Practically every "weight loss authority" out there recommends aerobic exercise as a foundation to any weight loss program. After all, it does make sense, burn more calories than you consume and you will lose fat. I have a question, "How is that working out for us?" You may have heard that the definition of insanity is "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result." Well, isn't that what we are doing when we run the treadmill every day only to see the scale remain stagnant and the pants equally tight around the waist? But we keep trucking along, don't we? We keep running the treadmill and stepping on the scale. Listen up Fat Cutters...

"It isn't working!!!"

In this podcast, we will put aerobic exercise on trial and try to convince your brain that it is okay to give up the aerobic exercise as a backbone to your weight loss program. Once you have your "Ah ha!" moment, you will then make room for more effective exercise techniques. You can do better than steady-state aerobic exercise for fat loss; so listen up and we hope that you will find aerobic exercise guilty of fraud!

Most of the weight loss literature discusses how to consciously take control of your eating by counting calories, keeping a food diary or weighing out your food. These methods, although effective for a time, are difficult to maintain for a lifetime.

What if there were a better way, a way that uses the power of your strong subconscious mind rather than your weak conscious mind.

On our weight loss podcast and blog, we have discussed many of the principles around consciously changing your diet and lifestyle for weight loss purposes. In today’s article and podcast, we will discuss methods of using your subconscious mind to achieve your weight loss goals.

Mindful eating involves being present when you eat; paying attention to the taste, texture and flavors within the food. By using the principle of mindful eating, you allow your brain time to register the food.

Mindless eating is a scientific approach to tricking your brain into eating less. Mindless eating principles are based on the scientific fact that your satiety is determined more by your environment than your hunger signals. By using a number of scientifically validated techniques, you can literally trick the brain into decreasing calories without feeling deprived. Some of these principles include:

1. Using plates that are 10-20% smaller than your usual plates. The brain feels obligated to eat everything that is on your plate. By decreasing the size of the plate, you can trick the brain into feeling satisfied with less food.

In this episode, we start off by discussing what is considered the bread and butter of weight loss, The Law of Thermodynamics. This law states that if you eat more calories than you burn then you will gain weight; if you eat fewer calories than you burn then you will lose weight. in other words, this law states that calories are everything! We start off by debunking this "law" because it is the foundation of which most diets are built upon. You will hear many people say, "it's all about calories!" Now, you will be able to argue the contrary.

In the second part of this episode, we discuss metabolism and some ways to boost it to promote weight loss.
