Loss Weight or Do You Eat What You See?

You are what you eat…have you ever been told if you increased your self-esteem you’d lose weight fast?

What is your daily calorie intake to lose weight?

Researchers at Cornell University offered a group of students a free lunch for several weeks.

Unbeknownst to the students everything they ate was measured and weighed.

Each week the amount of food served was increased.

Each week the students ate whatever was in their plate.

Portions of soup, pasta, breadsticks and ice cream increased significantly during the course of the study…

And the students simply ate what was in front of them.

The scientists concluded that portion size (food portion sizes) determines calorie intake.

What is your calorie recommended intake?

If it’s on your plate…you will eat it. So take small portions. Plain and simple!

Listen carefully, I am a weight loss coach and the idea of any “fat women” having low self-esteem is a myth.

Every psychological test given to overweight women indicates they’re as mentally healthy (or unhealthy) as anyone in the general population.

There is nothing concrete to suggest anything solid about overeating that is associated with poor emotional health.

In fact, it is realistic to say obese people are emotionally stronger than slim people…

Many slim or lean women who were interviewed said they’d stay at home if they were obese …

They would not have the psychological fortitude to be seen in public if they were overweight or heavy.

Firstly, obesity is not a psychological disorder.

Second, obesity is not an eating disorder.

Fat women have a genetic predisposition to gain weight.

Speaking generally: If women conform to today’s celebrity ideal of slimness or good health…well, that’s their choice, right?

But if your genetics dectate you tend to gain weight easily, you must find a way to counteract those biological impulses through behavioral changes.

Our genes may give us the capacity and tendency to eat much and gain much, but it is our environment and habits that allow or influence us.

What gene that opens your mouth is responsible for overeating?

In my weight loss coach sessions, everyone who wants to lose weight does lose because we add self-development to the mix.

Small steps with self-confidence and inner strength makes it easier to stick to whatever weight loss program you decide to follow.

And it is crucial to follow a weight loss program that fits your personality.

The truth is, any healthy weight loss diet program will work if you follow it.

The challenge is building new eating patterns into your life.

New amazing and permanent weight loss, is easier to achieve when you simply follow a series of small steps and don’t think about the big picture.

You want to be adding new eating habits to your daily routine with small progressive behavioral habits that absolutely help your weight loss…

Helps you reach your weight loss goal quickly and easily.

A great start is to use some of the weight loss tips I provide which are based on the latest research so you’ll benefit.

Just get started today with your own small steps.

How to Get Amazing Weight Loss Fast and Easy?

Are You Looking For Fast Weight Loss and Effective Way to Control Your Weight Easily?

Jody - Weight Loss Coach

Weight Loss Coach

Whether you’re looking to lose weight or put on a few needed healthy pounds!

You’ve seen women who have all the confidence and self-assurance in the world.

“She’s so sure of herself…I wish I could be like her.”

Haven’t you said something like that?

Now you can make it happen with inner strength and become the healthy, confident, empowered women you’re meant to be.

Diet and womens health is key because starting from today I will show you healthy weight loss.

In fact, health for women you need to know (issues you will never read about in a women’s health magazine).

Health for women: How to control your weight loss the healthy way from a woman’s perspective (and weight loss coach)…

Let’s face it, you’ve probably already read a bunch of weight loss diets books promising instant results with an easy weight loss plan.

In reality, every year millions of women find themselves jumping from one yo-yo weight loss diet to the next in a desperate effort to lose weight.

Just as important, and rarely talked about are the women who never seem able to pack on those few extra pounds they need to transform their bodies.

 Yes, women from skinny sticks to having just the right amount of curves.

If you have ever found yourself in one of these weight loss or gain weight categories, I know just how you feel (i.e, weight loss for idiots).

Several years ago; I too had a big problem with my weight.

To be perfectly honest, it was more than just a big problem.

We’re not talking about a couple of extra ‘vanity’ pounds.

Actually, I’m talking about a serious weight control issue.

Yes, I had struggled all of my life to win the weight loss war just to continue fighting-all in vain.

Even when I was a small child, I can remember having a problem with my weight.

Of course, most people just thought it was ‘baby fat’ but I hated being known as the pudgy kid.

Adults would console me by telling me I would “outgrow” it…

All that “baby fat” would just magically melt away.

Yeah right, I kept waiting and waiting for that day to happen, but it never did…

As a teen I was still ‘pudgy’ and by the time I had reached young adulthood I had just about given up hope on all that baby fat going anywhere.

It appeared it was here to stay…

Like most women who have experienced weight control issues, I tried every diet known to “woman”.

If there was a claim out there regarding weight loss, I tried it.

Some were successful-to a tiny degree.

Well, I’d lose five pounds here or ten pounds there.

Never anywhere near the amount I needed to lose and it never stayed off.

Many times when I would regain the weight I lost, it brought friends along for the ride and I would end up even heavier than I had been previously.

To say I was miserable would have been an understatement.

Look, I didn’t feel attractive, I knew I didn’t look attractive and I couldn’t do everything I wanted to do.

Even though I had a good job, I found it difficult to get everything done efficiently.

My fitness level and body mass just simply wouldn’t allow it.

Weekend activities with the family? Forget it. I was out of breath just walking downstairs from my bedroom.

I deperately longed to be thinner, to be healthy but I honestly believed there was no way it was ever going to happen.

My friends consoled me by telling me I had a great personality and beautiful face. Yeah like that was suppose to me things better?

One day I was at the gym in another of my myriad efforts at losing weight and ran into a weight loss coach (and she was disgustingly thin).

I would later find out that she had a caring and geniune great personality.

In truth, all I could see at first was the fact she didn’t seem to have a spare ounce of fat on her.

It took a few days, but we eventually began to talk.

I mean, what else is there to do while steadily pumping your legs up and down on an exercise cycle?

It turned out that she knew exactly how to help women lose weight or trying to gain weight.

She told me to work on building up my muscle and body mass.

I learned that she had always had a problem with being five to ten pounds underweight too, (her situation was the same as mine in reverse).

She assured me with self-confidence she knew of a fast and easy way to solve my weight problems and weight loss.

How can a weight loss coach  make a big difference in your life?
