The weight loss industry is a multi billion pound industry and people make a lot of money from it with new crazies coming and going. As always, at some time the latest exercise fad eventually dies off!

So, what’s the next craze to hit the industry?

Thirty minutes of attempted escapology with a 30 second dunk in a tank of water every 2 minutes, just to raise the heart rate that little bit more?

Seriously, where are we going wrong?

Well firstly, there are a lot of desperate people who will do anything to lose those unwanted pounds of stubborn bodyfat but unfortunately want to lose it all way too quickly and with no extra effort. Well when I say anything, what I really mean is anything that’s involves taking a magic pill.

Well I’m sorry but there’s no such thing and even if there was, wouldn’t you rather lose weight and feel healthy at the same time?

Let’s face it, what exactly drew you to this article, it wouldn’t be the title fat loss would it?

Now honestly ask yourself, were you expecting to read something unfound and so amazing that the pounds of bodyfat will be dropping off as you read this?

If so, then we’ve got problems. If you thought that maybe there’s a better approach to losing weight than what you’re doing right now then your right!

So what’s the first step to take when you finally realize that you can’t lose weight by eating chips (something I read in a men’s mag). Well before you start dialing the number for your nearest weight watchers or slimming world club (my personal opinion is don’t bother), you need to get your mind ready for action.

Remember everything you do comes from the mind so if your mind isn’t ready, you’re on the familiar road to failure.

Take this scenario for instance, how many of you have decided to go on the latest fad diet the night before, woke up the next morning and already decided to leave it till the next day?

What’s worse, you then feel that’s it’s then expectable to eating crisps, chocolate or whatever you crave by telling yourself that it’s alright because your diet starts tomorrow!!!

If you were mind set on your diet in the first place, you wouldn’t have chocolate or crisps or whatever you crave for you own in your home!

This is also very true for the latest gym exercise fad or January/February rush. “Right, that’s it….I’m joining a gym and getting fit” or “there’s this great new body combat with real weapons and the instructor said it’s good because the fear of getting injured raises the metabolism.”

Ok, so maybe a bit far fetched, but that persons been going to the gym for 3 months and hasn’t lost a single pound!

All I am trying to reinforce here in my ‘grumpy old men style’ is to prepare your mind before you rush off to try the latest fad diet or exercise and stop looking for the miracle cure.

Crunch Time

So what do you need to do?

Firstly, you need to determine what drives you to want to lose weight or get fitter. Then you need to change the reasons why you want to lose weight into why you must lose weight.

So straight away, we change from wanting to lose weight to having to lose weight and already become very powerful and fixed on what we are going to achieve.

In fact one thing that we do at Kevin Raison Personal Training Studios in the West Midlands is find out exactly what they want before they start training with us. We start this in the consultation room where we get our clients to be as precise as they can when it comes to achieving their goals.

This is recorded to make sure that our clients stick to it and are reminded each and every session why they are with us. We also get them to write down what they are going to achieve in that certain time frame and recommend them onto programs such as www.themagichundred.com. A goal setting program that helps you achieve amazing results.

Note: ‘what they are going to achieve not want to achieve.’

We then ask our clients to read out there goals aloud every morning and evening before they go to bed. So what’s the reason for this?

Have you ever woken one morning and had a craving for a certain food or drink. Then at mid morning it strikes again, then again in the afternoon and finally in the evening when you can’t resist and you give into temptation.

Now imagine if you were to wake up and the first thing you do is read out aloud your goal on your goal card or read you magic hundred list, then mid morning you do the same and so on for everyday.

Can you see where I’m coming from now?

You actually become what you think about!

If you think about what you are going to achieve this much you actually turn your thoughts into positive habits and positive results.

At first this may all seem a bit strange; I must admit it seemed a little strange to me when I first started doing it. Then things just started falling into place, you still have to make things happen of course, but if you’re in a positive frame of mind it will happen.

So how do we go about starting?

Simple:

•Choose your goal and be as specific as you can

•Don’t set to easy a goal, make sure the goal scares you a little

•Think about your goal as often as you can

•Actually imagine yourself being the person you want to be in that time frame

I promise you, if you stick to the above rules you’ll be closer than you’ve ever been to your goals and you haven’t even started your programme yet!

All the time you hear bodybuilders talking about supplements they are taking and at the same time you hear about doctors stating that they are not good for you. This often scares many people out of ever looking into supplements for things like weight loss and daily energy. But I’m here to tell my story!

Before I had lost my weight, I had tried every diet known to man. You name it; Atkins, Weight Watchers, Slim quick, and more. None of them worked for me! I was just too busy for intense workouts and with my busy day I found myself snacking throughout the day instead of having regulated meals! It’s not easy to lose weight as a single mom with kids!

One day I saw an episode of Oprah where she had a guest doctor who was explaining some new supplements that had come out. These supplements had apparently been helping out many people just like me, but of course I was skeptical. How could you possibly lose weight without changing your habits? I decided to take them up on the free trial offer and I can’t believe how well they worked. The first supplement gave me the energy that I haven’t felt since I was a teenager. It also suppressed my appetite and I found myself snacking less and less. The second supplement helped to cleanse my body and detoxify it.

After all I had been through in my struggles with weight loss it finally felt so great to watch the pounds shed off. The moral of the story here is that sometimes you have to take a leap of faith to see real change. My change came in the form of 2 simple supplements.
