Interesting day in the weight loss department of my practice. Everyone was a "winner" this week with a range of 3 to 12.8 pounds lost in one week. Women usually lose an average of 3 to 5 lbs. a week and my 12.8 pound loser-winner was a man. He is actually the biggest one week loser we have had to date. We have had other 12 pound one week losses for men but the 12.8 cinched the record. I had 3 women and two new men clients this week so far that I had to do personal one on one sessions with to change beliefs. (update Feb 28, 2013 this record has been surpassed with a one week 16.4lbs lost, an 18.8 lbs. lost and most recent 21.5 lbs. lost for first week male clients. Men always lose more weight faster but an 8lb first week loss for a women is common.)
Today a woman weight loss patient told me she absolutely hates to cook and dreads the ordeal every day. Fact of the matter is that she does not know how to cook, I am serious, she hates it so much that she has never taken the time to learn how to cook a chicken breast and vegetables for a stir fry. Now, the fact that she does not know how to cook could also play a role in this "dread" she experiences. The first thing I did in session with her is erase the feelings of dread that she experiences around 4pm, knowing that she is going to have to scrounge up something for the family, McDonald's anyone, is the common theme she confesses, a couple times a week.
I administered several passes of the DEEP Release Clear Mind Process and erased dread, frustration, overwhelm, anger, irritation, guilt and shame. Then we created a belief statement, "I am a good cook and I enjoy making healthy meals for my family." She was not congruent with that statement initially, in other words there was no "software program" in her subconscious mind to support that statement. In a matter of minutes however, I successfully downloaded a new belief statement and with a gleam in her eye, she repeated the new belief to me with conviction and purpose. A mere ten minutes earlier she told me she hated to cook, that she was a terrible cook, she dreaded dinner time and she hated to eat what ever she prepared in the kitchen.
She left my office excited to go to the store and prepare her first real dinner for her family, with a protein, vegetables and new spices. I reviewed with her how to cook a chicken stir fry and I described the visual beauty of the veggies in the pan and the interesting variety of spices she will use that her family will absolutely love. She demonstrated an immediate and dramatic shift in emotion, thought and behavior- from seriously negative to highly positive, from feelings of dreading to cook to excited and enthusiastic.
There was no way that she was ever going to successfully keep her weight off unless she made the pivot into enjoying cooking a good healthy meal in her own kitchen. My slim down program is all about weight loss for life, reaching a target goal and gaining the weight back is not at all acceptable. I always stress in all my blogs and to all my slim down clients that weight loss and weight gain is 50% physical or the diet and 50% mental/emotional/habit and I strive to address both.
One reason our patients achieve weight loss for life is because once they reach their ideal target weight and their program of weight loss is over, we do not abandon them. Really, the program is never over for these people, they continue to come in for frequent and periodic body comp weigh-ins for NO Charge. This is essential that they have life time follow up, accountability and coaching on how to lose any early weight gains on their own with regular foods. We say NO Charge because there cannot be any barriers to them coming in for these vital checkups and coaching. Emphasis is always on weight loss for life and self empowerment.
Until next time, Dr. Mark Doyle.
