Ancient Secrets reveal the Inner Game of Weight Loss and Addiction

Food addiction results in compulsive overeating, belly fat, weight gain and obesity. Finally, the solutions you've been searching for!

Dear Friend:

I'd like to tell you about how I discovered the Inner Game of weight loss. I was in a meditation retreat in Asia, when I made the connection between what had been mostly unconscious emotions and my addictive food cravings and over eating that had plagued me all my life.

I was able to apply my understanding and experience with meditation and alternative and natural therapies in order to specifically address the cause of what I call false hunger pains, which is what causes the food addictions, emotional eating, binging and compulsive overeating that lead to flab and obesity in the first place.

Once I had released these emotions to a significant degree, I was able to have much greater control over my eating habits and finally lose that flabby spare tire I had carried around my belly for so many years.

In the book Why You Suck at Weight Loss, Truth about Food Addiction, I distilled down the knowledge and techiques that I used to release the addictive food cravings, though the principles apply to any kind of compulsive or addictive cravings or behaviors.

In fact, what the book teaches will aid anyone in improving their overall physical, mental and emotional health and can give you and improved sense of inner peace or ease of being.

The following is the first few pages of the book and is the transcript of the audios above. If you take the time to read or listen, you may just find that there is something of value here for you and you won't want to pass it up and risk missing out!

Why I sucked at weight loss

I sucked at weight loss because I was out of control! I was compulsive, when it came to food and a few other things, too!

I grew up a fat kid. I can recall being out with friends in junior high and wearing my blue jean jacket in mid-summer in order to cover my spare-tire. Of course, mothers didn't know then what many know today. Fried chicken or pork chops with mashed potatoes, gravy along with sugar sweetened iced tea and similar such entrées were common in our home. But it was not only the foods we ate, the entire platter was put on the table and it was normal to keep eating until there was no room left in the stomach.

My father was a compulsive overeater and I learned from him, firsthand. I had a belly by the time I was in grade school. And while poor and excessive eating habits will certainly cause one to gain weight, possibly to the point of becoming grossly obese, compulsive-hunger is another matter. Even when I began to learn about nutrition and healthy eating and became motivated to utilize all I had learned, I still found myself doing the very things I had vowed to myself not to do. Perhaps you can relate!

I most definitely had an addiction to simple carbohydrates. This would often manifest by eating chips and beer in the evening. Add to that an on-again off-again addiction to cigarettes. I would do well with my diet during the day, but when nighttime came I would often be back at the cigarettes, chips, dip and beer. It seems that matters of the Heart tend to show up more when we're alone at night versus during the day when we are distracted by work and all the associated relationships. We will address this later in the section called Lessons learned from The Buddha.

Painful emotions drive addictions

I certainly didn't know then what I know now. There were deep emotional factors operating in my subconscious that were causing inner pain and tension. It was manifesting itself in compulsive snacking. As I observed my behavior change after much practice with what I will be sharing with you in this book, I was also amazed to observe myself going hours without opening and standing in front of the fridge or pantry, foraging for food. One saves a lot of time that way, too!

Even though I have been fairly lean for most of my adult life, I still struggled with that spare tire and compulsive hunger. Even though I had done a tremendous amount of process work to heal from the other health issues I had been faced with, there was still something inside that was unresolved and would express itself through acting out in the form of addictive or compulsive behavior.

Losing 30 pounds

Not so long ago a woman I had been seeing said something that revealed that she was not exactly turned on to my still persistent spare tire. Of course, I was always wanting and intending to be in my best possible shape but the struggle had continued. After this confirmation from this lovely woman, I went on a very austere diet for several months and lost about 30 pounds.

What do I mean by an austere diet? It means I only ate for nourishment and was not controlled by my taste buds or other compulsions that had nothing to do with true hunger. A few examples of the kinds of foods that were my staples during this time would be: raw vegetable of many sorts, cooked egg whites with vegetables, chicken breast, salmon, lentils and beans mixed with a small percentage of brown rice, the whites of hard-boiled eggs and sometimes the whole egg.

And having done a lot of the work with the tools I am presenting in this book, I found myself able to go hours in between meals without thinking about food or finding myself standing in front of the refrigerator and wondering how I got there.

The Spiritual Heart

A simple, yet profound truth that I have uncovered over the past few decades is that most of our physical, mental and emotional issues are associated with what the Buddhist's or Tibetan Medicine refer to as the Spiritual Heart. So my journey has largely been about opening, dissolving, healing and purifying the Spiritual Heart. What I will be sharing with you in this book will help you to begin to purify your Spiritual Heart and thus dissolve, heal, release and transcend the unconscious emotions or feelings that drive all compulsive addictive behaviors.

"Addiction begins with pain and ends with pain."

Why you (probably) Suck at Weight Loss

Because you keep doing what have you told yourself you will no longer do and you don't do what you have told yourself that you will do. It's one thing to know what to do, and it's another to do it. I can see you nodding your head in agreement as you read that!

We are driven by what is unconscious within us. Why are we so out of control? Consider an iceberg. When you look at an iceberg and think that you have seen the iceberg, you are wrong. They say that 90% of an iceberg is below the surface of the water. If the iceberg was your mind; conscious vs. subconscious, then the 90% below the surface is below your conscious awareness.

