Diets come and diets go. You lose weight and gain more back than you started with on the "Diet Roller Coaster". Now, the Dr. Phil of England claims he can make you thin by eating what you want, when you want it. Is this a hoax or a revolutionary breakthrough?
Paul Mckenna, PhD is a TV show host and author in the UK. The book and the TV series share the same name - I Can Make YouThin. His weight loss system is not a diet, in fact, he claims, "Diets are the enemy of weight loss!"
Can this be true? If so, what have the "nutrigurus" been feeding us all this time?
McKenna claims that if you:
* read his book (approximately 2 hours)
* follow his instructions (4 Golden Rules)
* listen to his hypnosis CD for 2 weeks
* change your eating pattern
you will lose weight.
His 4 Golden Rules are:
1.) when you are hungry, eat
2.) eat what you want, not what you think you should
3.) eat consciously and enjoy every mouthful
4.) when you think you are full, stop eating
First, you need to make sure you are actually physically hungry and not emotionally hungry and eating for the wrong reasons.
Secondly you should not deprive yourself of foods you really want, the so called "forbidden foods" that traditional weight loss plans have you steer clear of. It is a natural progression to want what you can't have and eventually most people cave in and overeat when they do. Instead of denying yourself, you should make peace with the food and control your intake.
In Mindless Eating, Professor Brian Wansink outlines experiments he conducted showing that people eat more when they are distracted by TVs, phones, and even reading. Dr. McKenna agrees and suggests eating slowly and consciously savoring every bite.
Lastly when you do eat slowly, you are able to hear your "inner thermostat" which lets you know you are full sooner and you can push away from the table faster. He dubbed it resigning from the "Clean Plate Club".
To support you through this process and help you change your eating patterns, I Can Make You Thin comes with a hypnosis CD where McKenna reinforces the concepts of the book with relaxing visualizations and affirmations. For maximum effect, it is recommended to listen to the hypnosis for at least two weeks.
