Pounds Off Programs is a careful selection of the best diet and exercise information available, cemented with the creative visualization relaxation processes that have been developed to align your subconscious behavior patterns and habits with your conscious desire to lose weight. The Eating Plan Have you noticed that when you get up from the table you’re stuffed? You feel sluggish and uncomfortable. You joke about being in a food coma? If you try to lie down it feels like there’s a large rubber ball where your stomach ought to be? Today we are simply given too much food and the food we are given is a disastrous combination of glucose and fat that raises havoc with your blood sugar levels. Tasty as those processed foods can be, they are hazardous to your health. The Pounds Off Programs’ eating plan takes you back to the basics. Protein and complex carbohydrates – things you take awhile to chew so that the chemicals that alert you to satisfaction have time to be released – and above all healthy oils. Notice we don’t call it a Diet. Diet implies that you are going “on” something that you will “get off” once you have reached your ideal weight. The Pounds Off Programs’ eating plan is a way of eating that never ends. You eat healthy, alive, non-processed foods which contain vitamins and minerals and digestive enzymes. You don’t yo-yo, you don’t go off the way of eating and if you fall off the plan, you get right back on it. More to the point, you find yourself feeling better and having more energy, simply because you are giving your body what it actually needs instead of feeding your mouth and your mind. The Exercise Plan Every kind of exercise is good for someone. Do what you like so you’ll continue to do it. We recommend weighted exercise because it builds muscle mass, and lean muscle burns fat even when you sleep. However, if you like line dancing, horseback riding, swimming, skiing, walking in the park, visiting the gym go for it. Sleep Strangely, getting enough sleep is very important to weight loss. And sleep is an area that gets interrupted as your weight increases. Sleep apnea and joint discomfort are all complications of overweight. It is important that you get enough sleep and here the CVR comes in very handy. Not only does it help put you to sleep, but time spent in theta is three times more restful than delta sleep. A note about listening to your processes and sleep: your subconscious mind takes in the weight loss suggestions for a full 45 minutes after your conscious mind goes to sleep. Many people fall asleep during their sessions, but they wake up at the end of the session. That means your subconscious mind was listening to what was being said even as your conscious mind takes a snooze. Stress CVR is also a great stress reducer. How It Works The combination of all of the pieces of our Pounds Off Programs is how it works. Each part alone may or may not work, but in combination with the support of the group and your accountability coach (whether on the phone or in class), the program works incredibly well. The only reason it wouldn’t work – and here’s the kicker – is if you have better reasons for staying fat than you have for losing weight. Pounds Off Programs only fail if you want them to. |
