Jon is like many of us who have tried every diet under the sun, and it is called yo-yo weight loss. It is because you lose weight then you gain it back, try again and the same results happen, and actually you gradually gain more weight than before. Jon was one of these people, and actually he weighed 410 pounds at one time. That is when he decided to change his approach to weight loss. Being a student at the University of Pennsylvania he did extensive studies in the field of biochemistry doing research with a renowned biochemist. Jon applied what he learned to weight loss and why we gain weight.

The whole theory behind his program is to get people eating the right foods to turn off what he calls the “Fat Programs”. In his book he writes about how during mans early times dating back to cave man era, our bodies where programmed to turn on these “Fat Programs” to keep warm and survive famine. His whole program in a nutshell is about today’s society not needing these “Fat Programs” turned on because we don’t suffer from freezing or famine. We must reprogram our subconscious mind to turn off these fat programs and eat the right foods. He tells about how processed foods destroy the nutrients our bodies need. By doing these things, our bodies can begin lose weight by taking in the right nutrients.

The total transformation program contains audio visualizations that you listen to before you go to bed at night, they help you go to sleep and gradually reprogram your subconscious mind. There are also included morning visualizations to help with the mind set to lose weight.

My opinion of this weight loss technique is that I believe that Jon is right on track with this program, as many people can testify to their own weight loss after following his steps to a healthier lifestyle. Already in the short time I have been using his weight loss plan, I feel better about my transformation with a positive mental attitude. My suggestion to anyone that has been on any yo-yo style weight loss diet plan to give The Gabriel Method a try, from what I see, it only makes sense. For those of you that think this might be just another diet plan, think again this is a total reprogramming of the way you approach what you put in your body by losing weight naturally and healthy.

The first thing you should do is consult your physician for a full body physical to rule out any obvious medical under lying problems. Thyroid problems are the most common reason for the inability to lose weight, but there are a number of other less frequent conditions that can also cause issues. A lack of iodine in the diet may be the source of some thyroid problems. Your physician can perform a urine test to check this if it appears to be a problem for you. Some signs of iodine deficiency include physical and mental sluggishness, skin or hair problems, and increased sensitivity to temperature.

If your doctor gives you a clean bill of health and cannot find any medical problem for why you can’t lose weight, your lifestyle is the next place to look. Many people fall into habits with their consumption and will eat unhealthy foods without realizing it or even intending to do so. Make sure you are eating enough protein and not too many carbohydrates. Excessive sugars and grains are easily converted to fat in the body and should be restricted to a small portion of your overall diet.

Simply jotting down the foods you eat and the time you ate them will help you analyze your daily routine and see if there are any obvious issues. For example, you may find that you frequently eat an unhealthy fast food lunch at work because you are to busy or it is easier. This can easily be fixed by spending some time in the morning preparing your own healthy lunch for the day, but may slip by unnoticed if you are eating healthy dinners and exercising after work.

Your body composition may also be the reason you can’t lose weight. Muscle cells burn far more energy while at rest than fat cells. If you do not have much muscle, your body may be able to maintain its current weight even when you do not eat very many calories. This leads to starvation diets, which only make the problem worse as the body compensates for the lack of nourishment. Many people get stuck in this cycle and do not realize that the only way out is to eat more food, not less.

In times of famine, the body is designed to slow its metabolism and conserve energy.

Set a weight loss start date and closing date. Have a weigh-in on the first day. Project a weigh in for the midway of the competition, and a weigh in for the last day. Make sure to account for clothing weight when weighing people. Don’t let anyone cheat by wearing heavy clothes in the beginning and light ones at the end.

Ask all participants to donate 25 dollars to the weight loss cause. Take all of the money and purchase a gift card. (Bank Visa cards that can be spent on anything are a great choice.)

To realize what caused you to become heavy or obese, you first need to understand your behaviors that have led to this condition. While genetic and environmental factors also play hefty roles, certain behaviors such as feeling worthless, fatigued, tired, frustrated or merely downright bored can also lead you to feed more than you should.

An crucial behavioral change compulsory for weight loss is the shaping of good new habits. These might include: switching over to two or three intelligent meals a day instead of snacking on calorie-filled foods every hour, slowing down the speed at which you eat your meals, designating a fixed spot for all your meals, avoiding buying and storing junk or any kind of solid food in your room or closet and/or helping yourself to smaller portions at meal time and using a littler plate.

Conduct has a major role to play in both weight gain and weight loss. Multiple studies have revealed point links with changes in conduct patterns and the weight loss achieved by these changes. Depression, feelings of ineptitude as well as worked up turmoil have been found to act as triggers, causing people to overeat and increase weight. Behavior adjustment in the form of changes in eating habits, setting goals and targets, and fashioning mental and physical notes to prompt you not to eat can help you shed those extra pounds.

Dr. John Berardi, a Canadian dietician, has developed the last diet you will ever need in his “7 Habits” plan. Berardi has worked with all types of individuals, from elite athletes to stay-at-home mothers, and these habits have been the linchpin of every successful physical shift. In fact, he has declared that for most of his clients (who do not want to get “bodybuilder lean”), just following the 7 Habits is the start and the end of his nutritional advice–they can accomplish their physique goals that easy.
