal Body Weight In A Non-Ideal World?
Even though we live in an imperfect world, you can achieve your own ideal body weight. Your body wants small proportions of healthy food every few hours. Your body also wants to move. Your body wants water, a lot of water…clear, clean water. Many body organs need ample water to function efficiently.
And lastly, your body wants and needs a schedule. In fact, your body craves a schedule. It wants to get fed nutritious food every few hours.
