Now, I know you’re thinking it’s too good to be true. I know you’re probably skeptical, I’m sure you’ve heard more empty promises than you can remember from celebrities pitching the newest fad diet or exercise program. I know you don’t want to get let down again. I bet you’ve probably spent your whole life trying to get off the diet roller coaster and find a healthy weight you can maintain. Well, this is no empty promise.

To finally be able to maintain your ideal weight for the rest of your life and not suffer through diet after diet again.

Now, let me make something clear, I am not pushing some get-thin-quick scam or fad diet of the week. Those solutions never work anyway. You already know that or you wouldn’t be reading this letter. I don’t know you or your story. What I do know is that you’ve struggled your whole life to keep your weight under control and nothing has ever really worked for you. I know that you are tired of the lies and empty promises, of feeling like you are a failure. I know that you are finally ready for a real solution with real long-term strategies that can help make you healthy and happy for the rest of your life. You can already imagine what it will feel like to finally be in control of your life and your body.

But first, imagine what it will feel like when you learn:

How to stop letting food control your life

How to lose fat, not muscle and water

Why low carb diets do not work

Why calorie counting does not work

Why you can’t seem to stop eating

How to eat only when you are really hungry

How to eat what you want without having to count calories

What the difference is between real hunger and virtual hunger

How to keep weight off permanently

Why all the diets you have tried never work

How to finally face your binge eating disorder

How you can drastically improve your life and health

How you will never have to diet again

Sounds simple, right? It’s not simple. It’s hard work. The good news is you don’t have to be an expert on nutrition or exercise to make it happen, all you have to be is 100% committed to changing your life and your health, and willing to try something new. Because whether you realize it or not, most people fail before they even start. They hear something that sounds too good to be true and they convince themselves that it can’t be real. Well, they’re lost before they even begin. So before you do that, before you move away from this page, if you just can’t believe what you’re reading, then don’t take my word for it, just listen to what the experts say.

Dieting Doesn’t Work

Plain and Simple! The failure rate of most diets is abysmal. According to a study conducted at UCLA, the vast majority of dieters, anywhere from 66% upwards, regain whatever weight they lost on a diet within 2-5 years. What’s even worse is that at the 5 year mark, more than 50% weighed more than when they had started the diet. In almost all cases, the control group, the people who had never dieted at all, were in better shape and healthier than their counterparts who had participated in the dieting.

Restricting Calories Can Actually Make You Fatter

The truth is that your body needs calories to survive and when it doesn’t get the calories it needs, it reacts by slowing down the metabolism. Your body doesn’t know the difference between a diet and a famine! When it doesn’t get fuel it needs it does everything it can to make what energy it has last longer. As a result, it not only becomes harder for you to lose weight, it becomes easier to gain it back. Denying Yourself Food Can Lead to a Binge Episode
When you deny your body, it craves that food even more. And as reported in recent studies conducted by Harvard Medical School, this type of denial can easily trigger a binge episode that may last hours or even days. Severely restricting your intake can make you crave high sugar, high fat and high calorie foods. Just think about it, you are denying your body the most basic thing it needs to survive, you are denying it the normal variety it craves, so what does it do? It demands even more. And since you have denied your body what it needs for so long, now it won’t be happy with just a piece of fruit, now it wants 3 donuts and a half a loaf of bread. Ok, so there it is, are you convinced?

I’ll shout it again for the last time – Stop Dieting! It’s Only Making It Worse……….

Now if you still can’t see the wisdom in this, if you still don’t believe me, don’t believe respected doctors and scientists from around the country, then I can’t do anything else for you. I don’t mean to sound unkind, but no one can force this on you, you have to come to the realization on your own that you are wasting your time trying to diet yourself back to health. On the other hand, I think it’s safe to say that at least some of you have already come face to face with the fact that dieting is not the answer. You have been there and done that with fad diets and other get-thin-quick schemes.

And you are ready for something new.

So first, let me be clear about what you should not be doing:

You should NOT Diet

You should NOT count calories or points or carbs

You should NOT have to eliminate entire categories of food

You should NOT be hungry

And here’s what you should do:

You SHOULD be able to eat the foods you enjoy

You SHOULD learn to stop obsessing over food

You SHOULD regain control over your body and your life

You SHOULD never have to diet again Sounds good, right? This is no quick-fix. Let’s be straight about that. This will require the will to succeed and the capacity to open your mind to a new way of thinking about your life and your health.

