People have this idea that they are weak willed and that’s just the way they are. Working with tens of thousands of people, I have found that if a person is on the CORRECT program for their body type they WILL get results. However, when creating health, there can be a delay in noticing actual weight loss results. You first will get feedback in improved energy, fewer cravings and feeling better overall.

There are several areas I look at with really tough cases. First, I find out when they were at their ideal weight and isolate what occurred just prior to that. This could be some low-calorie diet, an injury, pregnancy, infection or some stress. I also want to know if they are consuming enough leafy greens and whether these are raw or cooked. Inevitably, they are either overcooked or of poor quality. I then see if hidden sugars are in the diet, and the person usually has no idea that vanilla yogurt contains tons of sugar, as do most juices. I check for refined carbohydrates, such as breads and pasta. I make sure that they are not having ANY wine, as alcohol irritates the liver, which prevents fat burning. One drink before bed will block weight loss for 1 to 4 days.

One the biggest misconceptions spread about weight loss is that “obesity is a disease” and has “risk factors.” Obesity is a symptom, not a cause, of an unhealthy body. The fat is not directly responsible for the problems of an overweight person; it’s their unhealthy body, which created the fat in the first place, that is creating health risks. You cannot be healthy and fat at the same time. Obesity is a severe out-of-balance state. The drug companies would like you to think that obesity is a disease, an epidemic that needs to be treated with a drug.

Let’s get into why people gain weight or simply plateau.
First of all, the maximum fluid weight loss a person can experience is almost unlimited. I have had people lose 10 pounds per day for many days. But the maximum fat loss is only 1 to 2 pounds per week. If your friend is losing 8 pounds per day and you are only losing 2, you might think you are doing badly, when in fact what you’re experiencing is normal. Not knowing this can cause you to give up.

There is an interesting thing that happens to many people after going on a diet. At first they might lose some weight but then, three weeks later, the weight not only comes right back but a little more is added on. Each time the person attempts to lose, it becomes harder and harder.
Why is this?

In this article I’d like to explain an interesting finding related to why you are having a hard time losing weight.
Let’s take a look at something very important.
All six fat-burning hormones can only work if your liver is functional. The liver activates 80 percent of your thyroid hormone. Even though the liver is not considered an endocrine gland, it does produce a hormone.

There are several myths that people keep using as truths, which get them into trouble. When I ask them about this, they always tell me, “But that’s what THEY say,” or “EVERYONE KNOWS.” I then ask them, “Who are they?” No one knows—it’s some rumor without a source.
