As A Dieter Thinketh* or How to be Your Own Weight Loss Coach
Are you always starting a diet only to find yourself quitting soon after? Ever wonder why? It's not the diet's fault or your inability to follow directions or even because the events in your life aren't lining up perfectly. It's not even because the diet is too hard.
We dieters fail because of the way we think. The perception, the lens through which we perceive the experience, is the reason we give up. Soon after we start dieting, we begin entertaining the idea that we just can't lose weight. That thought leads to a conscious/unconscious belief. Beliefs propel our actions. "The body is indeed the servant of the mind." Our actions always corroborate our beliefs. We start to compromise, rationalize, and cheat. And. Then. We. Quit.
But what would happen if we enkindled the belief, "I can lose weight"?
As A Dieter Thinketh* or How to be Your Own Weight Loss Coach is not a diet. It's a blueprint for how you'll think and succeed during your next weight loss journey.
Part One: Thoughts Dictate Actions gives an in-depth analysis of how your thinking influences your beliefs; how those beliefs dictate your actions; and how those actions eventually lead to your dieting success or failure. You'll learn how your past thoughts and words: "I'll never lose all my weight; this diet is too hard; I don't have time to cook," sabotaged your every attempt. Twelve (not-so-obvious) thinking insights will inspire you to deliberately guide your thinking during your next weight loss journey.
Part Two delivers the three-step “Protocol for Literally Changing Your Mind.” Based on the science of neuroplasticity, it is perhaps the best thinking-through strategy ever devised for dieters. Once mastered, the protocol will help you eliminate bad eating habits. Your brain's well-worn neuronal pathways (that have always led you to the Default-to-Eating Mode) will die with nonuse. You'll start using food to squelch hunger rather than serve as a catch-all, pseudo-response to life's ups and downs. In a nutshell, the protocol will help you name the non-hunger related eating trigger, reframe your response and refrain from eating when you aren't hungry. It will keep you making choices that will keep your insulin levels steady and also guide your thinking when sensory-laden temptations come knocking.
Part Three: Strengthening and Empowering Your Beliefs offers a bevy of powerful mental exercises. If negative thinking needs to go; and it does, you can replace it with this avalanche of positivity. You'll find affirmations, inspirational quotes and visualization exercises that will strengthen your new belief, "I can lose this weight." The “Stack the Deck” section includes simple "To Do's" (empowering buy-ins) that deepen your commitment and set you up for continued success.
As a Dieter Thinketh gives you the thinking scripts and practices that a weight loss coach would provide. Based on the science of neuroplasticity, these cognitive protocols will literally change your mind. Once you decide to deliberately guide your thinking, you'll find yourself sticking to your diet and achieving your weight loss goals.
Based on Proverbs 23:7, "As a man thinketh, so he is," this book will help you unleash your God-given power to lose weight. The biggest change you'll make will be on the inside. Sure you'll lose the weight, but only after you change your thinking. The book is not a diet…but a cognitively strategic approach to help you succeed on your next doctor-approved diet plan.
If you're tired of losing at losing, try something different. Sow good and positive thoughts and keep on believing you can, And. You. Will.
