Losing Weight Accidentally

If you stop and think about how many people you know who have gained weight in the past year, or the past 5 years you can probably name quite a few people. You might even be one of them.

Now think of all the people you know who have lost weight over the past year, or the past 5 years…

It’s probably a lot less people. I’m sure there are many people who couldn’t even name one person they know who has lost weight, and I guarantee the number is far lower than the number of people you know who have gained weight.

The point is that nowadays the norm is to gain weight, and the exception is to lose weight. This makes weight loss rare. And if you can do it you will be one of the select few individuals who have managed to do something that almost nobody else can do.

Gaining weight seems to happen to us completely without our awareness. It’s very easy to overeat at social events, holidays, special occasions, long weekends, heck just sitting in front of the tv and snacking too much can do it. And getting to the gym on a consistent basis is a challenge for most people too. So there is no shortage of weight gaining events that we’re faced with on a daily basis.

But what about random weight loss events? There doesn’t seem to be too many occasions that cause random weight loss. Can you even think of one?

I’ve thought of three.

1. Maybe getting the flu, when you lose your appetite for a few days.

2. Getting dental work when you can only drink from a straw for a few days.

3. Going through a traumatic emotional event like a bad break up and that leaves you distraught and with no appetite.

These are the only events I can think of that cause random unplanned weight loss, and all three of them are very rare and none of them are comfortable. In fact they all suck.

Waiting to get into one of these situations isn’t a great way to lose weight, I personally would rather follow an eating style that causes weight loss with minimal effort (and without the dental work or a traumatic emotional event!)

For me the only way that I have found to lose weight that seems literally unconscious is Eat Stop Eat. By just adding in this one change to your eating pattern you can start losing weight as if by accident.

The closer you can get your weight loss eating routine to automatic the better it will work. If you’re dieting and it feel like ‘work’ then odds are you’re going to give up on it sooner or later. The less it feels like work and the more it feels like it is just happening the more sustainable it is.

This is the real key to lasting weight loss and this is why Eat Stop Eat works so well. It’s as close to accidental weight loss as you’ll ever get. Give it a try and see if you can ‘accidentally’ lose weight today.

The Weight Loss Battle Is Won or Lost In Your Mind

Body copy:

Have you ever stopped to take an inventory of all the things you currently do for weight loss, fitness, nutrition and your health in general?

If you do you’ll quickly find out what you’re doing for your body that is working and what you’re doing that might not be working so well.

You might be following a regular workout routine, and have some nutrition guidelines like ‘never drink calories’ or ‘always choose the low fat version’.

But if you honestly take a really good look at everything you’re doing, can you honestly say which things are working and which things aren’t?

And specifically what is working for weight loss?

Weight loss seems to be more of a mental battle than a physical one. Sure there are some hunger cravings to deal with every now and then, but 90% of the battle is in your mind. If you can win the battle in your mind you can also win the battle around your waist or butt (or wherever you store your fat).

The most important thing you can ever do to lose weight is to re-program the way you think to believe that not only is weight loss possible, but that it’s possible for YOU.

Whatever thoughts you hold in your mind will become reality regardless if they are positive or negative.

I can best explain what I am talking about by a rather Profound Statement:

Our Brains become magnetized with the dominating thoughts that we hold in our minds. And, by means which no man is familiar, these magnets attract us to the forces, the people, the circumstances of life which harmonize with the nature of our dominating thoughts*

This is a quote from Napoleon Hill, and believe it or not it explains EXACTLY what I’m talking about.

Because if you bend and twist this quote, you get this:

It is up to YOU to choose to believe that you DESERVE to lose weight.

(And you can’t wait, not even another day. You need to choose to believe RIGHT NOW!)

Every day that goes by that you don’t take action, is a day that you learn to accept that you DO NOT DESERVE to lose weight.

And if you don’t believe you deserve it, it’s never going to happen.

Positive thoughts alone will NOT create weight loss… (You can’t ‘wish yourself thin’)

10 Signs that your Diet promotes Obsessive Compulsive Eating

It was back on March 12 of 2007 that I first wrote about the now famous A to Z weight loss trial.

In this ground breaking study, 311 overweight women were recruited to follow one of the following popular diet programs: The Atkins Diet, The Zone Diet, the LEARN diet or the Ornish Diet.

To start the study, each woman was given a copy of the popular diet book that she was randomly assigned to follow.

Then, to make sure she was an “expert” on her program before she started dieting, each woman attended a series of 8 classes (each lasting an hour) explaining exactly how to follow her assigned diet.

(Side note- This just shows how OCE these diets are considering that it takes EIGHT classes for these women to know how to properly follow each diet!)

After the courses were completed the women then set off to follow their assigned diet plan for a total of 1 year.