And isn’t it worth it to you to finally get off the diet rollercoaster, to finally take back control of your life, to learn how to be healthy, happy and fit? Now there will be some that will walk away. There are always people that can’t be convinced that there really a solution to their problems. They would rather do the same thing over and over again even though they get the same disappointing results. And there is nothing that I can do for those people. Right now the decision is yours. The ball is in your court. Make the smart choice, move towards discovering the real you, free of the weight, the feelings of failure, the never ending diet cycle.

Binge Eating

SPECIAL REPORT:

The 6 Best Ways to Avoid A Binge

Many overweight women are binge eaters. Whether they experience small, controlled binges or massive food sessions, the underlying condition is the same. Binge eating is a way to stuff emotions that they don’t want to deal with anymore. Those emotions can run the range from anger to depression, from boredom to rage, from frustration to outrage, from powerlessness to hopelessness and more. In the long run, the food is always a temporary fix and the emotions bubble back up to the surface in an hour, a day, a week, or more. Overcoming binge eating is one of the most difficult hurdles you will face. Here are six ways to help avoid a binge before it begins:


1) Don’t hold back your emotions. Learn to let out your feelings, in a controlled constructive way. Write down what is upsetting you in a journal or day planner. Pick at least one possible solution for each problem that is contributing to your bingeing. Then, in the next month, make a conscious effort to do at least one thing a week towards achieving that solution. Being proactive about the problems that cause you to binge can help you develop better eating habits in the future.


2) Record your binges, the feelings you have while eating, and what food was consumed. Use those notes as a way to examine your triggers, both emotional and physical, and use that information to help prevent future binges. Try to eliminate or limit specific foods that tend to send you into a binge. Is there a specific person or event that continues to cause you to binge? A difficult relative or an ongoing problem at work? If you start to see the same situations or people turning up in your journal, you can start to identify patterns that have to be addressed. Don’t become overwhelmed, prioritize what is affecting you and address them one by one.

3) If you are really craving something, eat it! No matter how fattening you think it is. Sometimes just doing this is enough to head off a major binge session. Part of the reason diets tend to fail is because we spend so much time denying ourselves the things we are really want. And the more we deny, the more we crave until we work our way up to a full-fledged binge. So indulge your cravings. Have a small portion of what you’re in the mood for and see if that alone can head off the impulse to overeat. There is nothing you cannot have with the 8 Rules, so have a little and see if that is enough to calm your urge.


4) Make a conscience effort to find other mental or creative activities to fill you time and take your mind off eating. Develop a hobby and commit yourself to it. A lot of bingeing takes place for no other reason than sheer boredom or loneliness. Find activities to fill that time. Volunteer your time to your favorite charity, join a club that fits your interests. If you prefer more solitary activities, start writing a novel or learn a musical instrument. There are literally thousands of ways you can engage your mind and fill your time. Eating should not be a favorite pastime. Don’t wait, figure out what is.


5) Get Physical. Take a walk around the block, water the yard, go outside and weed the flowerbeds, go to the mall and window shop, clean out your closet. This list is endless. Doing almost anything physical will give your body a chance to get past the urge to binge and will contribute to your fitness level at the same time. In fact, anytime you can add activities to your normal routine, you are taking one step closer to reaching your healthy, natural weight. Physical activity is one of the most important parts of the 8 Rules program, partake in it and you will see much better results.


6) Stop Dieting For Good. This is probably the most important point of the entire 8 Rules program. Stop Dieting For Good. Dieting causes bingeing. Diets don’t work. The sheer body of research on the subject could fill a thousand pages. Here’s what you need to know right now: the requirements of most diets run directly in contrast to what your body needs and wants. When you diet, you deny your body. The more you deny it, the more it craves. The more it craves, the more it wants high sugar and high fat foods to make up for what it is being denied. Eventually, even with all the best intentions in the world, it is almost impossible not to succumb to a binge eating episode. Your body simply demands it. And the truth is that most of the diets on the market don’t address this medically recognized condition. So just forget the diets. There is a better way.

Types of Hunger

There are three basic types of what I call virtual hunger. Hunger that is motivated by something other than the body’s real and true need to eat. It is important you know these so you can start to recognize them for what they are and not confuse them with real hunger.

Social Hunger

Parties, Office lunches, Birthday parties. All the times we eat for an occasion. These are the times that most people really cherish and look forward to and are an important part of life. And many times, we overeat at these functions because we don’t want to miss the fun. And there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, there are ways to plan for these events, make sure that we are truly hungry so we can really enjoy them the way they should be enjoyed.

