This I am about to reveal to you is not just any weight loss trick.
It’s not about a new way to cut calories, eat less, do a weight loss activity, or drink a smoothie. Still, it’s not the first time I’ve heard of it.

And after hearing it recommended by many psychologists, I find it recommended by nutritionists like  Kimberly Snyder , who is famous for collaborating with the editorial staff of the Dr. Oz show.
And what would this incredible weight loss secret be that isn’t about diet or exercise? Stop being overly critical of yourself. Stop looking in the mirror and have only mocking words for yourself. Stop wanting the moon from your body. Before now I thought that having a soft and tolerant attitude towards yourself was the best way to forgive yourself too many cheats.

Instead, reading the weight loss recommendations of many established nutritionists, one of the tips that often concluded their articles was “be patient with your body”, “don’t be hypercritical”, etc.

Why should we be patient with our body?

Whatever physical form we want to achieve, hoping to set achievable and non-idealized goals, our body needs time.
Two people can go on the same diet and have profoundly different weight loss results.
One may lose weight after a week, the other may not lose weight on that diet or lose it after 3 weeks. Each body has its own times.

Why shouldn’t you be hypercritical?

Kimberly calls it ” negative talk “, that is, talking to oneself in negative terms, despising oneself, perhaps in the mirror. Which invalidates, that is, it renders nothing, any diet. Incredible but true. While those who are enthusiastic, encourage themselves, are optimistic about their body image, they tend to lose weight regardless of the diet they do.

The mind , explains Kimberly, plays a decisive role in shaping one’s body: not only what we eat, but also how we think about ourselves causes the body to lose weight.
Does it sound like hot air? Then I will conclude this article with 2 very interesting data.

One concerns a certain Jon Gabriel , who has become very famous abroad for the Gabriel method, an approach defined by all as “holistic” to weight loss.
Jon was obese, but when he escaped the 9/11 attack (he must have been on one of the planes) he decided to stop throwing his life away and do something to improve himself.
Jon has lost weight in an extraordinary way, his case is unique in the world. In fact, he has become another man, reducing his body weight over the years with a healthy diet and exercise, but without any surgery, not even for the removal of the skin. His skin has stretch marks, but it’s not relaxed.
It is as if the body has decided to dry up.

According to Jon, this is due to the idea of ​​”thinking oneself thin”: he explains that to get your body out of the trap of a wrong body image you have to think and act as if you were thin.

I’m losing weight, I’m doing things that will make me lose weight, I already feel better, etc., are the phrases that Jon says that must be repeated over and over, every day, even for hours.
Here I will explain everything about his method. 

Another fact is the news of a study conducted by Harvard University.
Two groups of women followed a low-calorie diet and exercise.
One group was instructed on the type of diet and expected weight loss, another group was left in the dark but were encouraged that they would lose a lot of weight. They didn’t know how many calories they were consuming and what weight loss they should have had according to the researchers.

Which women have lost weight?
Those who, without knowing how much they would lose and what diet they were on, had been convinced by the researchers that they would lose weight and were encouraged.

What should we not think about, in essence?

That we will fail, that we are destined to gain weight, that we are not normal (typical thought of many overweight women), that we have a broken metabolism, that nothing will work for us. Let’s focus on thoughts that are contrary to these, that is positive: we will be thin, we are already losing weight, we are having success, we are taking care of ourselves, we love our body. And we will lose weight more easily.
