Proper focus key to success for weight loss hopefuls

MELBOURNE, Australia - May 23, 2018 - PRLog -- Willpower is not enough: mental re-framing of unhealthy eating habits needed to make lifestyle changes permanent.

Ormond, VIC – Weight loss can be a difficult endeavour to undertake. It requires the alteration of deeply ingrained eating habits, many of which are triggered by everyday events.

Despite this, recent articles on the subject have promoted mindful eating and mindset change as a panacea for those struggling with the shape of their body.

Conventional weight loss wisdom misleading dieters

Trident Wellbeing, a local wellness company based in the Melbourne area, has come out against this advice, as they claim it focuses too heavily on willpower and self-discipline to be effective.

Strategies such as meditating on the flavour of a healthy meal may make it more enjoyable to consume, but it does nothing to address the underlying desire to eat foods forbidden by their diet.

Efforts focusing on self-denial are similarly doomed to failure. Dieters often try to quit certain foods by sheer force of will, but these initiatives are frequently unsuccessful, as the subconscious mind doesn't register negatives.

Told it can't have something, your brain will instead focus intently on the subject in question, regardless of your desire to avoid it. You will then begin to crave banned foods with increasing strength until you succumb to temptation.

Some place their faith in affirmations, as they believe the habitual repetition of empowering phrases (e.g. 'My body is fit, trim, and healthy') will reboot their mind. However, intention without action never yields any measurable results.

Mental reprogramming the most effective way to achieve a healthy lifestyle

Let's be clear – those who have successfully lost weight and kept it off have used the power of their mind to achieve their goals.

Rather than focus on meditation, foods they can't eat, or meaningless mantras, they have instead opted to reprogram their mind by viewing unhealthy eating as an inherently unacceptable act.

How do they do this?

They research the triggers which lead them to order fast food, and they replace it with healthy alternatives.

They uncovered limiting beliefs which have sabotaged their weight loss efforts before (e.g. my metabolism is naturally slow, my body type won't let me lose weight, etc), and disempowered them.

They learned about chronic conditions caused by unhealthy eating such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and pancreatic cancer. Horrified by the thought of contracting these life-changing disorders, it became much easier for them to avoid foods which speed their development.

By rewiring their mind, those who have successfully lost weight are unlikely to ever gain it back, as they have fundamentally altered their relationship with food.