The results were pretty much exactly what I expected – everybody lost a lot of weight in the first two months, after that the diets tended to even out and by the end of the trial the weight loss was far from impressive – none of the groups averaged more than 10 pounds of weight loss after an entire year of dieting.

And while many people used this study to ‘prove’ that diets simply didn’t work, or that the body somehow adapted to dieting, my take was much simpler – Firstly, this trial is in agreement with most research that shows it is very hard to accurately measure how many calories a person eats in a day, and secondly I thought that these results showed that the number one reason diets fail is compliance.

In other words, the more complicated and the more rigid the diet is (or the more OCE it is), the more likely it is going to fail in the long term. – People just can’t stick to these types of diets for long periods of time.

Apparently I wasn’t alone with my analysis.

In a study published in the International Journal of Obesity titled “Dietary adherence and weight loss success among overweight women: results from the A to Z weight loss study” researchers re-examined the A to Z weight loss trial to see if there was an association between the level of compliance and the amount of weight that was lost.

Guess what they found?

Astonishingly only ONE subject in the ENTIRE study followed the diet as directed for the whole 12 months. This means that every other subject was not following her assigned diet properly at some point during the research trial!

The researchers also found that adherence was significantly correlated with 12-month weight change for all three-diet groups. So the better a woman was at following her diet, the more weight she lost.

The fact that adherence was so low is very interesting considering that these women spent eight class sessions reviewing their assigned diets with a registered dietitian before they even started the diet…you can imagine what adherence must be like for someone who simply bought one of those books, read it cover to cover and then gave it a try!

The findings from this follow-up analysis also suggest that the difference in dietary macronutrients had only negligible effects on the participants weight loss success.

The bottom line is that you can generally figure out how successful a diet will be by looking at how complicated it is.

More rules = more complicated = low chance of success

Less rules = less complicated = high chance of success

In my opinion weight loss can be incredibly simple if you let it.

Find the easiest, most comfortable way to reduce the total amount of calories that you eat. The less intrusive a diet is on your lifestyle the greater chance you have of sticking to it long term.

For me, this is flexible intermittent fasting. After all if you can fast for 24 hours once, you know you will always be able to do it. Some fasts maybe harder or easier than others, but you know you can do it!

Obsessive Compulsive Eating habits that make diets complicated and difficult spell doom for long term weight loss.

10 Signs a diet suffers from OCE:

1. It contains a list of foods you can and cannot eat
2. It lists specific times of every day that you are allowed or not allowed to eat
3. It contains specific diet plans that do not take into consideration your own personal food preferences
4. It lacks flexibility
5. It focuses on macronutrients and micronutrients excessively
6. If fails to point out the importance of long term compliance
7. It requires you to pre-pack and carry certain foods with you while you travel
8. It promotes certain foods because they PROMOTE weight loss
9. Over reliance of food Journal

10.  Metabolic Typing

Can you Run Away From Fat?

Every day I go to the gym I see dozens of people running on treadmills. Some of them are running from the moment I arrive until the time I leave. I always wonder if these people are running because they really like running, or if they are running in hopes of burning off body fat.

My guess is most of them are interested in fat loss, and only a small portion of them are actually doing it simply because they like running. Unfortunately for these people running is not a very effective way of burning fat. Let me explain.

No matter if you walk or run your body burns the same number of calories per kilometer that you travel. You actually burn one calorie per kg of bodyweight per kilometer.

1 calorie x kg bodyweight x kilometer = total calories burned

Let’s say you are a 200lb man, and you went for a 5 kilometer run/walk. You would burn off about 450 calories during this exercise, for arguments sake let’s also say it took you 1 hour.

The calculation looks like this:

1 calorie x 90 kilograms bodyweight x 5 kilometers = 450 calories

There are two catches to this.

First catch: you will only burn this many calories if you weigh 200lbs. If you weigh 150lbs you will only burn 340 calories over a 5 kilometer run/walk.

Second catch: This total number of calories is not over and above your resting metabolic rate.

In this example the 200lb man probably has a resting metabolic rate of about 90 calories per hour. So even if he didn’t go for this 5 kilometer run/walk he would have still burned off 90 calories during that hour.

This means his total EXTRA calories burned from this hour of exercise is actually 450cal – 90cals.

So his total number of EXTRA calories burned for the day is only 360 calories.

When it comes to exercise I know there is an old saying that “every little bit counts”. But wow every bit really does seem LITTLE when you really get down to measuring it like this!

The bottom line is you can never out run and bad diet and overeating. If you truly want to lose weight and burn fat you must find a style of eating that allows you to eat less food and enjoy the food you eat. Eat Stop Eat is just that. A nutrition plan that allows you to eat the foods you like while losing fat.

If you want to run on the treadmill too, more power to you. But don’t expect it to replace the fat burning results of an effective nutrition program. Instead combine it with a good program and watch the fat melt off your body.
