There are more weight loss books, weight loss programs and weight loss “experts” than any other time in human history. Take a look at the people at your place of work tomorrow. If weight loss was about what we think it’s about, the problem would not keep growing as it does.

Here’s a trick that works every time. The fact of the matter is that you need lots of energy to lose weight. You need energy to exercise a couple days per week, energy to deal with your friends who really don’t want you to get in shape, energy to fight your old programming that’s not serving you, energy to change etc etc. If you don’t have energy, weight loss and a good life just aren’t going to materialize. Here’s how energy really works in the body and how you can get lots more energy by doing less.

There are only 2 emotions in the entire Universe, love and fear. Fear is the seed of all negative emotions. Love is the seed of all positive emotions. Fear drains the body of energy. For example, sports stars (like Mohammad Ali) were famous for psyching out their opponents. All that really means is that certain athletes have a skill of instilling fear in their opponents. Mohammad Ali used to remind his opponents how many TV viewers were going to see them lose the fight etc etc. Fear is a weapon because it weakens the body at a cellular level. The body can’t produce high levels of energy in a state of fear. When fear is experienced by your body (via the 5 senses) the body produces chemicals that mimic the fear. Those chemicals (called neurotransmitters) then travel through the body, making it weak. The most talented martial arts experts know that controlling their fear is more important than any other skill they have because fear brings instant metabolic weakness. If you’re weak, it doesn’t matter how skilled you are………..you’re basically paralyzed.

Have you ever been in a theatre during a scary part of a movie? You know it’s not real but you still jump. Your body senses fear without a filter. Your body doesn’t know what’s real and what’s not real. Your body acts like everything it senses is happening right in front of it. Everything from violent commercials on TV to violent movies and from violent images in the newspaper to violent music weakens your body just because of the way the body processes all fear based emotion. You know the violence is not right in front of you but your body doesn’t. Not only do the chemical changes to fear drain the energy you need to accomplish your weight loss goals……those same chemicals block fat burning and increase fat storage.

Live in peace, think peaceful thoughts, expose yourself to peaceful events etc. (limit or eliminate your media exposure – it’s called taking a “media vacation”) Start with not watching any news channel or reading newspapers. (especially CNN – that’s a weight gainer all on it’s own) What you feed your body is important. What you feed your mind is more important. Accomplish weight loss by reducing and eliminating your exposure to anything negative, especially any violent images. It will help your weight loss. I promise.

Even watching this video will modify your metabolism for weight loss and health. All positive emotions prime the body for lowered body fat, lowered water retention and lowered weight. Next time you go to the movies, think about if you want your pick to make you fat or not. What happens when you combine a scary or violent movie with the fat gaining food served in our movie theatres? You really don’t want to know.
