If your goals is to lose weight, fit into that smaller pair of jeans or lose those last 5 pounds then this information is exactly what you have been looking for.

You see there are three patterns that keep people form living happily in their desired weight Fanatical dieting, Emotional Eating and Conditioning.

FANATICAL dieting

Just about every diet that is or has ever been on the market, has calorie guides, menus, and what not to eat food lists. Basically the plan of how you are going to DIET.

Let me make it quite clear from the on-set

A diet is a program set out to have control over what, where, when or how much you eat.

Did you know that scientific research shows 90% of people who attempt to lose weight FAIL? Just in case you missed that information, 90% of people fail at their attempt to lose weight.

All that diets have taught the 90% is how to get FAT and feel like a failure! My suggestion to the masses who are FANATIC DIETERS forget about dieting, FOREVER! The more you diet and fail the more convinced that you will never lose weight.

Studies worldwide have proved that depriving yourself of food is the worst way to lose weight; if you are currently doing this and it isnt working then you need to try something different.

EMOTIONAL EATING

Did you know that emotional eating is the second most proven reason for overeating, causing obesity in the world?

Eating because of boredom, loneliness, being miserable, tired and a million and one other emotional reasons, none of which has to do with actual physical hunger.

Emotional eating never makes your body feel satisfied; that is why people who eat this way never feel full. They never get the signal to stop eating because they wanted to satisfy their emotion not their hunger. Emotions can never be satisfied with food.

If you chose not to acknowledge the emotion it tends to nag at you, so to get rid of it you eat. By trying to block the emotion, it tends to nag you more and moreso you decide to eat more and more. The nagging will NEVER go away until you acknowledge it. Otherwise you will be forever EMOTIONALLY EATING.

However, this is where Emotional freedom Technique can help! It can help void all the negative emotions that cause you to overeat in the first place. The precept of Emotional Freedom Technique is thatALL negative emotions are caused by a disruption in the bodys energy system. Get rid of the disruption and you free yourself for the emotion.

As soon as you acknowledge the nagging (with emotional freedom technique) the emotion will simply go away.

The great thing is that you will never be a victim of emotional eating again using this technique. If you ever get tempted again to snack, ask yourselfare you really hungry or do you just want to change the way you feel?

And remember if it is that you just want to change the way you feel, then it isnt food that will answer your craving, and using Emotional Freedom Technique will help with that.

I have successfully used Emotional Freedom Technique on issues such as post traumatic syndrome, fear, abuse, OCD and many more. It often works where nothing else will, usually rapid, long lasting and gentle, no drugs or equipment involved, easily learned by anyone and can be self applied. My many workshop participants will testify to this.

CONDITIONING

If you are overweight, youre not lazy, crazy or a bad person. You have just conditioned your mind and body to be that way. No amount of dieting, will power, pills, and shakes can change that.

The only way to lose weight and keep it off is to change the way you think about food and your relationship to it. You have simply developed some very UNPRODUCTIVE habits.

The good news is that reprogramming the mind and body is as simple as using Emotional Freedom Technique that will guarantee your success. You dont even have to believe that it will work. It just does!

My simple 4 step method using Emotional Freedom Technique will not only help you lose weight but stop obsessing about food for ever

Our busy lifestyles and work demands mean that we often find it difficult to exercise our bodies as frequently as we should. This leads to tiredness, stress and reduced work performance.

However taking a short break to complete a few simple yoga postures at your desk can help to relieve stress and tiredness and refresh you for another work session.

To help you reduce the effects of working long hours at a desk or in front of a computer, Total.yoga.Practice suggests you periodically perform 2 simple yoga practices at your desk. The first part of this work relaxation series can be found in our free yoga newsletter

office yoga - part 2

Take a moment to clear your mind. Be conscious of your thoughts and how they erratically pop into and out of your mind. Actively still your mind by focusing on your breathing. Vigorously rub your hands together until you feel warmth on your palms. Place your hands on your face with your palms cupping your eyes and your fingers on your forehead. Open your eyes into your cupped hands and keep your body and mind still for a few moments.

Nadi Shodhana (alternate breathing)

Sit comfortably in your chair with your back straight. Hold your right hand in front of your face with the middle two fingers resting between your eyebrows. Your thumb should be above your right nostril and your ring finger above the left. Close your right nostril with your thumb and breathe in slowly and silently through your left nostril, until your lungs are full without straining. Release the right nostril and close the left nostril with your ring finger. Exhale through the right nostril slowly, keeping the duration of the exhale the same as the inhale. Inhale slowly through the right nostril. Release the left nostril and close the right nostril with your thumb while you exhale. Repeat the sequence 10 times making sure that your breathing is silent. This Pranayama is good for relaxing your mind.

Pandanguli Naman (Toe curling)

Sit upright in your chair with your back straight. With your feet on the ground, shoes off, inhale as you stretch the toes of both feet backward away from the floor. Exhale as you stretch your toes downwards to make fists with your feet. Hold each position for several breaths as you feel the stretch. Repeat 10 times.

Goolf Naman (Ankles bending)

Still sitting erect with your legs slightly extended, heels on the floor. Inhale as you bend at the ankle pulling the feet back towards your leg. Exhale as you push the foot forward trying to touch the floor. Hold each position as you feel the stretch. Repeat 10 times.

Goolf Chakra (Ankle rotation)

In the seated position with your legs slightly extended, heels on the floor. Starting with the right foot, keep the leg still as you rotate the foot at the ankle clockwise 10 times. Rotate 10 times in the opposite direction. Repeat with the left foot. Next rotate both feet together in a clockwise direction 10 times. Repeat, rotating 10 times in an anti-clockwise direction. Try rotating both feet at the same time, but in different directions, clockwise with the right foot, anti-clockwise with the left foot. Repeat, with the right foot rotating anti-clockwise and the left foot rotating clockwise. Throughout the exercise, inhale as the foot is rising, exhale as the foot in falling.

Janu Naman (Knee bending)

In the seated position, clasp your hands under the right thigh, raise and straighten the leg keeping your spine straight. Bend and contract the leg bringing the knee towards your chest, and heel towards your buttocks. Straighten the leg. Repeat 10 times and switch to the left leg and repeat 10 times. Inhale while straightening the leg, exhale as you bend the leg.

Seated forward bend

Sit with your back straight and your knees together. Bend forward allowing your head to move close to your knees. Remain in the bend for the count of ten as you relax all the muscles in your back. Breathe normally through your nose. This posture helps to relieve tension from your back.

Meru Wakrasana (Spinal Twist) - variation

Sit with your spine straight and your knees together. Keep your legs facing forwards and both buttocks on the chair as you slowly rotate your upper body to the right. Start the twist with your abdomen then chest, shoulders and neck as you look behind you over your right shoulder. Once you start the twist you may hold the back of the chair with your left hand to assist the twist, but with care not to over twist. Twist your spine as far as is comfortable and hold for the count of 10 as you breathe slowly through your nose. Repeat the spinal twist to the left.

Bent knee leg lift

Turn sideways in the chair so you can hold the back of the chair for support. With the legs bent, and without holding your legs, lift your feet off the ground and pull your knees close to your chest, without leaning forwards. Pull your knees towards the chest for the count of 10 while you breathe normally through your nose. Release your feet to the floor and relax for the count of 10. Repeat 3 times.
