You wouldnt think that it would be possible to lose weight while eating more, would you? It goes against just about everything we believe and everything we have been taught.

However, once you can see how our bodies process food, and how this is controlled by our brains, the subject gets a lot easier to grasp.

There are a lot of false ideas about why we put on weight, why we keep it on, and what we can do to lose it again. And most weight-loss vendors have a poor understanding of the root causes of the body’s storage of fat.

The main enemy for dieters has always been seen as the food we eat, and the solution as how to eat less. But food is not the central issue, and eating less will not solve your problem.

How many people would believe that you can change your body in 11 days – losing 9 pounds in the process? Very few – it would be a radical concept to most.

Yet, this has been achieved and documented. The methods used have been tried and tested, and are being used by people around the world.

To simplify it, the system works because of what happens when we eat. There are 2 types of hormones produced – a fat-burning type and a fat-storing type.

And the production of these hormones can be controlled ” more of the fat-burning type can be produced, less of the fat storage type, by consuming certain specific foods.

It’s a briliant concept – and the way it’s controlled is through the food. Certain foods trigger one hormone type or another, and when you follow the correct sequence, it’s like switching on a light.

It’s important, for the system to work as it was designed, that you eat more than 3 meals a day, according to the pattern. This is a critical part of it.

It’s without dispute that the system works, and the speed at which it works is one of the most impressive things about it. And it’s a relatively stress-free dieting system.

Losing weight is the intention of many people today, of all ages and classes. It’s not easy to lose weight, despite what the manufacturers of diet products would claim. And it’s more than just buying a product and “plugging in” – you must be focussed and determined. Having the right mindset is half the battle.

Without a doubt, exercise is very important, and everyone should take part regularly in an activity like walking or jogging. But the bottom line is, losing weight will require us to reduce our intake of food. We may as well be resolved to this fact at the start.

Giving up, even temporarily, some of our favourite foods can be very challenging ” some would say traumatic! I believe it doesnt need to be a distressing thing, and attitude is all-important.

I find it helpful if I can decide on a month, and to make that month a “xxxxx-free” month (replace “xxxxx” with the relevant food). This will of course be different for different people, but it will be a food that you know is just helping to put on the pounds. For me that would be potatoes, and of course it would include all potato-based foods such as chips and french fries. As the first of the month draws near, I’m aware that this food will be laid aside for the month and it’s no big deal to do it.

If you can include sugars in your diet, it will be all the more effective. If it is going to be too much of a strain, just concentrate on the main item. You can do a similar number on sugars in another month.

What this will do, once you arrive at the end of the month successfully, is give you confidence that you are able to manage without that food. And theres no reason why you cant continue another month, or a year. But the point of the month is, its a manageable length of time. Most of us can go without just about anything for the space of a month. And its long enough to give us confidence that we can make long-term changes to our eating habits. One thing that I like about this sort of diet is, I am looking forward to the end of the month when, as I tell myself, I will be able to enjoy that food again ” it helps to keep me going.

Now I can still continue the diet past the end of the month, but because my immediate plans are just until the end of the month, I can handle it ” its no big deal. I can decide if I want to continue at that stage, and of course it will not be that difficult to go on ” there is a certain momentum built up over the course of the month, that I can make use of.

There’s a myriad of weight-loss products available on the world wide web. They all have their advantages, and the information they provide is basically sound. But few of these (if any) adopt a scientific approach to losing weight or the burning of fat. I think they are missing a great opportunity in this. To know exactly why a body puts on weight (and keeps that weight on) is very important information in the quest to lose weight.

Of course, it is important to have an active lifestyle and to have some form of regular exercise or activity (even if its just walking) for a healthy heart and good circulation. And exercise is an important part of staying in shape.

But few (if any) of the popular diet programs mention anything about the release of hormones, triggered by the food we eat and controlled by the brain. There are basically 2 main types – one controls fat burning and one controls fat storage

And the hormones can be manipulated (by eating certain foods) so that you produce more of the fat burning type, and less of the fat storage type. To do this, requires you to eat more than 3 meals a day!

This surprises most people. I guess we are led to believe that food is the problem, when it comes to being overweight. But that’s wrong – food is not the problem. In fact, food can be the main weapon to use in the war against weight. The technique is known as “calorie shifting” and this is carried out by eating certain foods on certain days. The inventors of this program have a good understanding of how the body’s fat burning and fat storage processes work. And their results are very impressive – a loss of 9 pounds in 11 days is achievable, and has been proven over and over.

If you have been struggling with weight loss, it could be the answer that you are looking for. There are so many people who struggle with trying to lose weight and they are basically doing the same things over and over, and hoping for a different result.

You may have heard of this product (“Fat Loss 4 Idiots”) but the chances are that you have not tried this weight-loss program before. It’s unlikely that you would be still seeking a program that gets results. I’m impressed by the unique approach they take, and the in-depth knowledge of metabolism. It gets to the root of the fat burning problem and most importantly, it works!