Emotional Hunger
Cravings for a certain flavor or food. All human beings have cravings, but often times we have those cravings when we are not hungry. They can be motivated by dozens of factors and can sometimes be a way to avoid feelings that may be to much for us to handle. Emotional hunger is the tendency to stuff our faces to deaden some mental or emotional pain. It is exactly why, in many cases, none of the diets work, no matter how scientifically valid they may be.

The drive to eat compulsively, to neutralize our fear, shame, guilt or any other feeling can be as strong as an alcoholic trying to resist a drink. But strangely, the majority of the diet industry doesn’t recognize emotional eating as a condition that will fly directly in the face of most diets. They, instead try to make us focus on a specific eating and exercise plan. They insist we use our “willpower” to stick to their new miracle program.
Well, let me tell you, it’s not about willpower. The women I know who are chronic dieters, who have struggled with their weight their whole lives, they have more willpower than any group of human beings on the planet. The lengths they go to on a regular basis to fit into society’s definition of beauty and fitness is nothing less than remarkable. The problem is that the majority of these diets and fitness plans don’t address the real underlying cause of a lot of obesity in this country – binge eating or emotional hunger. We will talk more about that later.

Mechanical Hunger

This is one of the most common types of virtual hunger. The-sitting-on-the-couch with empty hands hunger. The creature-of habit-hunger. This is the one that, in some cases, could be the most destructive because you don’t even realize that you’re acting in an unproductive way. Many times, when you eat out of boredom or loneliness you enter an almost trance-like state. You mow through the different flavors in the refrigerator and finish with barely a memory of the event.

So how do you distinguish between real hunger and virtual hunger? I developed a hunger scale that helped a lot in the beginning. After awhile, knowing my hunger level became second nature.

Compulsive Eating

One of the main causes behind compulsive eating is low self-esteem. When you don’t feel confident or secure about how you look or you place in the world, you start to look for comfort elsewhere. Some people engage in self-destructive activities, meaningless sex, drugs, excessive drinking – or binge eating. While the mainstream world tends to view people who overeat as merely lacking willpower, the fact is that binge eating has a deep seated emotional component and is as destructive a behavior as any of the more commonly accepted ones.

Compulsive eating is a form of self-abuse. Stuffing your body full of food that it is not ready for is abusive. Food that it does not need. Food that doesn’t taste good. People, especially women, who are so willing to do this come from a background of being told constantly that they don’t measure up, that their bodies are not good enough, they are too fat, or too broad-shouldered, or too wide-hipped or too old or too lumpy or a dozen other things that make them think that they are not good enough. They are told that they don’t have any self-control, how many times do we have to hear that we are not adequate before we start to believe it?

And when we do start to believe it, we start to treat ourselves like garbage. We start to put things in our mouth that are no good for us, that we are not hungry for, that offend our senses, but we do it anyway because we don’t know any other way to dull the pain. We dull that pain with food and since our bodies don’t deserve to be treated any better than they are being treated, we abuse them with food.

I can’t even count all the times I came home from a disappointing night out and ate. From a blind date that went bad or a night of being the third wheel and ate. Or a night of watching my best friend get all the attention. And the first place I headed was to the kitchen, where I stuffed myself full until I was numb, until I couldn’t tell anymore that I was in pain.

Now in my case it didn’t help that my mother made eating into a forbidden activity in our house. Since I was, in her estimation, a little chubby right from the start, she tried to regulate my eating as soon as she could. The side-effect of doing that was that eating became an even more forbidden, hidden activity for me. It became the thing I did in secret, so when I was able to do it, when I was able to sneak away and have the run of the kitchen, like when she was sleeping, I would gorge myself. I would treat myself like a trash can because that was the only way that I knew of to compensate for all the disappointment – from my mother, from my peers, from the boys my age, from myself for being such a failure at getting and staying thin. And no matter what starvation diet I went on or crazy new plan I tried, it would end and the failure was multiplied 1000 times.

And that bad habit only grew as I got older and only became more intense as I got out on my own and there was nobody watching me. Because if I actually looked at how much I weighed when all these habits started to form, I wasn’t fat! I was normal, but it certainly didn’t feel like that.

All the years that we, as mostly women, have taken second place and listened to the voices inside of our heads that denigrate and belittle us and every little flaw we have, the harshness with which we judge ourselves, all of that year after year after year builds itself up and makes us into virtual trash cans. Our bodies become the receptacles of all those bad feelings and the way we act it out is to fill ourselves with all that junk. Eating when we are not hungry. Stuffing ourselves until we feel uncomfortable, not taking care of ourselves, we do all of that because of not feeling like we measure up.

