This is a ground breaking book, which challenges the reader to take a new perspective on the subject of dieting. It is an innovative approach by an author who uses the principles of NLP, and meditation to access our belief systems and turn them away from self-destructive patterns in order to create the level of health that we truly deserve

You may well ask: ‘there are many weight-loss books and programmes on the market. What makes this one different?’ The answer: a holistic approach that addresses the whole person, the person’s lifestyle, personality, and attitudes instead of counting the calories that go in and the calories burnt, usually through vigorous exercise.

Weight loss programmes, despite the best intentions and a strong support system, do not work in the long run because they ignore the sheer power of the complex subconscious mind –– that inner mind which governs and directs our behaviours, attitudes, and actions. The conscious mind is a relatively simple mechanism. When you decide to lose weight, your conscious mind is enthusiastic and supportive. What you do not realize is that when you mentally repeat the ‘weight loss’ mantra without supporting it with logical reasons, the message is transmitted as a miscued command to the subconscious.

Why is this? Because, unfortunately, the word ‘loss’ is programmed into our collective subconscious as something undesirable. Even if you lose weight initially, your subconscious tries to protect you from the ‘loss’ by making you actually gain weight. Unless your subconscious gets the right message, it encourages your body to save or add on to the weight you are so eager to lose. As a result, you gain more and more weight, even if there is a small reduction occasionally. You need the most powerful of support systems: your own subconscious.

If your subconscious mind can accept the idea of losing weight (with logical reasons) for a proportionate gain (such as becoming slender, attractive, and healthy with all its related advantages), it will obediently pitch in, and help you to shed those extra pounds.
