http://healthymindfitbody.com How The Mind/Body Connection Can Help You Achieve Your Perfect Weight Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:53:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 en hourly 1 This weekly podcast is based on the book by the same name, found on http://www.healthymindfitbody.com that explores both the nutritional and psychological sides of weight loss, fitness, diet, overall health and longevity. The three pillars for achieving your perfect weight through the mind/body connection (found in the free bonus audio on our website) serve as the basis for our discussions of food, exercise, and dieting. Essentially, by attaining the correct knowledge about how food types can affect your bodyfat percentage, you'll be able to make much better choices that serve your long-term interests. By exploring your inner continent--your subconscious mind--you'll gain a degree of self-knowledge that will assist in ending self-conflict (being at war with yourself). And by looking at your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a new more effective and efficient way, you'll be able to heighten your motivation to create the optimal you!

Focus on measuring your bodyfat percentage on occasion, rather than stepping on the weight scale every day! Per unit volume, muscle is more dense than fat and weighs more You can be motived while you lose weight by keeping your vision of your future self in mind (generating a new self-image and self-concept), as well as by getting positive feedback from people in your social circle Our culture of eating not-so-good foods can pose challenges to not succumb to negative peer pressure Eating a lower carb diet will boost your immune system--and improve your blood readings--by reducing your insulin secretion Very educational documentary film about food and eating: http://fathead-movie.com/ (http://fathead-movie.com/) The medical establishment and nutrition industry can only deny the errors of their ways for so long...

Or, if you ate something they didn't want you to eat? Or, if you didn't eat at the right times or in the "proper" amounts? 7) If you're overweight, you need to know how to lose that excess body fat, which means eating more fat and less carbohydrates--because less insulin secretion, on account of reduced carb consumption, results in less fat stored and more fat burned off 8) Lots of exercise isn't necessary to losing your excess body fat; for sure, exercise is healthy for you, but it isn't the key to losing body fat 9) Getting in touch with your emotional perspective on eating entails self-exploration--preferably via sentence completion exercises... The Health Mind, Fit Body (http://healthymindfitbody.com/hmfb.html) book (http://healthymindfitbody.com/hmfb.html) has a 7-day program to help you come to terms with your current and ideal self-image and self-concept, thereby fostering holistic integration and ending self-conflict and bad behavior patterns; it also contains a couple days focused solely on your "child-self" Self-knowledge and motivation work in concert with good nutritional knowledge to help you lose excess bodyfat and attain the optimal you!

It's a way to burn more calories, but exercising more can backfire, because it can increase hunger and serve as a justification for eating more (and worse) Why Exercise Won't Make You Thin By John Cloud http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1914857,00.html (http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1914857,00.html) The self-control 'muscle' is seen as the linchpin to weight loss via exercise National Weight Control Registry research findings http://www.nwcr.ws/Research/default.htm (http://www.nwcr.ws/Research/default.htm) 3) The calories-in/calories-out theory of weight loss tends to lock people into a vicious cycle of continuously monitoring eating and exercising 4) Instead, focus on nutrition, which leads to the realization that insulin secretion is the key factor in weight loss and weight maintenance.
