[C201]Cardio For Losing Weight

by Alan B. Densky, Ala

What you need is a diet that lets you take the weight off by sitting in front of the television. Think it's a dream? Go on and keep reading.

You have read and probably heard the information: We are getting fatter than ever before. From young child to old adult, the stats tell the tale: Obesity is a plague. Why?

There are numerous explanations, but here is one that I do not think you've heard: We have been programmed, hypnotized--if you will--to buy and eat more and larger portions of everything, mainly junk food, sugary soft drinks and fast food.

How did this come to pass? What could possibly have such a powerful, insidious outcome on so many millions of people? The answer is sitting in your living room. It's your TV.

Yes, advertisers have slowly and intentionally hypnotized you. They sell their empty calories using the most powerful and effective marketing medium ever invented: television commercials.

Commercials are carefully crafted to entice and motivate. They can actually make your mouth water as you watch a sizzling steak being delivered to a table or a delectable candy bar being devoured by an overly happy, and athletic actor.

What is happening to you during these commercials? You are being hypnotized! Your mind is being programmed to want...even NEED...a candy bar of your own, right NOW!

The image on the screen is zoomed in on the candy bar so it dominates the entire television screen. You see practically every grain of processed sugar, they get so close!

And guess what? You are probably salivating right now, at this very moment, just from this description? Your mind has conjured up images that were stored deep in your unconscious when you watched television commercials long ago. Can you see how controlling the video images on television can be? Yes, they can control even your physical reactions!

If you are familiar with hypnosis, then you know that it is the alpha level of consciousness. You pass through this dream like state of mind as you fall asleep at night. And you pass through dream like state again as you awaken in the morning. Research has established that if you watch much TV, you are in this alpha state for two-thirds of your viewing time. What can you do to overcome this indoctrination?

First, of course, you could stop watching television commercials. But what about the programming that advertisers have already embedded in your unconscious? How do you eliminate it and reprogram your thoughts? Video hypnosis made you put pounds on, and video weight loss hypnosis will present your solution.

If you have read this far and you still think that I am joking, I promise you that I am not! Video lose weight hypnosis is for real and a US Patent was granted on the methodology! Here is a semi-technical explanation of why and how it works:

The average person feels cravings and oral urges for two main reasons:

A. When a man feels tense, he feels compelled to put something into his mouth because it provides relaxation and pleasure.

B. When a person pairs eating with any other behavior, the other behavior will trigger cravings and a compulsion to eat.

Let us talk about Part "B" first. Over seventy percent of the population learns much more quickly and easily by seeing, rather then by hearing. Think about it for a moment: If you experience an urge to eat or smoke when watching TV, it is because your unconscious mind recorded the video image of either food in your hand, or a cigarette in your hand, and then associated that mental picture, with the mental picture of the television. From that point on, every time that you watch TV, your unconscious mind flashes the mental image of the cigarette or food in your hand, and you experience cravings and urges.

So you have actually "programmed" your subconscious to make you feel cravings and urges as a "conditioned response" to watching television. The same thing happens when you eat when you watch a movie, or when you talk on the phone, etc.

. It will reprogram your subconscious to have the television (or whatever) trigger unconscious images of you watching the television without eating.

When the video weight loss hypnosis makes you lose your unconscious image of food, then you will lose your cravings. When you see yourself in a behavior, you get a compulsion to generate that behavior. So with when you watch television.

But what about Part "A"? Our feelings of tension are created by our thoughts. If you think offensive thoughts, you experience tension and upset. If you think cheerful thoughts, you feel happy and pleasant.

If you think an unpleasant thought while you are doing work on your computer, your mind can associate that thought with the computer. And thereafter, when you sit down at your computer, you have a conditioned response, your mind flashes to that offensive thought and you experience the feeling of tension.

The methodologies used in video weight loss hypnosis are based on Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). This technology works based on the utilization of a person's existing thought processes instead of post-hypnotic suggestion. With Neuro-Linguistic Programming, we use the thought processes that are creating your tension and cravings, to eliminate your tension and cravings.

Video lose weight hypnosis can program your subconscious to use offensive thoughts as a trigger for relaxing thoughts. So if you start to think of something that is offensive, your unconscious will automatically change to a relaxing thought in a millisecond. You become relaxed, so there are no feelings of tension to cause you to feel oral cravings or urges. And without an appetite to overeat, it is easy to lose weight and keep it off permanently. Medical research has proven that all of the . But it has also proven that most people fail with these diets because they cannot stick to them because their appetite is out of control!

One of the first things in learning to change a behavior is to bring into conscious awareness why you do the thing you are attempting to stop doing. Losing weight is a theme common to many who have enough in their lives that their own starvation is not something that concerns them. According to Inside Out Empowerment, we know that all behavior is purposeful. We never do anything for no reason. Everything is done in our best attempt to get something we want.

Let's take a look at eating and list some possible things you are trying to get by eating when you aren't hungry. We will look within the context of the five basic human needs.

Survival Needs:

* Hunger: the only good reason to eat is that you are hungry and need to refuel your body.

* Prevent Hunger: I have a friend whose mother taught him eating is what you do so you don't get hungry. Can you imagine what happens when we start eating to prevent hunger?

* Self-Soothing: sometimes you may eat to comfort yourself. Some food is called ?comfort food? for a reason. It takes us back to a time when things were simpler and everything felt safe.

* It's Free: Do you ever eat because someone else is picking up the check and you look at it as saving money?

Love & Belonging Needs:

* Companionship: Sometimes you eat to spend time with your friends. You know, everyone is going out to eat and you don't want to be left out.

* Manners: Sometimes you might eat because you have been told it is rude not to.

Power Needs:

* Gain Weight: Sometimes our poor eating habits start because we want to gain weight to improve our body image. I remember when I was a kid and I looked down at my body, I didn't like my knobby knees and made a conscious attempt to eat to make my legs bigger. Wow, what I wouldn't give for those knobby knees now!

* See and be Seen: Sometimes we go out to social events to see and be seen. Food is almost always a part of these events.

Freedom Needs:

* Freedom from Unpleasant Emotions: This is a big reason many eat. It's often called emotional eating. We eat to reduce stress, soothe unhappiness, chomp through anger, stave off loneliness, and alleviate boredom. Eating was never designed to do these things but once we make that association, we are more likely to continue using eating to help ourselves feel better.

* Because I Can: At times we eat as if throwing caution to the wind. Oh, what the heck, I can work out longer on the treadmill. Or it may even be a situation where you just want to prove you can eat something not so good for you but it sure tastes good at the time.

Fun Needs:

Fun: Let's face it. Sometimes food can be just plain fun. If we combine it with friends, family, desserts, fancy dishes, a love of cooking/baking, then sometimes we eat just for the pure enjoyment of it.

This is certainly not meant to be an exhaustive list but simply a start to triggering your thinking about what you are trying to get when you eat when you are not hungry. If you recognize yourself in any of these, then it's time look at your motivation for eating in the light of day. Ask yourself the following:

1. If I am trying to get ________________________ by eating, how is that working for me?

2. What else could I do that might be more effective and more responsible?

3. What's one thing I can implement every day this week that will make a positive change in this area?
