  • Two New Rules to Help You Finally Get Over the Weight Loss Hump

    No one who succeeds with any diet and exercise program does so through will power, discipline, and plain old fashioned grit. That just isn’t reality. People succeed because it’s easy for them. Their bodies are structured to succeed, to easily proceed with diet and exercise programs. They succeed...

  • Dear Obese Woman or Man: It Is Not Your Fault

    For so many years we have been hearing old fashioned diet gurus and fitness experts say, “you just gotta want it,” and “it’s really all about willpower.” The reality, though, is that for those looking to make a change (vs. those who are already lean) - these principles don't apply.Listen,...

  • Mainstream Diets Often Similiar to Quitting Heroin

    The sentinel change we seek to actually succeed and lose weight is a change to our body’s response to diet and exercise. To make a few comparisons, consider 1) the withdrawal of a heroin addict or 2) the power of the human sex drive. Both occur because of brain signaling disruption just like the...

  • Magic Coins That Keep You On Your Diet

  • The Willpower Myth

    At any given time in America, there are more than 200 million people on a diet. Each one of these people averages 4 to 5 formal attempts to lose weight each year, and more than 95% of them fail.
