1. Stop eating
2. Not just a joke…
Here’s the real deal… Number 7 is the most important…
1. Take cold showers instead of hot ones. Cold showers increase your metabolism, just like being in cold weather increases weight loss through increased metabolic rate. Drinking ice water, while bad for digestion (watch out for clogged intestines), actually enhances weight loss.
2. Binge: The problem with most people’s diet program is that they deny, deny, deny, deny, deny and then binge, binge, binge. Instead of having a small treat every day, binge on Saturday. Make Saturday your “I’ll eat it all” day…and do it…in fact, binge eating one day a week actually causes weight loss. As long as the other 6 days aren’t mini-snacks to death.
3. Exercise a different muscle group every day. Doing an exercise, like riding a bike every day, eventually builds a plateau in weight loss because, well, you get good at it. Unless you can increase the load (pedal faster and harder), you’ll eventually need to ride 200 miles a day to burn out.
4. Drink water – an obvious one
5. Eliminate the following foods from your diet for 6 or 7 days a week. Sugar in drinks, white carbohydrates (bread, pastries, pasta, rice, dairy) and, of course, fatty foods and, to replace them, use foods rich in protein such as dahl, beans, fish, chicken, etc… all green vegetables are unlimited. …..
6. Be happy… it is absolutely proven that those who think they need caresses, in other words, have some kind of depression, retain liquids and fat. Joy does not come from what you do or what needs to be done, or what you have or what you get rid of, it comes simply from being grateful for the NOW.
7. Have a goddamn big dream… Inspiration, combined with good nutrition, is the essential ingredient often missing from people’s weight loss regimen. Do you notice that people who lost their true dream and start living for NOW and have all kinds of religious or moral righteousness taking over their lives get fat? Self-obsession can only take over when we feel uncertain about the future and inspired, that is, when the inner voice of certainty about the future replaces the outer voices of uncertainty about the future. Come in, find your authentic self, create a vision quest and put it on paper, audio or video. There is probably no faster way to lose weight than this alone. We’ve been helping people do family, personal, couple, team, and business Vision Quests for nearly 30 years, and truly, that’s where health and weight loss begin.
