Now he is at a crossroads. Every time he goes on a 'fast' or eats a limited diet of raw foods or one-meal-a-day, he is finding that it is getting harder to lose weight than ever before.
He had become an expert at losing weight but was a total novice at the real goal in mind; achieving a natural and effortless weight!
Most Americans are experts at losing weight. We know how to count calories, identify brand name diet foods and programs, Zumba, crunch, and elliptical-our-way to a sweaty mess.
Yet very few of us know how to find our natural, effortless, beautiful weight and maintain it for a lifetime.
The salad that used to shed the pounds, is now packing 'em on.
The exercise that toned that body is producing nada.
This guy is trying so hard and not getting results. It is enough to drive anyone crazy!
The problem is that when you become an expert at losing weight, you are developing a skill set that is slowing down your production of health and happiness.
The key to a killer body is trust.
If you went to work tomorrow and no food showed up in the lunch room, would you trust your boss? Would you want to work for your company, or be able to?
The cells in your body are your citizens, working 24 hours a day to digest, transport, feed, build, destroy, protect and cleanse out for you to live, love and thrive. They are an HR departments dream. A huge community of workers who are completely devoted and loyal to the CEO; you.
They are locked inside you and they do not have a choice to quit and go somewhere else. Live together or die alone.
When a weight loss expert diets, fasts, deprives, forgets or disregards the energy needs of these trillions of citizen cells, these workers lose trust in Mr.CEO-upstairs.
Every time you are physically hungry and decide not to eat, you are neglecting your citizens.
Every time you decide to eliminate certain categories of foods or cut your calories to lose weight fast, you are becoming a dictator, governing without regard for your villages basic needs.
The citizen-cells turn on one of the most powerful biological skills for survival; starvation physiology. They slow down production of every factory in the body, send most guys home and any food that may trickle its way in (when you finally DO cave in and eat) is not burned but preserved at the body's storage depot; as FAT.
Hope is not lost.
Your cells can forgive and forget. All you have to do is know what your cells need and deliver it as the exceptional leader that you are.
Your cells need nutrition every 3 hours, preferably a meal with protein, fat and carbohydrate for all their building needs.
Your cells need you to listen to them by learning how to listen to hunger and fullness.
Your cells need a relaxing eating environment where digestion is optimal and the nutrients actually get delivered into the bloodstream super highway.
Your cells need your attention. When you nourish and love them, they will finally be able to build the body of your dreams.
