Weight Loss Tools that can change your life for the better.

Here are some of the references I recommend for your continued growth and learning. Much of what they teach will be incorporated into the teachings on this web site.

Books

Weight Loss - Free e-book by Jessica Ortner one of the creators of the Tapping solution Summit that happens every year- Great EFT information with a focus on weight loss!

The Appetite Awareness Workbook: How to Listen to Your Body and Overcome Bingeing, Overeating, and Obsession with Food by Linda W. Craighead (2006-02-01)

Constant Craving A-Z: A Simple Guide to Understanding and Healing Your Food Cravings (Hay House Lifestyles)

By Doreen Virtue. This is a great little book to investigate what your specific food cravings might be about at a deeper "craving" level, your other hungers or needs can be more easily determined with the help of this reference. 

I like to use this book in my practice when someone is craving the same food over and over to see what the  metaphysical meaning may be.  I have never had a patient say "Oh no that's not what I am experiencing", usually their mouth is open when they say "Oh my God how did you know that" because it is spot on.  Then you can do EFT or great self care work to clear the issues and the craving goes away.

Energy Medicine for Women: Aligning Your Body's Energies to Boost Your Health and Vitality

Even though this book is for women the back chapter has critical information for balancing energy in your body for weight loss. Get the book and practice every process that she recommends that applies to you. It will make a HUGE difference. I have a very detailed PDF summary of all the energy medicine techniques for weight loss, if you send me your e-mail and ask for that I will send it to you. Also see my page on this site Energy Medicine Tips.

When Women Stop Hating Their Bodies: Freeing Yourself from Food and Weight Obsession

By Jane Hirshman and Carol Munter - these two ladies are two of the original founders of a non-diet approach to weight loss.I was one of the first Dietitians ever to follow their work and teach a non-diet approach to weight loss. Back then it was radical for the Dietitian to do such a thing unlike today where there is a lot of information out there because many have realized DIETS DON"T WORK!

Feeding the Hungry Heart: The Experience of Compulsive Eating

 By Geneen Roth - another founder of the non-diet approach to weight loss, any of her books are helpful.

The Yo-Yo Diet Syndrome: How to Heal and Stabilize Your Appetite and Weight by Doreen Virtue (2010-04-15)

She also has audio tapes, very spiritual and comprehensive approach to the roots of what keeps weight on your bodies.

Radical Forgiveness: A Revolutionary Five-Stage Process to Heal Relationships, Let Go of Anger and Blame, and Find Peace in Any Situation

By Colin Tippin - often there are issues of forgiveness that need to be explored for you to be free of excess weight.

Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life, 3rd Edition: Life-Changing Tools for Healthy Relationships (Nonviolent Communication Guides)

By Marshall Rosenberg - this is where The Feelings Inventories and The Universal Needs List that I adapted for this work originated from. If you would like a copy of these charts (PDF) e-mail me and  I will be happy to send them to you. Using these daily to understand your feelings and needs can be life changing!

Audio Programs

Guided Imagery for various topics look for the one on Weight Loss and use it daily, it is great when you fell like you need to rest a bit to get refreshed and you can be transforming the mind at the same time, or it is great just before sleep at night.

Guided imagery (sometimes called guided meditation, visualization, mental rehearsal, and guided self-hypnosis) is a gentle but powerful technique that focuses the imagination in proactive, positive ways.

Guided imagery or guided meditation has the built-in capacity to deliver multiple layers of complex, encoded messages deep inside – positive, healing, motivating messages – through simple images, sensations, symbols and metaphors, received in an altered or trance-like state.

And because it mobilizes unconscious processes to assist with conscious goals, it can bring to bear much more of the whole person to get behind a desired end. You might say these positive messages act like a depth charge dropped beneath the surface of the self, where they can reverberate again and again, catalyzing continuous change.

Over the past 40 years, the effectiveness of guided imagery has been validated by research, demonstrating its positive impact on health, wellness, attitude, behavioral change and peak performance.

• Less than 10 minutes of hypnotic guided meditation can reduce stress, blood pressure, cholesterol and hemoglobin A1C levels in the blood.
• Guided imagery lowers anxiety and pain.
• It increases purposeful weight loss and smoking abstinence.
• Regular use of guided imagery can heighten access to emotional depth, humor, responsiveness to music, spirituality, intuition, creativity, abstract thinking and empathy.

Bright Line Eating- is very structured and takes a liberating stand against moderation. They use an addiction model, because for many people, eating even a small amount of an addictive food doesn’t make the craving go away—it makes it worse. This program was designed by a psychology professor with a Ph.D. in Brain and Cognitive Sciences Susan Pierce Thompson.  She has a 14 Day Challenge (for $14.00), a Boot Camp and a long term program she calls Bright Line Eating. If you think you are truly a food addict this might be the program for you.

I want everyone to see this movie, maybe several times and bring your family and friends. If you  watch it with them it makes it so much easier when you eating with them if they have the  same information that comes from this movie, they won't push back so much on your food choices and you won't have to try to explain it all to them.  Plus you may be the one that saves them from terrible illnesses from the  food they eat unknowingly making them sick and fat.  Pay attention to the mention that these ingredients are causing obesity, most of the USA is unaware of the  secret ingredients in  our foods that is making us sick and fat.  We must get informed and choose foods that do not have this stuff in them! What you don't know can hurt you.
