Using MindControl and reprogramming to lose weight permanently

by Dr. Jacob Mathew, Moderator, DietBuddy

Want to lose weight permanently? Try reprogramming your mind.

People are more overweight than ever before. We’re the only nation in the world where poor people are fat and the rich are skinny. Eating is a compulsion for most of us. We use eating to deal with stress. We’re fixated on eating the wrong things and making poor choices. We eat to make ourselves feel better.

“The answer to this problem is to reprogram your mind” says Kelly Burris, expert and author of “Reprogramming the Overweight Mind – 7 Steps to Taking Control of Your Subconscious”. Kelly’s Mind/Fitness Program is in use in psychology and psychiatric centers all over the world. His methods have helped thousands of people.

“Look at yourself,” Kelly says. “Don’t be fooled. Your subconscious mind leads you to make decisions that are anything but healthy. To lose weight, you’ve got to change your mindset.” According to Burris over 98 percent of the people who make a resolution to lose weight this year will fail because of the three key issues that form the core concepts to the Mind/Fitness program:

First, recognize what you really need to change within yourself. Your worst eating behavior, especially as an adult, is perpetuated by three emotions: fear, guilt and anger. Childhood responses to these emotions still control what you eat, when to eat and how much to eat.

Second, gain access to the information in the subconscious that is keeping you from your goal . Urgent educational measures are required to break the hold that your mind has on the behaviors that are associated with excess weight. Your mind needs to be reprogrammed.

Finally, change your internal dialogue & images to empower yourself to achieve the positive changes and behavior that will naturally lead to permanent weight control and healthier lifestyle decisions.

Kelly has developed powerful techniques for breaking the bad habits that can help you get a grip on your life, unlearn bad behavior, and empower yourself to a healthier life.

Here’s an example - try this! The next time you want to eat another cookie or smoke a cigarette, say STOP to yourself and ask yourself the following five key questions:

1. Does this work for me?

2. How do I feel and will I benefit from the results of this?

3. What can I replace this with that will benefit me?

4. What can I learn from this?

5. How can I use this experience to move myself more quickly toward my goals?

If the answer to any of the questions results in you making a better choice, then the technique works for you. Keep going. Carry these questions with you and use them every time you are faced with a key decision.
