Even though we cannot actually direct you to a physical structure that we can identify as the weight regulator, your body operates as though one existed, and it must be perfectly synchronized for your body to stabilize at a normal weight.
Once the weight regulator has malfunctioned and moved your body’s set point to a higher level, it will probably remain there for life. In different people, the regulator picks different levels to settle at, which is why some people stay 20 pounds overweight all their life, whereas others remain 30 or 40 pounds overweight.
Any strategy you choose for controlling your weight must be one you can live with for the rest of your life. Obviously, that requirement eliminates traditional diets, drugs, liquid meals, and diet centers that sell food products. In the next post we’ll show you a weight-loss system you can not only follow, but enjoy, for life. This 28-day plan will teach you how to override your weight regulator’s attempts to maintain a higher weight than you desire. Although the program may initially involve some changes in your normal patterns, you’ll find them easy to make.
If you will commit to follow the plan precisely as outlined in the post, step by step, meal by meal, day by day, you’ll quickly become conditioned so the program requires little or on conscious effort. You will lose weight without feeling deprived. But even more important, you’ll begin to feel in control, and you’ll become confident that this time you’ll keep it off.
Give it a try! What have you got to lose but a few pound?
