Everything You Know about Weight Loss is Wrong: but the TRUTH Lurks Secretly in Your Unconscious Mind

Forget carbohydrate, fat, or calorie counting
Forget deprivation and pangs of hunger
Forget poisonous pills, prescription drugs and miracle plants
Forget wrestling time and again with raw will power

What and how much you eat are largely determined by your unconscious mind. Diets fail because they don’t address the underlying causes of weight gain. It’s your MIND that you first need to change – only then can you attain the body you truly seek.

From: Kevin Curtis
The Mind Powered Diet

Dear Dieter,

A dangerous secret lurks deep in your unconscious mind like a tantalizing code you cannot see however hard you try. Hidden indecipherably, like some holy grail of human behavior, it contains the most rare and precious information: the TRUE reasons you put on weight and resist all attempts to shed it.

The code is a kind of program for a computer inside in your head – a region of the brain curiously called the hypothalamus. And perhaps you’re wondering, since it’s a computer, WHAT does it calculate…?

HUNGER, THIRST, SEX, EXERCISE: In fact it turns up and down desire for your basic physical needs so adjusting your behavior to satisfy them.

Drink a refreshing cup of coffee…

Eat the most delicious thing you can possibly dream …

Enjoy a long, intimate night making passionate love…

In each case the computer in your head is furiously whirring away and calculating how much your body really needs and how much more you can actually take. The output is like an internal volume control for your desires.

AND THAT IS WHAT REALLY DECIDES HOW MUCH YOU EAT…

Sounds strange? Feel disturbed by this? Maybe, but the facts are that human behavior is largely determined by unconscious motivation anyway. It may not seem like that from inside your head but that’s the whole point… its unconscious! So hang on a moment…

Why do diets fail then?

Diets don’t take into account the strength of basic instincts and unconscious motivation, or how devilishly strong they fight back when you rely on will-power alone to stick on a rigid dietary regime. Don’t get me wrong – will-power is great for clinging onto a floating branch when you’re struggling to survive in a Force 10 Gail. Problem is it does not work for months on end when you’re dieting:

Not when you are constantly fighting your unconscious mind and your deepest human instincts.

Have you ever noticed that the time when will-power is least is when you need it most – when your glucose level is low and you feel hungry?

Scientific research by leading universities demonstrates that the most effective diets can work to a limited extent for some people, but in the long term the most people bounce back to their original weight and may even become heavier. Let me quote the words of a leading UCLA researcher following a major weight loss study …

“You can initially lose 5 to 10 percent of your weight on any number of diets, but then the weight comes back…

Professor Traci Mann American Psychologist April 2007

That’s something to look forward when you try your next one…

And have you ever considered how these diets stack up even compared with simple good nutritional advice? Shucks, do you really want to devour pounds of butter drenched steak every single day but pass on the cupcake you’d like to eat on your own birthday. (Atkins Diet)

Or can you imagine eating cabbage soup every single day for seven days? The only other thing you can eat is fruit and vegetables with your cabbage soup. (Cabbage Soup Diet)

You could even try figuring out the formula for the proper combination of carbohydrates to protein to fat so you eat 40%-30%-30%. I recommend buying a scientific calculator for that one: or even hire your own personal assistant to do it for you. (Zone Diet)

I just plucked these from the air: but diets will rarely be designed to be palatable or healthy. Even with caste-iron will-power your mind would sensibly rebel against your attempts to stick with them.

If you say I have a computer in my head to calculate how much I need to eat, then why am I overweight?

Go back 50,000 years and imagine shaking hands with a direct forbear – a grandparent two thousand generations back would do nicely. How do you imagine that person?

Like an aggressive monkey or some grotesque hairy monster?

The shocking fact is they would actually be biologically just like you.

Take a tiny baby from that time and bring it up today and nobody would ever tell the difference. Not even the smartest doctors and scientists in the world would ever guess – minutely examine and scan it as they might.

But that means…

WE HAVE THE SAME BODY AND INSTINCTS AS STONE AGE MEN AND WOMEN.

Yes, we are indistinguishable … and for countless generations our instincts have been honed to let us survive where there was perilously little food, famine was common, and we had to exert ourselves desperately hard to obtain the next meal. Not like us at all…

Just to make things worse there was zero fast food: burgers and fries where right off the menu…

Result?

Well you know what they say about computers…?

Garbage in = Garbage out.

And that is exactly what happens to your instincts. They just cannot cope with the modern way of life. Natural ability to control weight fails because the program (the natural instinct that decodes how much you eat) was developed over countless generations spent hunting and gathering. The result is that the way you live today provides totally the wrong “inputs” to it.

To be honest it is even more fascinating than that your instincts become plain zapped. Fact is they can race right out of control and a direct cause you put on extra pounds. You could get REALLY worried about that one. But here is one vital truth…

Diet plans just don’t address the TRUE reasons you pack the pounds.

Let me be brutally honest with you: if you want to lose weight permanently you will almost certainly need to do one or more of the following (1) eat less (2) eat healthier (3) exercise more. That’s pretty much a 100% certainty.

