I Don’t Have Time To Go On A Diet…
Does this sound familiar? I don’t have time to go on a diet! How many times have you thought and said those words to yourself: “I should start a diet, but I don’t really have the extra time for it.”
Now, think about this seriously for a second (If you’ve got one!)…
Does it take more or less time to eat less food?
Of course it takes less… then where is the problem really?
As you must know by now our problems are alive and well in our thoughts. So many people complain that it is too hard to go on a strict diet and go to work-out at the gym 3 times a week, but isn’t it worth the effort?
Sure it is. But again, how do we do that?
Well, changing habits takes between 21-30 days of practicing new action habits on a daily basis. But how will you find the time to go to the gym everyday for the next 30 days???
You don’t have to!
Research shows that by exercising 20 minutes 3 times a week (even a fast walk is enough) you can find activities that you already do daily and just make sure you keep doing them 3 times a week for 20 minutes.
For example:
1. Play ball with your kids.
2. Take a walk with your spouse.
3. Walk to the supermarket (find one that is a 20 minute walk away) and meet your spouse there, do your shopping and drive back.
4. Go on an outing with your children. It will be fun for all. Have some family fun time. Put on some music and jump around or dance together.
5. Find a home exercise tape and do it for 20 minutes.
6. Take the dog for a long brisk walk.
7. Wash your house floor and clean the windows.
8. Walk up and down the stairs for 20 minutes (only if your health allows it).
Be creative! But make sure it happens.
Here are some tips that will help you keep your new habits for 30 days:
1. Write them down on your calendar.
2. Hang them up on your fridge.
3. Ask your family members to help you and monitor yourself.
4. Ask a good friend to join you on the voyage and you can remind each other.
5. Print out: “I practice happily for 20 minutes 3 times a week, have I practiced today?”
Be excited!
Find what you like to do that involves physical exercise and just do more of it.
Remember the research that we mentioned in our book:
Hotel maids who were told that their daily work is going to make them lose weight and lower their blood pressure have seen a remarkable change. All this can be done with no extra work!
So if you tell yourself that only with a little more effort then you used to do – you will lose lots of pounds, this is what will eventually happen!!!
Have Fun!

Lose Weight – While Eating Chocolate Chip Cookies
“How do you do that? How do you eat cookies and cakes every time I see you, and still stay thin!?” This is something I hear all the time. Well, there is an easy answer for that, but it is never easy for the asking side to hear it…
My answer is: “I just eat it, and stay thin…”
I am deeply sorry if this is annoying you too, but here is the great news: I learned it and practiced it (and still am) so ANYONE can do that too!
It is truly easy, but the only thing you need to do in order for that to last forever, is forget all those things you’ve learned until now, and be willing to at least try what we are talking about for 3 months.
What is the worst thing that can happen? You’d lose some pounds?
So here are the main things that I practice:
1. I learned to LOVE what I see in the mirror, NO MATTER HOW MUCH I WEIGH!
2. I love my food. I eat with joy, and I thank my food for helping me keep my health and figure.
3. I stopped fighting and accusing myself for what I ate after eating. I actually FORGET what I eat, and give it no second thought after I eat.
4. I practiced with my subconscious to believe that the house chores that I do are helping me keep my weight off as if was exercising at the gym.
5. I practiced with my subconscious to believe my metabolism is getting better everyday.
Trust me, when you manage to do the same for 3 months (on a daily basis) your success is promised.