Bring vigilant awareness to your eating habits. Many people go through life on autopilot. Even when we are being vigilant to become more aware, it can still be a long, gradual process to release what is driving the compulsiveness. And no one can give you a time table. What I can say is that results and benefits start immediately. How long it will take to relieve a specific issue, no one can say. It's a bit like mining for gold, in that you can't be sure how long it will take until you hit pay-dirt!

One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by temporary defeat"
Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich

How many ways do you eat unconsciously? Snacking in front of the TV, for example, is but one way we practice unawareness with food and eating. Along that line, as I address in the section Detaching eating from loneliness and boredom, how much food have you eaten in your life that had nothing to do with the need to nourish your body? Instead it was due to an unconscious compulsion to eat?

Are you fatter than you think you are? I was fatter than I thought I was. I kept losing weight, wondering how much I would weigh when I finally was rid of that abdominal flab. How about you? That 10 pounds you acknowledge needing you lose, might just be 30? Or the 30 pounds you admit to might be more like 50?

I think it's important not to obsess over the numbers though. Just focus on doing the right things and manifesting your personal best. Some people never even weigh themselves while losing the weight. If you're doing the right things and getting results, then the numbers don't matter so much.

Social eating can blow your diet. I am not suggesting that you should never eat in social situations. There is value in having good food with good company and enjoying your life. That is one of the spices of life.

But you must realize every single time you are about to combine eating with socializing that there is a increased possibility that you will overdo it or choose foods that you otherwise might not have chosen.

For one thing, your attention is not fully on what you're eating. It is focused on conversation and the people you are with as well as other commotion that may be going on at a restaurant. And as we have discussed, having your attention scattered while you are eating can result in unconscious eating and that is what many of us have been doing all of our lives and that is how we have sabotaged our diet.

Then there's the problem of social pressure where your behavior is altered because of what others are doing or possibly what you imagine they are thinking about you. It takes a lot of inner strength and self-discipline to resist being influenced by social pressure.

Conscious awareness is the only solution. I know enough about myself to know that if I sit down at a restaurant that serves a basket of especially delicious (or even a little bit delicious) bread then there is a reasonable probability that I will overdo it.

As I have become more aware, it has caused me to put more space between a thought and an action. I am already considering before I go into a restaurant how I will handle certain situations. For example, you could decline the bread to begin with, if others are in agreement with that. Or you could take one piece and push the basket away. Of course, the challenge is when others are eating from the basket and you are sitting there and would like to eat more from the basket but you know that it will blow your diet.

None is easier than a little bit. I once heard someone suggest that it is easier to be a Monk and renounce sexuality, than it is to be balanced and non-addictive in sexuality. Also to live in and deal with the challenges that can come with relationship.

If your lifestyle is such that eating out and having the bread basket placed in front of you is a recurring theme, consider saying no, once and for all. For many of us who are so prone to stacking on the flab in the first place, we will be much more successful if we just renounce certain foods. It works better than trying to modulate consuming the wrong kinds of foods, given what we already know about ourselves.

Who decides what to bring into your home? It will be a whole lot easier to stick with your diet if the only food in your home is food that serves your health and fitness objectives. Of course, anyone who is giving into a craving can get in the car to go buy a tub of ice cream or whatever the object of the craving is once they have given in to it. But having it there in the fridge in the first place significantly increases the odds of a slip.

What if you have kids? Well there's nothing wrong with teaching them healthy eating habits, too. On the other hand, it may not be necessary or appropriate to force one's own dietary necessities onto another. It is definitely a challenge to stick to a dietary plan while there are other tasty foods in the house that are not on your diet.

One way would be to keep your food in a separate; even a separate cabinet or refrigerator if that is possible. That way, psychologically, you are continually reaffirming to yourself that you are committed to eating what you know works for you and not allowing yourself to be sabotaged in ways that can often be very predictable.

One should utilize awareness, in order to foresee the pitfalls so that even when an error does occur, something can be learned from it and utilized for the next time. Then eventually, with sincere commitment, progress can be made.

Who are the un-intending enemies of your diet? Many people, unless they are completely aligned with your way of thinking or in this case, your way of eating, they seem to want to tempt or sabotage anyone who is exercising more discipline than they are. Or to sabotage another who is exhibiting what might seem like strange behaviors or choices, when compared to their own. They are not consciously trying to sabotage your efforts, though it might seem like they are. Don't be angry. Just do what you know you need to do in order to stay on course. They will respect you for it......end of excerpt.

I've included Glycemic 101, because I know the importance of getting and maintaining control over your glucose/insulin balance. It is largely possible to modulate your glucose levels with the foods you eat. Some of us are highly sensitive to dense carbohydrate foods and will never succeed on a diet until we learn how to manage our food's effect on our glucose levels, which translates into the release of insulin, which is known to increase your fat gain.

The contents of Glycemic 101 will help you to manage your glucose-blood sugar levels and doing so can not only help you overcome those chronic hunger pains and food addictions, but also to improve your health, help to prevent diabetes and to maximize your weight loss. I see this book and subject matter as invaluable and a great compliment to Why You Suck at Weight Loss, which helps you on the emotional aspect of weight loss.