THE REAL PROBLEM IS ACTUALLY MAKING THOSE CHANGES HAPPEN

To do so successfully there are numerous problems standing in your way:

Men and Women’s Natural Response to Sweet

Honey and figs were about the only really sweet things around in the early days of our species. These natural sources of sweetness were very occasionally available and were also associated with rare concentrated nutriments vital to health… The result: it became programmed into our heads to eat sweet things even when we were full.

Consequence: because of easy availability the instinct that once helped keep us healthy now compels us to eat sweet food in great excess.

Why Stress Overrides Fullness

To cope with anticipated famine there seems to be a remarkable neural “switch” inside us that can swap over control from the hypothalamus to other higher parts of the brain when we are full. It gives us the ability to choose to eat more instead of stopping. Ingenious to help stave off starvation – but now it can trigger overeating in response to the emotional conflicts caused by our modern stress-filled lives.

How Desires Mix-Up Together

In the bustle of modern living we can easily become totally out of touch with our natural instincts. Remember how the hypothalamus plays a role in thirst, sex and exercise as well as hunger?

Result?

One desire gets confused for another and we end up mistaking thirst, for hunger. Sounds strange? It’s true. It can even happen with sex. Basically don’t drink or love enough and then overeat in compensation.

When Addiction Supplants Pleasure

Neuroimaging shows chocoholia and drug addiction have a common basis. It starts with pleasure which is a natural motivation to eat. But sometimes a food becomes part of a reflex action motivating us to continuously seek its special delight. Even the sight or smell of the food will trigger a release of a neurotransmitter called dopamine associated with reward and motivation. Soak your brain in dopamine too frequently (easy when food is so easily available) and you can acquire an addiction just as though food was a powerful and forbidden drug.

How Do I Take Action on This?

Success springs from your mental attitude and what is really going on in your head. Both conscious and unconscious mind must work together cooperatively to achieve success. Some of the basic principles are:

• Allow you perceptions to get in tune with your instincts so you respond to the appropriate messages from your brain

• Naturally and enjoyably adjust to know when to stop eating and how to convert this into action

• Change to replace brute will-power with deep unconscious motivation that will effortlessly work long-term

• When you naturally become hungry from time to time then get in tune with how handle this awhile without triggering stress or eating to excess

• Brush away your doubts, and other people’s doubts, about your ability to lose weight while truly focusing on success

• Acquire a genuine gasp of healthy eating and exercise installed in both your conscious and unconscious mind so it automatically helps determine your choices day-to-day

These principles are far more important than any fad diet. When you have mastered them they will serve you the rest of your life.

How Can The Mind Powered Diet Help Me Achieve This?

The Mind Powered Diet is a three month training course with a lesson and assignment delivered by email access each week. It aims at both your conscious and unconscious mind. Techniques used are drawn from NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and related disciplines. The course was developed in conjunction with the New York based Ericksonian hypnotist Doug O’Brien who has a special interest in weight loss and has delivered many highly acclaimed seminars on this topic coast-to-coast across the United States.

Doug has powerful commendations from leading movers and shakers in the world of change and self improvement…

“I wholeheartedly recommend the work of Doug O’Brien…”
…Mehmet Oz, Best Selling Weight-loss Author

“There are only a handful of people in the country whom I have personally trained and am totally confident in recommending. Doug O’Brien is one of these few”
…Anthony Robbins, Author of “Unlimited Power” and “Awaken the Giant With-in”

“…Impeccable professional expertise and integrity… Rarely have I seen a teacher or trainer consistently demonstrate a caring that is equal to his skill as Doug O’Brien”
…Dr Robert Bays, Author of “The Five Lessons of Relationship”

“I highly recommend Doug O’Brien… He is continually updating and training with the most up-to-date skills I have developed”

But stop now if you’re looking for claims
that promise instant weight loss with absolutely zilch effort … Sorry!

Look everywhere on the internet and you can see the most outlandish claims. The same pattern is used time and time again. Seen those adverts showing some pretty girl with a tape measure stretched around her remarkably tiny waist? And then there are crazy words saying in effect something like “You Can Effortlessly Lose [fill in yourself] Pounds in [fill in yourself] Days?” Can you really believe them? If guess if they want to do this then all very well in a free country but, anyway, we know quite factually from the evidence how deceiving these claims can be.

My approach is totally different and I wish to be completely honest and up front. I don’t want to use a marketing formula to explain The Mind Powered Diet to you: I want to engage your mind.

The fact is that I have not had the opportunity to personally meet you. I can have no idea if you will complete the assignments or the way you will use the content provided. I neither know your level of motivation or your starting point. It is just not reasonable for me to make a claim of how much weight you can lose in any guaranteed period of time.

What I do say is that this whole approach is totally different and actually far more interesting and relevant.

The training is aimed so you can automatically shed weight at a pace perfectly natural to your own mind and body.

Then when you achieve the weight you want you can continue to use your learning for the rest of time. Just like learning to ride a bicycle and it suddenly “clicks” and instantaneously becomes a permanent part of you forever. Experienced that feeling before? I know and accept that only a select special few will recognize the power of this approach or what if truly offers.

Sneak Preview of Lessons…

There are 13 Lessons with supplementary material. Typically the background lesson is four or five pages long. These may contain mini tasks for you to do as you read.
