Ever heard a story of the guy or a girl, say: I lost weight and then I gained it right back within weeks.

yes, its quite common. In fact it happens every day. People lose and gain weight, most of them dont even know why. They go from one diet to the other, buying next advice right after previous didn’t work. Searching for the best diet there is. Searching for the answer.

Well the answer is pretty simple.

Keep searching. Those who seek shall find. And you will. The main thing is not to stop. When you keep on searching, you learn new things and get answers to your questions. those answers then open up new ground for you to raise different more profound questions, which keeps you searching even more. So please continue doing it!

Now, I believe were getting over the threshold where people already know that there is no best or worst diet on the planet or in the universe. All diets are great and all diets work. If you work them.

Most people however are in the instant gratification mode and expect things to change immediately, without realizing it took them 20, 30 or for some even 40 years to get to the point where they are at now and they expect to change their behavior, habits and metabolism system virtually overnight, as they finish munching on a last crumb of Cheetos while watching late night TV infomercial.

It ain’t that easy.

The reason being is: homeostasis.

Its a fancy, technical term meaning “balance”. Homeostasis is what universe is based on, it finds balance between things, it makes things neutral, peaceful and somewhat constant.

here is an image that best describes homeostasis:

Homeostasis

Basis premise is. You and your body, (naturally) does everything to stay in the state of comfortable balance which is the middle line. And as soon as conditions change, for instance you get cold, your body starts to shiver to make you warmer, so it brings your temperature up. If youre hot, your body starts to sweat and makes your body temperature go down a notch so you feel colder.

Same thing with everything. Your Subconscious mind has a setting virtually for everything in life, money, social skills, your attitude to health, your body weight, etc.

if you go into extremes one way or another, homeostasis will immediately force you to bring it back to normal. And that is why diets and for the same matter other habit changing attempts usually don’t work. or they rather work for a while and then person usually finds themselves in the same spot where they started.

so what is the solution you say? Well solution is changing your subconscious programming first. Until you do that, other things are not so important. You either must become a fanatic of sports, which means you exercise every day and those people who do, they get results. Behaving like this, they also change their subconscious mind and their habits become naturally wanting exercise and healthy living.

Other thing you can do. is start with the visualizations. Sit down, relax, close your eyes and imagine yourself working out every day. Imagine yourself, being in good health, good perfect body shape. Reinforce that with actual images of other nice, fit looking people from magazines or modified(photoshoped) images of yourself on someonelse’s body. do it daily. do it now.

At first it will be difficult to visualize, your mind will tell you its not reality, why even bother thinking about it. But do it anyway. don’t listen to your mind. Your mind(in this case) works against you. Your subconscious controls your mind. Be aware of that and still persist on imagining yourself doing the thing.

Then You can slowly start doing it. Start exercising. Just few minutes a day at first. then increase, then increase more.

Read literature on the subject. Reinforce your mind with new provoking thoughts, ideas and new beliefs about diets.
