Congratulations! If you have made it this far, you are on your way to one of the best decisions of your life. The commitment to learn more about healthy eating habits is the first step toward making a healthy, positive change in your life. This knowledge will also free you from all the future fad diets that most frustrated/overweight people will succumb to and fail. We will show you how to get started and how to succeed on a customized weight management program that will be a life change for you
Your program will be created exclusively for you, by you, based on your metabolic rate, lifestyle and exercise plan. This program is not just specific to weight loss. You will need to strive to maintain and increase muscular mass and improve your overall physical condition while on the path to reach your optimum weight goal. First, let’s see if you have been paying attention. To understand how the process works, you need to have the incremental facts committed to your memory.
Test number one:
1. How many calories in one gram of fat? 2. How many calories in one gram of carbohydrates? 3. How many calories in one gram of protein? 4. How many calories in one gram of fiber? 5. What are carbohydrates used for by the body? 6. What are fats used for by the body? 7. What is protein used for by the body? 8. What is fiber used for by the body? 9. What is the primary purpose of insulin? 10. What is your RMR? 11. What is the rule to which there are “No Exceptions”? 12. How many calories does one pound of fat contain? 13. How many calories will you need to subtract from your total caloric requirements to lose one and a half pounds per week?
I don’t know how you did, but if you had trouble with any of the questions, you should go back and re-read each section that addresses the areas where you are weak.
What is the Bottom Line? We realize that you have tried everything without success: low fat, high protein, low carbohydrate, cabbage diet, grapefruit diet, etc. Now that you have found this program, it is absolutely essential that you adapt the attitude that this program is going to work for you and you are willing to devote 3 months to make it work. If you do so, it will work, and it will establish new habits to enable the new lifestyle to be permanent. Without this commitment, you ARE going to be fat for the rest of your life. Behavior Modification B.F. Skinner, a noted psychologist and behavior modification expert, indicates that if you continue a new behavior consistently for a period of 27 to 30 days, it can become a new habit. New habits are what we are trying to create in our new way of eating. It also takes 27 to 30 days of consistent change to break a bad habit. Before we can try to change a behavior, we must first acknowledge that we would like to change a certain behavior. This applies to everything we do, from eating too much ice cream to speeding on the highway. For some people, deciding to make a change is the most difficult step in the process of change. A change means a change. You can’t meter it in gradually. You must make the change and cut old ties completely. Since you are this far in your reading in hopes that we could motivate you to finally make a change in your current eating habits and lifestyle, please allow us to help you make the commitment to finally get into the kind of shape you have dreamed of being in. It is not only possible, it is probable. Make the commitment, or throw this package away and stop reading. You must do it to succeed.
Once you know that there is something you would like to change, the next step is gaining the knowledge of how to change. Once you have all of the ingredients -- the awareness that you need to make a change, the cognition of knowing how to change, and the emotion and drive of actually wanting to change -- you’re ready to make the decision to change. Finally, the last step to successfully change a behavior is to take action! This action starts when you finish this paragraph. Enough is enough. Are you not sick and tired of being sick and tired? Get off of your butt, and make a commitment to yourself. Say to yourself, over and over again, until you have a life commitment, “I will stop contributing to being a fat person”. To change one must change their thinking, believing, expectations, attitude, performance, and behavior. All of these changes will result in changing your life. Thinking and believing what you want, will promote speaking about what you want, will promote acting on want you want, and finally this action will provide results.
Remember this statement: Wish àWantàNeed àGot. We hear people all the time wish they were in better shape but they never do anything about it. Taking it to the next level are the people who really want something and they are usually speaking out about it but still may not be doing anything. The final level before the goal is the need stage. These people are actually doing it, taking action. You don’t hear them, rather you see them, taking action because they know deep down they need to have it and will stop at nothing to get it. They might even seem a little fanatical at times but maybe that is what you need to do too – get fanatical about getting fit, it’s that important, don’t you think?
