Want to lose weight? Don't hold your breath 

Well…let's hold your breath a little bit. If you are seated comfortably, hold your breath for the next 60 seconds. IMPORTANT! When you start breathing again, do it naturally and evenly just as you are now. Ready? Deep breath. Hold.

Dieting to lose weight is like holding your breath. Eventually you fall off the wagon and go back to eating the same as before the diet. Or do you? When the sixty seconds was over, were you able to take the same simple breaths as before. No, depending on your level of physical fitness, you needed at least several BIG breaths. And in the 30 seconds or so it has taken you to read this far, you may still be breathing deeper than normal; taking in more oxygen to make up for what your body lost in those 60 seconds.

It's the same with eating. As a diet eventually gets unbearable, you go back to eating as you always have. Only, food is not air. That spare tire around the waist does not contain 32 pounds of air; it holds a decidedly greater weight in adipose tissue (fat). That's because the body saves fat in preparation for the next fast. Yes, you call it dieting but the body calls it fasting. And that's why you cycle back to a heavier weight after each diet.

That's good information to have, but it's likely this is not the first time you've heard it. And even if it is, does knowing that each successive diet makes you heavier 1) convince you to try harder next time, 2) make you regret having attempted to ever diet in the first place, 3) provide a sense of relief that you have never really made a commitment to dieting, or 4) encourage you to read further to find out what we know that noone else seems to?

Thanks for staying with us. If you want to change your weight you must first change your attitude toward it. Eating is an emotional behavior. You may eat more when you are upset, sad, or depressed. From an emotional perspective, comfort foods support your emotional state. You may think you eat foods that you like (and you do like them), but the emotional side is that those foods represent emotions deep in your subconscious mind. And those emotions trump any conscious feelings you may have about your weight, appearance, or related health issues.

Bottom line: 1. You eat foods that consciously taste good, but that's because they subconsciously make you feel good. 2. You consciously eat amounts and types of foods that contradict your desire for a healthy or attractive weight, because subconsciously you do not feel you are good enough to deserve health or happiness.

The only way to change from being unhappy, unhealthy and overweight is to experience an emotional transformation. You have to change your mind and decide YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH.

Dr. Kweethai Neill developed iChange Therapy™ to reprogram clients' subconscious to help them connect with themselves. The process engages clinical hypnosis to help unblock emotional energies in the subconscious mind. The result is a new, improved you; the You of your dreams. The new you isn't governed by negative emotional energy; making you better able to sustain the lifestyle changes that follow.

As a nutritionist and health educator, Dr. Neill cuts through the fads and suggests realistic and healthy food choices. She then teaches communication skills (Life Enhancement Training) and suggests changes to your work and home environment (Feng Shui) that will support the new, healthier you.

Excess weight is not gained overnight. Healthy weight loss based on lifestyle changes (not dieting) takes time. The iChange Therapy weight loss program requires a time commitment. Clients notice small changes at first; but as new behaviors are programmed into the subconscious, they get excited, feeling healthier and more energetic. Weight comes off as a matter of consequence rather than obsessing over food or numbers on a scale. Favorite foods remain, but with portion control. It takes five weeks of determined effort to develop a whole new lifestyle. Once clients recover themselves, it is actually fun.
