We are doing a lot of new work with a couple MD's who are
experts at how the brain works and how the subconscious mind
works.
One theme that is clear to us is this- the brain and the stomach
are deeply connected. And the brain, for many of us, is the
gatekeeper to the stomach.
You might be summoning all the willpower in the world, but
if the brain wants to do something, it is going to do it.
Even the best of us lose total control, more often than we'd like.
The question then becomes- what is the best way to re-program
the gatekeeper? The good news here is that there are ways to
reprogram, bribe and cut deals with the gatekeeper/brain.
Simple tricks like writing down your daily goals on a notecard
work well. This tells your brain, "hey, we made a DEAL." And the
gatekeeper sometimes says "ok, I will honor that deal."
Other times it is not so simple. The reasons that the brain takes
over are varied. Sometimes this is rooted in traumatic events
in our past that we are struggling to deal with. Oftentimes these
reactions get clumped into something that we all call "issues
with food."
For many people it can literally take DECADES to gain the upper
hand in their battle with their emotions- and the gatekeeper
of their responses to stimulus. This is extremely common and
can happen to very good people.
Good people who often feel bad about how they are reacting.
We built the Point Of No Return Program years ago to help
with this exact issue, of how to reprogram and better deal
with our responses with food. This is one excellent, proven
tool that we highly recommended digging into- or digging
back into.
Here is what Kathy M said recently in the PEERtrainer Leaders
Group. (that is a link to the group)
"After decades of yo yo dieting, this program is what FINALLY
got me in the right thinking, which, as most people who have
food issues, is the first and most important thing to get right.
My brother, who just turned 40, had been the same as me....up and
down through the years. He did PONR and lost 40 or so pounds and
now instead of looking like the music professor that he is, looks
more like a student."
Kathy has a longer description of her experience with the
program on this page:
http://www.peertrainer.com/coaching/
This was the first premium program we created at PEERtrainer, and it remains
a core part of "PEERtrainer University."
The program is priced at $77 and we recently turned the 1/2 off sale back on, to help encourage people to try it for $38.50-- this offer is going to end
tonight.
We offer a 100% guarantee for any of our programs so there is no risk to you.
This program has been going for almost 5 years now, and is part of many many
peoples "big success."

Our suggestion with this program is to save the class MP3s to your iTunes or
wherever you keep your music. This was you can access them forever.
The peer to peer sharing of experience and wisdom in the leaders group
has been amazing. We are so grateful for the generosity of the people
there. We know that there is an overwhelming amount of information
within PEERtrainer- this new group is a great resource to help guide you
to the right place, or find the answer to whatever you are working on personally!

PS: The next cleanse starts June 28th. If you are on the road or have a
funny schedule, join the cleanse course itself, and then just commit to
a shake with fiber in the AM.
Step 1: Join the course here, choose option 1:
Step 2: learn how to make a great breakfast shake. Here are some
great recipes:
Tip: Do not use whey or soy. Period. Make every effort to
use the shakes that we advise. Yes, we sell them. But they
work really well, and don't have any junk in them. We constantly
see people shift from whatever brand to the thorne pea/rice or
pea/potato shakes (JJ's)
JJ's is an all in one shake, and the regular vegalite are for those
who are more into their own creations.
Here is a comment that Lisa made in the PT Leaders group
when someone asked how to do the cleanse when you
had a crazy schedule:
"The
shakes are the key. Have one of those each morning -they keep you full
and energized. I just recommitted myself to cut out the bad stuff and I
am amazed at how easy it is - not always but most of the time - to pass
on things that you know won't contribute to your goal."
Again, this page has some great recipes and tips for making them
taste great:
