Eating Consciously for Natural Weight Loss

We don’t want to think about what we’re eating.  We just want to eat.  But if you’ve been eating excess foods, the only way to change the habit is to first become conscious of exactly what you are eating. 

Conscious eating has four levels.  The first level is planning what you are going to eat.  The second level is eliminating nonfoods that cause fuzzy thinking, forgetfulness and excessive consumption.  The third consciousness level is focusing on the food as you consume it.  And the final level of consciousness and most powerful is observing your own behavior.

This book will take you through the four consciousness levels.  It will teach you how to apply each level to your life and provide you with affirmations for each level.

Affirmations are important, because you’re teaching yourself to do something different from what you’ve done in the past.  And what really works in maintaining a weight loss is repetition.  Repeat, repeat, and repeat!  You’re repeating your new eating habits.  You are changing your life style.  You are not going to revert to the way you used to eat. 

Influenced by the mass hypnosis, I used to think that if I lost the weight, I could then eat everything I had missed while I was dieting.   That’s the yo-yo, (the insane) thinking.  If you eat what you always ate, you get what you always got...fat.

Do You Eat Unconsciously?

I define unconscious eating as eating without being totally aware of what or how much you have eaten.  In Webster’s New World Dictionary it is defined as not aware of; not realized or intended (an unconscious habit).  To find out whether you eat unconsciously, complete the following questionnaire.
