Avoiding The Health Care "Cookie Cutter"
Diet Industry methods and all other physically-based methods fail
primarily because they attack symptoms rather than root causes. But
they also fail because they treat all humans as essentially
identical--as the same basic "biological units." This
one-size-fits-all mentality results in a "cookie-cutter" approach
that totally ignores the unique, individual qualities and
characteristics God gave you personally that make you who you are.
What almost no one in the Diet or Healthcare Industries seems to
understand is that each of us has our own, unique reasons for being
overweight. And unless we identify and change our personal root
causes of obesity, we can't possibly win. But just in case you still
think modern medicine has the answer to your weight problem, here's
a real eye-opener.
Some Truly Scary Medical Advice
Do you know what surgeons tell their patients before they go "under
the knife" for weight loss surgery? During a recent TV special about
obesity in America, a patient asked the doctor, "Is this going to be
a permanent solution to my weight problem?" The doctor's response
was, "If you make the necessary behavioral changes after surgery,
then you'll lose weight and keep it off."
Necessary behavioral changes???
Wow, did that doc ever spill the
beans.
Although the patient didn't pick up on it, I sure did. The doctor was actually
making a powerful admission: That the real key to weight loss success is
not in the surgery, but in making the necessary behavior changes.
So
the real question we all should be asking is this: Knowing that, wouldn't
it be infinitely smarter to go directly to the behavior
changes...and spare ourselves all the pain, expense, anguish, and
scars that surgery involves?
The tragic reality of weight-reduction surgery is that virtually
everyone who undergoes it gains back all of their weight in three to
five years anyway. Why? Now you know why. Because they still haven't
dealt with the root causes of why they were overweight to begin
with.
The simple truth is that nobody succeeds at weight loss without
making the necessary behavior changes. If you try to make these
changes through will power and gritty determination, you're sure to
fail. In fact, the research proves that people who rely on will
power are most likely to gain weight, not lose it.
But if you make your changes where it counts--in the core attitudes
and beliefs that motivate your daily behaviors--then success will
become just as inevitable as failure used to be.
So the "bottom line" on weight loss success is this:
When your own core beliefs and attitudes support you,
losing your unwanted pounds is virtually effortless.
When they don't, it's all but impossible.
Yours in total health,
