Changing Your Shape Means Changing Your Life

Obesity has become an epidemic in this country, along with most other countries throughout the civilized world.  As such, an industry was born to cater to the population which it effects.  Weight loss is estimated to be a $40 billion industry, whose executives would be most unhappy if people really did lose weight.  If their diet plans worked, we would surely have a population of fit, healthy, and slim women; and the industry would be self-terminating.  It would have served its purpose.  Instead, we have two and six week diet plans which help women to lose a small amount of weight (usually less than 10 pounds) to soon regain it with even more.  This is actually part of the business plan, for the money of this industry is made from people being unhealthy, and miserably staying that way.  Diet products fail because that is part of their design, just as the medical industry has no cures for its cash cows, and will make certain that it never does.  There is no money to be made from healthy people.  Meanwhile, surgery-enhanced celebrities create a facade of how women should look.

The western world has adopted an unhealthy approach to eating, which would have been considered gluttonous in the not-so-distant past.  We pay little attention to the amount that we eat, and often stare at entertainment throughout our meals; neglecting meaningful interaction with others.  The great irony is that we are overweight as a nation because we are starving for nutrition.  We are deficient of magnesium, the B vitamins, Vitamin D, and almost every trace mineral, due to our synthetic fertilizers having depleted the soils, and our chemically "refined" foods.  Our foods are so deficient that the more we eat, the hungrier we tend to become, as our bodies struggle to make use of the empty calories.  It is like the case of the early American settlers, who lived on a diet of corn.  A huge portion of those settlers died of starvation and illness, while being incredibly obese.

Mental And Emotional Barriers

Most of our failures throughout life are due our own internal self-sabotaging tendencies.  For instance, many people remain overweight because they have such a low self esteem that they actually feel unworthy of being fit.  It demonstrates a self-destructive tendency, and this is often literally part of a deeply buried unconscious suicide wish.  Some of us were taught as children that food is a comfort to life's tough problems, and this training still resonates unconsciously through us into adulthood.  Some of us were taught that food is something we reward ourselves with whenever we have accomplished a goal, as is the case with celebration dinners, and birthday parties.  Food is our sustenance, and we bear massive problems whenever we perceive food as either a punishment or a reward.  Unfortunately, almost all of us have fallen into this trap, and it happens purely unconsciously.

Winning the victory over one's own mind is the most important step to success.  For instance, it is certain that you will fail if you already believe that you will fail.  Your issues and beliefs determine your future reality, because you will unconsciously transform them into self-fulfilling prophesies.  You will unconsciously work to prove yourself right without ever realizing that it was you causing the problems ― that the failures were caused by a long chain of self-sabotaging actions.  If you begin demoralized, and impeded by your own internal issues, then the war can be lost before the first shot is fired.

For these reasons, we recommend that people with a serious weight problem first see a hypnotist to uncover and deal with any unconscious barriers to successful dieting, as well as get themselves reprogrammed to be positive about managing their health, while considerably increasing their will power overall.  Hypnosis works powerfully, and it is probably the wisest first step that a person can take before beginning a serious life transformation, and permanently improving one’s well-being requires nothing less than a life transformation.

The Truth About Beef

Eating nonorganic meat while trying to lose weight is a huge mistake.  The greed of large corporations has destroyed most traditional farms, and transformed healthy foods such as beef into something sickening.  The great majority of meat in the United States is fed on an unnatural and deficient diet of genetically engineered corn products, instead of grass.  This was exposed in the hard-hitting documentary, King Corn.  Corn causes animals to become fat quickly, but the quality of meat produced is grossly second rate when compared to meat produced by traditional methods.

Current U.S.D.A. standards allow the ground meat of today to be up to 30% fat. The average amount of beef fat has increased 10% since 1985.  The Journal of Animal Science (1952) reported that beef in the 1950’s was between 2% and 7% fat.  At that time, cows were allowed to range feed on grass, as was natural for them to do.

Today, most herds are cruelly fed corn mixtures in sickeningly unhygienic group cages, where antibiotics are routinely administered to suppress the constant diseases caused by these conditions.  This is called factory farming, and its sole purpose is to extract the most profit from each cow, without regard to the consequences.  The corn that is fed to cows is usually genetically modified, and this “feed grade” corn is laced with pesticides.  Mad cow disease got its start from mixing decaying blood and waste body parts from other animals into this ‘food’.  Modern cows are also pumped full of growth hormones to force them to mature faster, and antibiotics to suppress the diseases this lifestyle fosters.

Yet, there is still more to report about the perversion of beef.  When butchered, meat is usually saturated in nitrate salts to preserve it for an extended period.  These nitrate salts cause a number of very serious health problems, including cancer.  Nitrate salts are known to be poisonous, and this is why they are used to kill bacteria and fungi on meats.  Although, safe alternative preservatives do exist.  The inflammation caused by these poisons in conjunction with the unnaturally high fat content found in modern beef feeds both heart disease and obesity.

Despite all of this, beef is so beneficial that we recommend it in moderation for every diet, and we strongly encourage our readers to seek organic meat whenever possible.  Beef is actually a healthy food whenever it lacks industry enhancements.

Egg Rolls With That?

The Chopstick Diet now exists to force people to pay attention to how much they eat, and at what pace.  It has been a resounding success, in contrast with most diets.  While it may be fairly impractical for most people, it does point out that there are many paths to weight loss that are free of chemical aids.  However, most of the modern diet plans involve taking pharmaceuticals to drop the pounds.

Collectively, as a society, we are forever searching for miracle cures for obesity, diabetes, cancer, and heart disease.  While we acknowledge that such miracles would be wonderful, these are nevertheless unattainable dreams.  There is not a single drug, other than antibiotics which can cure anything, and there can be serious long term consequences to using antibiotics.  In other words, we should breakout of our delusion that there is a quick and easy fix for our problems in the form of a pill.
