How The Food Makers Captured Our Brains, The New David Kessler Book

From the New York Times article about the new David Kessler book:

“Why does that chocolate chip cookie have such power over me?” Dr. Kessler asked in an interview. “Is it the cookie, the representation of the cookie in my brain? I spent seven years trying to figure out the answer.”

Been hearing great stuff about it.  Read the review here.

What Has Worked For You In Terms Of Diet And Fitness?

In the Tip of The Day Program, after a bit of time, I ask subscribers this:

"One thing I need for you today is think about what has worked for you in terms of weight loss and diets, and email it to me. I talk a lot about "Diet Fusion" and how it is a very personal thing, that you need to tailor whatever diet you do to your own unique life. What have you done, what has worked for you, what stopped working for you. Things like that. Thinking about the successes can provide some insight."

I get some some of the best responses and realized, no one is seeing this great stuff but me!  So I'm going to start posting here.  Here's a recent one:

"My greatest success as a women health and fitness-wise is exercising in a group. I think that not only do women like to look good for men, they like to look good for other women. Women notice the little things, especially if you have achieved a weight-loss goal or fitness goal and you are looking a little trimmer.

Unfortunately, in today's economy, it is hard to afford to go somewhere where you have to pay for a membership. Thus, I have found myself falling off the wagon.

I am always trying, though, and have found the work-outs on cable TV (On-Demand) to be very helpful especially since you can choose from many different workouts to suit how you are feeling that day. Also, they are of various lengths of time so if you only have a little bit of time, there is that flexibility.

Having the right things in the fridge is always helpful. I am a "grabber" when it comes to hunger. I grab at the quickest thing possible and if you have grilled chicken breast on hand or things like yogurt, you can bring it along with you.

Today, there is nothing to "grab" that is healthy, so I just ate a piece of cake (my step-daughter made it for my husband for Father's day - I want to chuck it, but he says it stays!). I know I should not have eaten the piece of cake, but it was there.

Having the right things available is half the battle. As soon as my stepdaughter is gone from her visit with us, so is the cake!

Hope this was helpful."

Yes, pk, this was extremely helpful.  I have to have the right things in my fridge as well.  If I see fruit or carrots right there, at eye level, I just grab it.

"Enjoying Weight Loss" By Dr Roberta Temes Trial Offer, Letter From Michael Lovitch

Many of you have read some of the stuff we have written about hypnosis CD's. It is one of those things like Dr. Joel Fuhrman- completely rooted in fundamentals and it simply works.

 Below is a letter from Michael Lovitch, explaining why this product works. We have gotten to know Michael over the years. He is a good guy, very funny as well. We are also in the process of offering our "Point Of No Return" coaching program to his customers. The two programs work phenomenally well together, hence the cross promotion.

In the following letter Michael offers a special deal for PEERtrainer Tip Of The Day members- try the program for the cost of shipping ($6) for a month. The deal is the program works for 9 out of 10 people, and are happy to pay for it after they see it working. Here is the letter, please read what Michael has to say!

Hello,

You might not be aware that there is solid research behind a technique that has been proven to increase the results of weight reduction treatments by 97% during treatment.

And more importantly, increase the overall effectiveness POST TREATMENT by over 146%, demonstrating that it keeps on working over time. * Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology,1996).

The technique is not new. It is called medical hypnosis and has been approved by both the American Medical Association and the British Medical Association since the 1950s.

I know you might think it is silly or something you only see at a stage show – but I challenge you to have an open mind like Ann Carlo from Sag Harbor, New York:

"This is fabulous. Thought I forgot all about it yesterday, until I realized that I ate breakfast (which I rarely do), drank a lot of water, had a veggie dinner and DIDN'T EAT ANY SUGAR . . . A MIRACLE! Can't convince me that this system does not operate on some level . . . even though you're not always conscious of it at the time."

Five years ago, my company had the idea to create the absolute best hypnosis program that people like you or I could listen to at home and get results like the studies I mentioned above.

In fact, we wanted better results, and people are getting them.

The only way to do this is to find the best psychologist out there to create the program and support that person all the way.

We found this person in Dr. Roberta Temes.

Dr. Temes is on the Department of Psychiatry at the SUNY Health Science Center Medical School, and is the editor of the first hypnosis textbook used in medical schools to teach hypnosis.

She is the real deal, and the program she created for us has now helped tens of thousands of people end their weight loss struggle.

Although she has worked with some celebrities we cannot name, she also has also been able to help normal people finally gain control over cravings they never believed they would overcome.

"I am now down 20 pounds and still have not had any problems with stress eating (my lifetime habit is to overeat). I am also walking close to 5,000 steps per day now (a little over 2.5 miles) and into a size 16 from a 20/22 and people are finally beginning to notice. I personally thank you for your program even though I don't understand how it works. I am starting to like who I see in the mirror."

Here are some of the amazing things that will happen to you when you go through Dr. Temes seven session program:

* Cravings will be reduced instantaneously, allowing you to stop binging before you start

* New neural pathways will be created that empower you to replace unhealthy eating habits with healthy ones

* Experience effortless motivation without relying on willpower

* Your desire for sodas will be eliminated and replaced with a craving for WATER!

* Pounds will melt away as you automatically eat the right foods and right portions, while making exercise a part of your every day routine.

And that's just a tiny fraction of what will happen when you experience this 4 CD audio program.

The best part about this program is that it uses hypnosis, so there are no guide books or things you are supposed to do later. All you do is spend 15 minutes a day listening to the sessions and the changes start to happen.

Most people notice a dramatic change within just 21 days!

Because I am friends with Habib Wicks and because it is so important to your health that you are able to stop the self sabotage, we have created a risk free way for you to experience this program.

Try the CDs for only the cost of shipping ($5.95). If after 28 days, you find they aren’t working for you, just send them back and you will never be billed.

When you find they are working for you (Over 9 out of 10 people get results), you will just be billed three payments of $32.33. This is less than the cost of dinner for two at a chain restaurant!

Please follow the link, and get ready for a new thin you!
