Weight Loss PsychologyWhy Most Diet Pills & Programs Fail
The truths about weight loss, diet pills and diet programs are unknown to most of us, because we do NOT want to face such truths. However, the truth CAN set you free to pursue a more realistic weight loss path. So-- below are the unpopular weight loss truths I have discovered over the past 35 years...
For ALMOST ALL of you reading these words, there is NO diet program nor diet pill that will yield permanent weight loss UNLESS you are willing and able to process and resolve the psychological issues that you have concerning your extra pounds.
Let me repeat the above. Please read carefully...... for ALMOST ALL of you reading these words, there is NO diet program nor diet pill that will yield permanent weight loss UNLESS you are willing and able to process and resolve the psychological issues that you have concerning your extra pounds.
Also, to further discourage you, I as a student of personal growth over the past 35 years and a licensed therapist for the last 14 years, have found that permanent weight loss is customarily one of the LAST improvements seen in those pursuing effective healing tracks. And EFFECTIVE healing paths for most of us usually take DECADES.
And if that is not discouragement enough...Because most therapies are NOT oriented towards a cure, most of those following common therapeutic paths will ultimately fail too in their PERMANENT weight loss efforts.
It is vital that you evaluate whatever weight loss choices you make as to their EFFECTIVENESS. Ask about the longterm results and pay particular attention to the advising man/woman to see how they fare in terms of weight... (this male advisor today is 63years-old, is 5'10" tall, and weighs 162#). Most of the weight loss advisors that I have seen are still overweight!
I offer you the "brainwashing" programs on this website to show you what is necessary psychologically...these programs will probably NEVER be popular, but they can show YOU where you are stuck if you pay close attention to your reactions to them.
Are you ready to find out where you are stuck psycholigically in terms of weight? Then please read about these "brainwashing" diet programs and/or take this free online weight loss quiz.
