Weight Loss Mindset

Hello, I'm Rick Taylar, and this is Weight Loss Mindset!

Your body is constantly communicating and letting you know what it needs.

It's just that we've forgotten how to listen to it.

But, you can learn and begin to get back into harmony with your body.

Losing weight and keeping it off isn't about following a serious bunch of rules. It's also not about giving up all the food you love or half-starving yourself. And you don't want to be listening to everything the mind tells you to do.

Most diets fail because you're letting your brain dictate your eating habits.

The Body Knows What's Good For It Or Not!

You might not believe it right now, but your body knows what it needs to stay healthy. This truth is hard to grasp because of the dieting ads and "experts" popping up everywhere.

We start to listen to all these varying opinions and become confused about the best way to take care of our bodies.

Your Body Is Talking, So Listen Carefully

When you're learning to only listen to your body, you have to recognize the signals and cravings coming from the brain and ignore them.

Push aside any emotional eating signals that tell you to eat to make yourself feel better. You can learn to recognize the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger. Over time, you'll notice the differences between cravings from the body and those from the emotions.

Final Thoughts 

Let's face it. We've become emotional eaters. We've started ignoring our intuition about our physical needs for food. But, we can learn to listen to a different set of cues. We can pay attention to the parts of our bodies that know what we need to be healthy.

Restoring intuition will happen when you learn to listen to the right signals about why you're hungry.

You must understand the psychological rules of your mind and how that makes dieting almost impossible. 

Sure, pure will power can help you achieve weight loss success. 

But can you really trust that during those stressful moments?

Losing weight isn't just about changing how much you eat or what you eat. If only it was that simple. To lose weight you have to change the way you think regarding food.

I'm guessing you'd love to change your health and take off your weight without putting it all back on a short time later, right?

It's too bad that we humans are totally motivated the most by our emotions. That means stress, anxiety, depression, and other feelings really determine our food choices. Rationality just goes out the window and we make excuses for why we must eat a certain way. Like a tub of ice cream after a break-up.

See, it's not rational. After all that break-up ice cream you'll stack on weight instead of moving on and finding another.

The Mind Is A Master At Making Excuses

Your brain is not always governed by reason. That's why it's important to create a habit of stopping before you eat something and asking yourself questions like "Is what I'm about to eat a healthy choice for me? Will it help me reach my ideal weight? etc."

The World is Loaded With Triggers Enticing Us To Eat

When you feel hungry, your body releases hormones. These hormones make you notice food a lot more than usual. Let's thank evolution for this response that keeps us alive. In those past times, it was very important. But, today the world has an amazing abundance of food choices. You can't ignore them.

Depriving Yourself Makes Food More Tempting

As soon as you decide certain foods (like carbs) are off-limits, your mind becomes automatically fixed on them. You'll crave them like a maniac. Far more than if you just enjoyed them in moderation.

Why Do We Think It's Just All or Nothing? 

When we make these strict, rigid rules they're challenging to follow all the time. We make a simple mistake or wander off plan for a moment, then we're ready to throw in the towel instead rather of just getting back on track with the plan.

Getting to understand how your mind works and the psychological rules that control your thinking are extremely helpful in overcoming these hidden forces. It'll ensure your success in changing your eating habits.

The way we think affects the way we eat.

When you eat for reasons other than nutrition for the body, trouble begins. 

Learn to eat for the body's health, not to satisfy emotions or cravings.

For most people, eating isn't just about nutrition for the body.

Many eat for other reasons. They have little to do with keeping our bodies healthy or fueled up. We eat with others to connect with them. Or have particular emotions linked with certain foods. Some foods can make us happy because of pleasant memories linked with them in our minds. 

Let’s take a look 6 habit forming ideas that could help move you in the right direction, okay? 

Develop healthy habits with healthy thoughts

Changing your relationship with food starts by taking a look at your reaction to eating, your behavior during mealtimes, and how you deal with cravings when they arise. 

1 - Keep your attention on what you're eating. 

2 - Really connect with your food and experience it.

3 - Stop and take a moment to consider your emotions before eating. 

4 - Don't forget to take a breath now and then. 

5 - Don't try to rush your meal. 

6 - Choose an optimum environment. 

If you're an emotional eater, you must take measures to deal with it right away.

If you don't handle, you're very unlikely to lose weight and keep it off. 

Learn to eat for the body's needs, not for any other reasons.

Emotional eating is when you eat for any reasons other than actual hunger. Think about how you respond when under any kind of emotional stress. Do you crave certain kinds of food at these times? 

Let's take a look at five points that could indicate  emotional eating issues.

1 - Your Self Control Is Lousy

When you don't have self-control you'll do things you don’t want to do. You do them anyway because it just seems easier than not doing them. 

2 - You feel you don't have any way to deal with your problems.

We sometimes use food to replace exercise, meditation, therapy etc. because it can give us pleasure! 

3 - Are you eat or craving when you're happy, Sad, Bored, Stressed, Anxious etc.

