When I think back into the past, I realize that weight loss was a very tough task for me to accomplish. I was always concerned about my deadlines at work and I was always very, very tired. When I arrived home, I didn’t want to have to make any additional decisions. All I ever wanted to do was to go home, kick back, watch the TV and eat Doritos, Cheetos or some other snack that started with the letters “chocolate bar.” I was exhausted from the mental anguish of having to make important decisions at work and just wanted to be entertained by the television at night. I was overweight and felt awful about myself. I thought of myself as being FAT.
I didn’t believe in the weight loss options that I typically saw advertised, such as surgery or having to go on the strictest of diets.  My mental dedication just wasn’t up to “par” when it came to dieting.  I had dieted before and had always gained the weight right back as soon as I took any liberties in the selection of the foods I was eating.
After meeting Dr. Deb, I realized that the most important part for me to learn concerning weight loss was truly the mental process, not the eating process. Until this time I hadn’t realized the impact that my thoughts and beliefs had on my weight. Once I was able to reduce my negative thinking, I was able to easily decide how much and what I chose to eat.  I was also able to easily begin a new dietary program that has kept the weight off for close to two years now. I realized this never would have happened without the procedures and advice that I received from Dr. Deb.
There were dramatic changes in my mental and emotional states, especially in the arena of over-coming mental obstacles. One of Dr. Deb’s techniques that changed my life forever, including weight loss, is something I continue to use often as a regular part of my life. You can find this technique at http://www.weightlossforwellbeing.com  Truly, the mental part of starting a weight loss program is just as important as the food we put in our mouth.
One of the nice parts about getting into the right “mental state” of mind is that it creates lasting effects instead of temporary results. Remember, I was the person who was the chronic yo-yo dieter. Up 20 pounds down 20 pounds, up 10 pounds down 10 pounds. This was a typical “month in” and “month out” pattern for me. This created mental anguish for me, as I failed to keep my weight off. I often see others who are in the same pattern that I was in. I would highly recommend Dr. Deb’s techniques for anyone who has tried traditional dieting or used the yo-yo techniques and been disappointed.
Here is my update on how things have been for me since using Dr Deb’s secret techniques.
• I have more energy than at any time in the last 20 years
• I have been able to maintain my goal weight
• I eat a variety of foods.
• I don’t feel like I’m punishing myself
• I feel congruent and happy knowing that I’m in control of my weight
• I am much more proud of my body
• I have much less fear about how I appear in public concerning my weight
If you want to lose weight and you feel your story is similar to mine, give Dr. Deb a try.  Go to http://www.weightlossforwellbeing.com and start creating your new life TODAY!

Susan B Roberts, Ph.D. is professor of nutrition and psychiatry at Tufts and director of the Tufts’ Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging (HNRCA) Energy and Metabolism Laboratory. Robers and Betty Kelly Sargent have come out with a book called The Instinct Diet. From her research, Roberts has found that people eat based on biological instincts.

These 5 instincts are:

Hunger – we eat to satisfy ourselves and we like the feeling of being full.

Availability – the more easily food is available to us, the more we want to eat it.

Calorie density – we love to eat food that is full of calories.

Familiarity – we like to eat food that we recognize and associate with experiences that make us feel safe.

Variety – we like variety and the more variety of food that we have, the more we eat.

Roberts focuses on the Familiarity Instinct, and why it so strongly influences our eating habits. Roberts points out that we eat foods we like and are familiar with and when we eat these types of foods our familiarity instinct is activated. A perfect example of this is the effectiveness of food commercial that show people eating pizza or drinking a particular soft drink. When we see others eating and drinking certain food they become familiar to us.

Roberts gives several tips to work with our instincts to improve eating habits and control weight gain:

• Introduce new foods into your diet by initially eating small amounts of new foods.
• Gradually substitute healthy foods for unhealthy foods
• Eat healthy food when hungry to have your brain start to look forward to eating healthy foods to satisfying your hunger.
• Have a “time to stop eating” signal that you use at end of your meal. This could be a cup of tea or piece of sugarless gum.
• Give yourself structure – eat only at planed meal and snack times. Your body will stop having random hunger and cravings between eating times.

To curb cravings:

• When you have a craving, instead of giving in, tap your forehead until your mind is distracted from the craving.
• Wait 15 to 20 minutes or call a friend to do something besides eating.