And what makes it more difficult is that the food helps to deaden the pain. So we keep stuffing it in, and then we feel even worse about ourselves and the vicious cycle continues day after day, year after year.

Dieting Doesn't Work

SPECIAL REPORT:

10 Indisputable Reasons Why Diets Don’t Work

Dieting doesn’t work. It’s a fact. Now I’m sure somewhere down deep inside we all know this to be true. Those of us who have spent our lives battling weight only to end up heavier and unhappier each time, must know that this is a one of those universal truths. Here are just a few of the many reasons:

1) Diets are too restrictive for a long-term strategy - Most people are only able to stay on a diet for a limited amount of time. It could be weeks, it could be months, but soon afterwards most dieters gravitate back to their pre-diet eating habits. Eventually, the dieter ends up weighing more than when they started the diet. They gradually become more out of shape with each new miracle plan and the whole vicious cycle begins again.

2) Diets set up a dangerous cycle of feast and famine – Chronic dieters tend to exist in a cycle of binge and purge. They are always denying themselves something, a certain food, or sometimes a whole category of food. They almost always get to a point when, in order to compensate for this constant denial, they binge and begin eating compulsively.

3) Diets cause you to lose water and muscle instead of fat – Most fad diets show results in the beginning. When you get on the scale after the first few days, you’re likely to notice 3,5 even 7 pounds difference in you weight. That’s a great feeling and one of the reasons going on diets can be such an addictive pastime. The problem is that those pounds you lose early on are oftentimes only water and are not necessarily permanent. And all diets cause you to lose muscle in addition to water. When the inevitable happens six months later, and you go off of the diet, that muscle almost always comes back as fat, putting the dieter in worse shape than before.


4) Diets convince your body that it is starving, making it hold onto fat – The human body was set up for survival. When we go on very low-calorie diets, our body does not understand that we are restricting food on purpose and there is not any real risk of starvation. All the body knows is that it is not getting as much food as it was getting a month ago. In order to compensate, the body starts conserving energy, or calories, and slows down the metabolism. This only makes it harder to lose weight and easier to gain weight.

5) Diets are designed to make you feel inadequate and unsuccessful, and as a result can lead to failure – Dieting is one of the most destructive things we can do to our self-esteem. It is like telling ourselves over and over again that we are not good enough, that we won’t be worthy until we reach a certain size or a certain magical weight. When this effort fails, as it does for most of the people who go on diets, we feel like we have failed and blame ourselves, only making the problem worse. This cycle repeats it self again and again.


6) Diets go against the natural instincts of your body – Dieting is not natural. It’s just that simple. Your body needs certain foods at certain times. It has cravings and certain foods it likes better than others. Most diets ignore this in favor of one set approach for everybody. And as mentioned before, denying your body the things it need makes it that much harder for you to stay on any diet long-term or have much success.


7) The people selling diets are, in a lot of cases, not overweight themselves and do not understand the true nature of the problem – Although they may have the right intentions when they write diet books or give out nutrition or fitness advice, a lot of the people who specialize in this field have no actual experience with being overweight themselves. They may be well-versed in the science available on the topic, but not the real world application of those principals. Some of them will just never understand how truly difficult it is to resist the urge to overeat and that many of the diets they recommend can sometimes make the situation even worse.


8) Diets address the symptoms instead of addressing the disease – Diets tend to only address the symptoms of being overweight. Most diet plans tell the dieter to only eat this or eat more of this, but they don’t deal with the fact that most chronically overweight people suffer from some level of binge eating disorder. It is this compulsive behavior that contributes to their obesity in the first place, and giving them a new diet plan is not going to solve that real underlying issue.


9) Diets are boring - Let’s face it! Diets are boring. Being told what you can eat, when you can eat, how much you can eat, it’s all boring. A dieter is not going to stick to a plan that restricts their eating enjoyment so severely. It’s just not realistic and is a major part of the reason diets fail so often.


10) Most diets presuppose that obesity is a choice that can be cured with willpower alone - Most chronic dieters are not overweight or obese by choice. But most diets don’t accept that notion. They approach the problem on the premise that the only real problem is that overweight people can’t stick to diets. They don’t have the willpower or commitment. Wrong! Dieters are some of the most committed people you will ever meet. The problem is with the system. And the 8 Rules is one way to start addressing the real problem and start making some real long-term changes in your life.