If you spend your day desiring picking up that Coke or eating those tasty chips, then you're emotionally eating. 

4 - Don’t You Realize When You Are Overeating?

This is the most obvious and the most frustrating reason. The emotional habit is consuming you at this point. There is just no realization and therefore no action taken to counter this issue. There's a serious disconnection between your mind and your actions.

5 - Are you affected by your environment or culture?

Where you grew up and how the people around you eat, could be an indicator of your emotional eating habits. In many cultures it is customary to always eat when offered food. This could lead to eating when you're not hungry. Friends and family may be over eaters and you’ve developed the habit from your environment as a way to not feel left out.

A study was done and it confirmed that people will naturally, subconsciously match the equivalent quantities of food as the people they're eating with. 

Be sure to pay attention next time you’re in this situation.

Stress can make us crave the foods we shouldn't be eating if we need to lose weight. 

Is it possible to counteract these ancient habits that control us still today? 

Yes, we CAN learn to outsmart stress and eat food that's good for us so we can reach our ideal weight.

Are you one of those people who crave foods when under stress? Or when life isn't going so well?

Maybe you feel a little overwhelmed in your job or business.

Why do we always seek comfort from food when we feel this way? WHY?

Let's discuss some of the causes of stress eating and take a look at what we can do about it.

1 - It's Easier To Reach For Junk Food When You're Busy

2 - When You’re Stressed You'll Naturally Crave Bad Foods

3 - Why Does Junk Food Make Me Feel So Good

You're definitely at a big disadvantage when it comes to stress eating. You can’t always turn those cravings off. But, you can definitely outsmart them. Try to satisfy your body’s needs in healthier ways. Over time you'll form a great habit that will get easier and easier to stick to.

Can self-feedback and self-evaluation help you with your weight loss goals?

Most of the time people are on automatic and can't see their mistakes clearly.

Clarity helps you take control of your life. The more clear you are about who you are, the better your life will be.

Let me ask you, if there was a weight loss product, not a vitamin or supplement, but a tonic that could reset your metabolism so your body let's go of fat fast, would you try it?

If you're in the US or Canada, I urge you to go and watch this video as soon as you can. It's definitely eye-opening.

Self-feedback is a great way to evaluate yourself and make changes in your life to improve it. This is especially important for those people trying to lose weight.

Self-feedback challenges us to ask ourselves how we feel about the work we do, the lifestyle we live, and the way we treat others.

What is Self-Feedback and Evaluation About?

Experts suggest that our ability to conduct a self-evaluation in which we carefully examine our abilities, behaviors, and characteristics requires that we prepare ourselves for a journey through self-reflection and how we make decisions. 

What Are The Advantages of Self-Feedback?

Self-feedback has multiple benefits that we can use to our advantage.

Like Self-Reflection…

Self-feedback allows us to examine what motivates us and what types of stimuli trigger results. Self-feedback challenges us to revisit our triumphs and mistakes, and it encourages us to initiate a deep-dive into examining any lessons we've learned. 

It Also Encourages Input from Others

Although this process requires us to conduct a self-appraisal, it also requires us to seek feedback from other people. The way we see ourselves sometimes has close ties to how others see us as well. The opinions of others occasionally contribute to our subjective perceptions about who we are as a human being.

The Goal Is Self-Improvement

Self-feedback opens the doors to taking the information you gain from self-reflection and others and use it to enhance who we are. It’s an opportunity to push the reset button on all of our character traits. 

Self-Feedback Improves Self-Esteem and Confidence

Self-feedback can really boost your self-esteem and confidence. Identifying the values, you give to your workplace, your family, your friends or yourself can go a long way to improving your self-confidence and self-esteem. You learn to focus on those things and improve them further rather than always focusing on your weaknesses.

Try Practicing Self-Feedback

Practicing self-feedback is a skill and can be difficult for some to put into action or even master in a way that is meaningful at first. You just have to keep practicing

For self-feedback to be effective and yield results, you have to be ready to make the improvements and receive the feedback and input of others. A closed mind will not benefit from the practice of self-feedback. You must move with intention and empower yourself to engage in the process actively.

I found many people have trouble doing the keto diet!

I think it's the best diet there is for those wanting to burn off their fat.

But you must learn to do it correctly. Here's why a customized approach to the keto is best.

You can check out what I think is an excellent customized keto plan. Get your own unique plan by going to wlmind.com/ck. 

That's w-l-m-i-n-d.com/c-k

For anyone trying to lose weight, I believe the Keto Diet will be your best choice. But, don't just jump into it without doing some study. If you do, you'll most likely fail. Not because the keto diet doesn't work, but because you lacked the correct knowledge to get a successful result.

Why a customized keto diet is the best approach?

Not everyone is the same. We all have different nutritional needs and we like different types of food.

The great thing about the keto is that there are so many delicious foods for you to eat. You don't have to give up everything and starve yourself.

