Is Weight Loss Possible Listening to Paul McKenna?

Diets come and diets go. You lose weight and gain more back than you started with on the "diet roller coaster". Now, the Dr. Phil of England claims he can make you thin by eating what you want, when you want it.

Is this a hoax or a revolutionary breakthrough?

Dr. Paul McKenna is an author and television host in the United Kingdom. The book and the TV series share the same name - "I Can Make You Thin". In his own words, "diets are the enemy of weight loss" and he maintains that his weight loss system is not a diet at all!"

Can this be true? If so, what have the nutritionists been feeding us all this time?

McKenna claims that if you:

* read his book (approximately 2 hours) * follow his instructions (4 Golden Rules) * listen to his hypnosis CD for 2 weeks * change your eating pattern

you will lose weight.

His 4 Golden Rules are:

1.) When you are hungry, eat 2.) eat what you want, not what you think you should 3.) eat consciously and enjoy every mouthful 4.) when you think you are full, stop eating

First, you need to make sure you are actually physically hungry and not emotionally hungry and eating for the wrong reasons.

Secondly, you should not deprive yourself of foods you really want, the so called "forbidden foods" that traditional weight loss plans have you steer clear of. It is a natural progression to want what you can't have and eventually most people cave in and overeat when they do.

Rather than fighting and resisting temptation, you should accept that you want the food, but control your intake and eat very slowly allowing yourself to become full.

In Mindless Eating, Professor Brian Wansink outlines experiments he conducted showing that people eat more when they are distracted by TVs, phones, and even reading. Dr. McKenna agrees and suggests eating slowly and consciously savoring every bite.

Everyone has an inner thermostat that tells you when you are full. The trick is to learn to listen to it and push away from the table when it says you are full. He dubbed it resigning from the "Clean Plate Club".

It is highly recommended to listen to the hypnosis CD for at least 2 weeks which will reinforce the concepts of the weight loss plan and help to establish your belief in the system.

The combination of changing both physical and emotional eating patterns has been used by millions of Brits and now, as Neil Diamond might sing, it's Coming to America!
