Eliminate Diet Sabotage
These simple steps to losing weight will help you overcome carb craving.  You will learn the essential tips to stop binge eating.  You’ll see how to find the ideal diet for your body – for life. Then I’ll pass on the secret of how to stop diet sabotage.  All this results in easy weight loss for you.

How to Start Losing Weight

1. Find your ideal diet

2. Learn ways to end carbohydrate cravings and curb sugar cravings

3. Reduce the stress that drives you to eat when you’re not really hungry

4. Move your body

This website is focused on the mind body and soul methods that will enable to you attract a life of abundance. So I’ll be focusing mainly on numbers 2 and 3. I’ll point you to my favorite books and websites for the other two steps to losing weight (coming soon – check back often).

And, you may want to follow me on my Getting Healthy Project blog. Here you can witness me as I experiment with combining the Paleo and Zone diets and exercise. (And using lots of EFT and energy medicine movements.) My intent is to radically improve my health and fitness!

How to Stop Binge Eating
The way to stop binge eating is to eliminate the root causes of your need to binge. Actually, it’s not as gnarly as it sounds!

I’ll show you how to stop emotional eating with energy psychology techniques like meridian tapping. In fact, you can go directly to the Stop Self Sabotage EFT Script for a powerful start.

This is one of the essential steps to losing weight. The ultimate way of breaking free from emotional eating is to do the Personal Peace Procedure. You can sign up for her free book at http://www.attract-a-life-of-abundance.com/eft-and-weight-loss.html.

Warning – that method is only for you if you are serious about losing weight and improving your life. It is not a method for wimps.

Also, find more information about using meridian tapping as part of the free online diet plan at EFT and Weight Loss. You’ll also find an EFT Script on Craving Control here.

When you are able to stop binge eating, you will be losing weight without exercise.

Meaning of Food Cravings
Food cravings are caused by four different things (at least).

1. Starving for Essential Nutrients
If you are eating a diet containing lots of white foods (pasta, white rice, bread, pastries, potatoes) or fried foods, fast foods or junk foods…your body is lacking essential nutrients. Pretty obvious, right?

So, you’re starving all the time, even while eating gobs and gobs of food. That’s your body saying, “Feed me what I need!”

You will continue to be hungry, even if you’ve eaten a lot. Your body is craving what you’re not giving it.

If you do what these girls are doing, one of your first steps to losing weight is to start eating real, whole food.

That means fresh vegetables, meat, quality fats and some fruit.

2. Endless Cycle of Carb Craving
When your diet is high in sugar and/or starchy carbs you will crave more of them.

That’s why we have the joke of leaving a huge Chinese dinner and wanting more food in a half hour.  When you eat a big meal and immediately want something sweet – look at what you ate in the meal. Was it high carb?

This sets you up for wanting more carbs. High carb eating creates a biochemical cycle of wanting more and eating more carbs.

Of the steps to losing weight, this one can be pretty hard at first. You may go through a week of intense carb craving while you train your body to get its nutrients from your body fat instead.

3. Emotional Eating for Comfort
When we are feeling unpleasant emotions, we often turn to food for relief. And carbs are the most comforting comfort foods on the planet!

They just make us feel good – loved, nurtured, safe. What we go for is individual.

Here are some of the high carb comfort foods I crave when my system is off:

• Bread – especially warm bread with butter and honey (my mom baked bread when I was a kid. I loved it fresh and hot with butter and honey)
• Pastries – croissants and English muffins are special favorites
• Pancakes – with butter and maple syrup
• Popcorn – with butter (and sometimes honey too)
• Macaroni and cheese
• Ice cream (the richer the better – forget the low fat versions)
• Potatoes or yams or squash with lots of butter (of course)
• French fries
• Donuts
• Corn chips with any of a variety of dips
• Potato chips, or those fancy new veggie chips

I used to crave exactly this carb craving food and eat it nearly every night – and often in the day too. (That’s when I weighed 25 pounds more than I do now)  So I know what it feels like to be at the mercy of your carbohydrate craving.

I lost 25 pounds without dieting and without being hungry when I cleared the issues that taught me this meaning of food cravings.  That was truly easy wieght loss! (Yea, I know it’s weight loss)

See EFT and Weight Loss for more information on one of the important steps to losing weight.

4. Your intestinal flora is telling you what to eat
Skip this part if you’re squeamish about tiny things living in your gut.  Inside your body is a thriving inner ecosystem of micro-flora (good bacteria and yeast) that keep you healthy and strong.

These healthy bacteria and yeast (a type of fungi) help you digest food, absorb nutrients, regulate your blood sugar and manufacture vitamins and minerals.

But if you eat too much sugar and processed foods, take drugs, live a high stress lifestyle or don’t get enough sleep…you create an environment inside your body that encourages the growth of pathogenic (bad) bacteria and fungi like Candida albicans.

Candida, and those other bad guys, love carbs and sugar! They make YOU have carbohydrate craving, even if you are “full.”   This is why what you eat is so important. It’s not just about calories in – calories out.

Why Weight Loss on an Abundance Site?
Living in abundance and creating an abundance mentality is all about feeling good about yourself.  When you are uncomfortable, tired and feel unattractive, it’s harder to attract a life of abundance.

Losing weight is one of the essential steps to losing weight. Getting fit and healthy are an integral part of all of our paths to overall wholeness, wellness and living an abundant life.

Transformation works both ways – from the inside out and from the outside in. Living in abundance and being fit and healthy go hand in hand.”