Should I do the keto diet to lose weight? Is it right for me.

The short answer is YES! You should.

It's right for just about everyone. But like I said you have to know before you go. Learn about it first.

Then of course there's the health benefits. 

Things like:

Return to normal blood pressure

Handling type 2 diabetes

Normal cholesterol levels

Much less inflammation

More energy in the body

A lot more clarity and focus in the mind

Feeling satisfied after eating for a longer time

Many heart issues resolve quickly

Faster recovery from hard work or exercise

No longer feeling tired after eating

Fogginess disappears

Look, I've personally experienced many of these wins from doing the keto. I don't do it 100% of the time. I might do it for 3-6 months a year. I feel the body remembers because it gets easier to go into keto each time.

I really suggest you look into having a go at it. Try it the right way. Try a customized approach like the one I mentioned earlier.

If you really try it out the right way and I mean a good try, you'll understand what I've been trying to convey in this podcast.

I believe keto is the best dieting style for people who need to lose weight fast. I also believe that getting a customized keto plan will be the most helpful for you.

A potential client once said something that was a total shock to me!

It was painful, but it created an effect in my life I never expected.

Have a listen to my story! Have you had any similar encounters?

Sometimes all it takes is one sudden shock to wake you up and put you on the path to success. And hopefully it's one that doesn't cause too much adversity in your life.

I guess it's the nature of living in this modern society, but many times we ignore or don't heed the lessons being presented to us in our lives. We kind of become apathetical to life in a way and don't see what's happening right under our noses. 

One such awakening happened to me many years ago. 

At that time I was around 30 pounds overweight. My diet was totally out of control and I felt terrible most of the time, mentally and physically.

I'd like to share a product with you I found at that time that really helped me lose weight and recover my health. It'll make a big difference for you like it did for me. I guarantee it!

When you're trying your best to lose weight, nutrition is most often the difficult part. And, it’s the most vitally important part. It seems when we decide to lose some weight we kind of go blank on the best food choices. 

Let's take a look at these 4 easy and simple tips you can use to build some solid momentum on your health journey. 

1 - Stop buying junk food and keeping it at home

If it's not in the house, you won’t eat it. You won’t be as tempted to eat it at least. Maybe you just love some ice cream. But is it really worth getting dressed and going to the store to go get some? Most of the time, probably not. At least it gives you that slight edge so you can put in some self-control.

2 - Learn to eat slower by using a timer

When you eat fast it’s very easy to eat too much. It can take around 20 minutes for your body to register it’s had enough to eat. When you slow down it's easier to recognize your body’s hunger cues.

3 - You don't have to eat everything on your plate.

Most restaurant portions in the U.S. and other western countries are HUGE. So turning one meal into two meals means you don’t feel bloated and uncomfortable after lunch with friends. 

4 - Before every meal, drink a glass of water

A lot of the time when you think you’re hungry, you could just be thirsty. It has a similar feeling. Your body's telling you it needs something but it isn't always clear what it is exactly. When you drink a glass of water before you eat, it stops you mistaking hunger for thirst. Then you’re less likely to overeat.

Just pick one of these strategies at a time to try out. Really commit to sticking to it every day for a week or two. 

When it starts forming a habit, add in one of the other strategies. After you’ve gone through all of them, you’ll have rock solid portion control and mindfulness around food. 

You’ll have the confidence to keep yourself on the right track so you get the weight loss results you desire.

Do you love your body as it is right now?

Or are you disgusted by it, angry with it or very critical?

Practice learning to love your body before it's exactly how you want it.

Your health and your ability to lose weight depends on it!

Before we get into it, I want to give you a free report on the 20 Psychological Blocks to Weight Loss. Find out what's stopping you.

If you don't love yourself and your body right now, how can you expect to control your life the right way?

You can't wait until you achieve the desired weight loss results. Most of the time, it doesn't work like that. 

If you're willing to learn to love yourself and your body in order to lose weight successfully, here are some tips to help you get started. 

#1 Learn to listen to your thoughts, not your stomach 

Your eating habits are more of a reflection of your emotional needs rather than your physical ones.

#2 Pay attention to how food makes you feel

By learning to pay attention to the physical cues, rather than the mental and emotional ones, can help you make better choices for your health and well-being.

#3 Use self-reflection to gain a better understanding of yourself and why you do what you do 

As we live our lives we don't always get the opportunity to understand what went wrong or what happened to make us go off track. 

#4 Consider your relationships 

If your relationship with food has become a substitute for your relationships with others, then you are likely making unhealthy choices.

#5 Don't wait until you're perfect before you accept yourself

If you love your body unconditionally right now you'll be more willing to care for it. 

Final Thoughts

Unconditional support for yourself can help you find the path to successful weight loss that has eluded you in the past. It allows you to flip the script and undo old habits that have been holding you back. When you like yourself enough to want lasting good health and longer life, you'll enjoy the many benefits that come from this way of thinking, including lower weight and a happier self.
