We recently conducted a survey of the PEERtrainer community, and asked people a simple question. Did you gain or lose weight in 2011? The wonderful thing is about half the people who responded did!
For the people who lost weight, we then asked them what things they did differently. For the people who didn't, we asked them what their plan was for 2012. The consistency and contrast in both sets of answers was absolutely fascinating.
For the people who lost weight they overwhelmingly cited the changes to their diet. Dramatically more vegetables, less sugar, fewer fast carbs, less processed food and the elimination of gluten, dairy and other common allergens. Usually people did all these things in some combination.
Many people cited the Cheat System and the PEERtrainer Cleanse as helping them. Lots of people referenced our recommendation to read Eat To Live by Dr. Fuhrman.
The people who lost the most weight made very dramatic shifts, citing an "elimination" of a lot of the junk food. They did not cite "moderation" as the key to their success in 2011.
What The People Who Didn't Lose Weight Are Planning For 2012.
Of the people who didn't lose weight in 2011, many people stated that they plan on moving in the direction of the changes that the "losers" in 2011 did. More vegetables, work on reducing sugar, bad carbs, gluten and dairy.
One person said that their plan was the Fresh Start Cleanse and Cheat System- "doing it, not just talking about it!"
However, a vast majority are focusing their goals on exercise and discipline. This is usually expressed by a plan to "eat less and exercise more." One person even added the comment "duh, what else are you going to do??"
In general, among the people who did not lose weight in 2012, there was a common theme of needing to have more discpline, control, reduction in calories and dramatic increase in exercise.
So if you are one of those people who are thinking just in terms of exercising more and eating less, we'd really encourage you to look at the habits of the 2011 losers. That means get in the mindset of changing what you eat, and focusing less on exercise as the main path to weight loss.
Exercise is of course fantastic, and the more natural and enjoyable the better. But if you are not focused on an eating plan that in some way resembles the Cheat System or Cleanse, your odds of success, based on what we are seeing will be lower.
There are also people who are in a category where they are really struggling with sugar. What we would tell these people is that when people add the nutrient dense foods and also remove the foods that you remove on the cleanse- they get a handle on their cravings.
A Very Clear Pattern (And Success Roadmap!) Has Been Established
This isn't a 100% thing, but there is a very clear pattern that has been established. The key to focus on here is are clear success patterns that you can model.
How PEERtrainer Is Responding To This Survey
Based on what we are seeing with people who are moving from the planning to action phase of their 2012 plan, we want to put together something for you that will almost guarantee that you move into the "Loser" categegory for this year. Or at least have 100% confidence that you are going in the right direction, which is a major victory itself.
What we are doing is putting together a plan that will help you do everything that the successful losers from 2011 did.
Starting today, for a limited time, anyone who signs up for the PEERtrainer Cleanse will also get a free copy of the Magic Fridge Recipe Guide, and will get free membership to the PEERtrainer Mastermind program. That will give you support for a full six months.
Mastermind is designed for people who have already put some solid changes in place. It is designed to help you stay on track with you changes and also make some new ones.
Additionally, for the next 25 people who sign up we will send you a free copy of the newest edition of Eat To Live, by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. These three items together are sold for $74 separately.
All of these tools, combined with the Cleanse are all highly proven. And together they will serve as one of the best weight loss packages one could possibly do. The PEERtrainer Cleanse is the lynchpin of this, because it can give you some quick success in a short amount of time. The results have been so consistent.
When you are able to get some quick success under your belt, it helps you do everything else we recommend. Our advice becomes possible, and more of a reality for people.
And remember, you don't need to do any of this stuff 100%. Keep in mind our advice of going for the B+ not the A+. The most important thing here, no matter what, is that you shift your idea of what it takes to lose weight and keep it off.
The other reality here is that this advice we are putting out there is not what is commonly recommended. But the results we are seeing are crystal clear, and build upon trends we have seen for many years now.
If you are looking for a plan that you can have 100% confidence in for 2012, this is it. Come join us and make the shift.
