"Why Will-Power Is Over-Rated..."
Cravings
for Sugar, Fat and Other Empty Calories Can Destroy Your Good
Intentions, No Matter How Much You Want to Lose Weight.
Take Control of Your Cravings With This Step-by-Step Plan.
From: Jonni Good
Date:
Are You Addicted to Sugar?
Let Go of Your Sugar Cravings With This Step-by-Step Plan.
What experienced dieters know -- but rarely talk about -- is
that will power alone isn't enough when it
comes to making a permanent change in eating habits. Cravings
for sugar, fats and other empty calories can destroy your good
intentions, no matter how much you want to lose weight.
Successful dieters - the ones who lose the extra weight and
then keep it off - have all discovered a way to tame
those cravings. They may still want to eat
unhealthy, fattening food, but they don't give in to them.
But the sad fact is that the vast majority of overweight people
never learn how to control their cravings, so as many
as 95% of people who manage to lose weight just gain it
all back again.
It can be so discouraging that many people turn to pills or
drugs to help them control their appetites. Diet pills might
work temporarily, but they rarely work long-term, and they're
both expensive and potentially dangerous.
So what's the secret?
Once you have control of your thoughts, you have control
of your diet.
It's that simple.
I have been overweight, for gosh, half of my life (I'm
28) and I've read countless diet books from Atkins to
Portion control books, but never have I read the mechanisms
and human instincts behind my sugar addictions/cravings.
I have recommended your e-book to several people. You
have explained things well and written this e-book in
a compassionate, caring way. Thanks so much
for opening my eyes.

I enjoyed reading your book as it was written in a
manner that made me feel like I was reading a letter
from a friend. You made many valid points and I do agree
that we need to be responsible for the choices we make.
I found your method of thinking about our thoughts quite
interesting.
I read your book through all in one sitting
and so hope to be able to read it slower next
time.

This more positive approach which
looks more closely at the reasons we eat offers a fresh
avenue of hope because you offer definite ways to re-think
and cope.
..the book is wonderful because the approach is so
much more than just the food.

Control the cravings, one thought at a time
People who successfully kick any addiction or habit
all do it in basically the same way - they finally
realize how much their cravings are costing them, (in terms
of money, health, or relationships) - and then they find a way
to ignore or resist the cravings every time they come
back.
If they make an occasional mistake and "cheat," they
don't beat themselves up about it and give up the fight - they
learn to love themselves enough so they can make a
new start. Every single day, for as long as it takes.
People who lose a lot of weight and keep it off are
fairly rare in our society - but they all have this one thing
in common: They still want to eat fattening food, but
they don't.
They practice mental control each and every time
they get an urge to run to the store for a donut. They don't
allow their moods to destroy their commitment to their health.
They tackle the problem one thought at a time, and soon it becomes
second nature.
They've learned to "think like a thin person."
But what if you don't know how to control those thoughts
and cravings?
Most people don't, after all. So most people who lose weight
just gain it all back again.
They gain it back even when they use a healthy diet
that really works, because any diet stops
working as soon as you go back to eating the way you did when
you were getting fat.
If you've lost weight and but then gained it all back, you're
certainly not alone.
Which of these is your story?
Here's Story #1.
You join a program where you go to a meeting once a week,
you get yourself weighed at each meeting, and you carefully
count every calorie you eat.
You lose weight and start to feel really proud of yourself.
Then, frankly, it gets a little boring to keep track of everything.
You're tired of feeling hungry, and you feel "you deserve"
to cheat - (that's your cravings talking).
The weight starts going back up. Now you're embarrassed to
go to the weekly meetings and get weighed in front of all
those people, so you stop going. You spent all that
money and time, but soon you weigh as much as you did when
you started, or more.
(But you can't blame the program, because you know it would
have worked, if you had just stuck with it long enough...)
Here's Story #2.
You decide to do it on your own, without the expensive, time-consuming
meetings. You read several books on diet and nutrition, and
you start to cook the recipes they recommend. You are determined
that this time it's going to work.
You start to lose weight.
Then something happens at work or at home to upset you, or
you just go into a dark mood for no apparent reason at all.
You know there's just one thing that can make you feel better
- "comfort food" filled with sugar and fat. You
give in to the cravings even though you don't want to. You
eat the entire chocolate cake or box of cookies or bag of
chips. And then you feel so bad about yourself that you decide
to just give it all up.
You go back to eating the way you always did before, and
your weight comes back again. Plus a little extra...
Chances are, your story is worse because you've actually experienced
both of those stories, perhaps more than once. After spending
all that time and money and effort, you're left with the despair
that comes with not knowing if you'll ever be able to live your
dream of having a thinner, healthier body.
Don't you think it's the loss of faith that is the worst?
Most people who start a new diet begin full of optimism, hope,
and big dreams. And they also carry the baggage of all those
"No You Can'ts."
What's a "No You Can't"? Those are the people in
your family, your friends and coworkers who like to squash
your dreams and tell you that you'll never be able
to lose your extra weight. Those are the people who you tell
your plans to and they answer back "No You Can't!"
They remind you of every time you've tried before, and failed.
They tell you it's all your fault because you don't have enough
will power or self control. They are the ones who feast on your
failures because it makes them feel better about themselves.
They make you feel judged every time you sit down to eat.
And if that wasn't bad enough, you're also surrounded by people
who say "Come on, Have Just One, it Won't Hurt."
These are the folks that every addict knows - the people who
can't allow you to be successful at losing weight and keeping
it off because then they would feel like a failure
because they're still fat. So they make you feel guilty if you
turn down that pie, or eat that salad for lunch.
Aren't you sick of those Negative people?
It's Time to Prove to Them (and Yourself!)
That You Can Succeed
I just want to thank you for your support and this
great program of renewing my life both mentally and
physically. I must admit, I've had some real tough times
especially in the evenings, but I was able to make it
through. My biggest fear is breaking down and giving
in to the withdrawals.... Just to let you know how positive
this process is, [after] I only read a few pages, [they
have] given me so much motivation, that I changed my
diet, and I have noticed my clothes fitting looser today,
I will continue and again thank you so much for all
your support.

There are really just two things you need to do to lose weight
and keep it off.
The first thing is knowing what to eat and
how much to eat. This isn't rocket science, even though
there have been hundreds of books written about the subject.
All of the true experts, (the ones who care about your long-term
health as much as they do about selling their books, like Dr.
Joel Fuhrman and Dr. Dean Ornish), say the same things:
- Don't eat foods with empty calories and no nutrition,
like sugar and white flour.
- Eat fatty foods like red meat in moderation.
- Try to eat mostly whole, unprocessed foods.
- And include as many raw and cooked vegetables in your
diet as you can.
Most people who have sugar cravings eat so many empty calories
every day that they will begin to lose weight immediately when
they give up sugar. And if you pile on the veggies, you can
feel full and satisfied when you get up from the table - dieting
and losing weight doesn't have to mean that you eat less,
you just have to eat better.
Hi Jonni - Thanks for your support. I feel great with
out the white sugar and white flour. I enjoyed your
book... I guess it has been about a month and I
have lost 10 lbs and my whole family is eating better.

But how can you eat better if your thoughts keep turning to
the fattening foods that you know aren't good for you?
Which brings us to the second important thing that's needed
to lose weight and keep it off.
And that's mental control.
It's called mental control because:
- You control your thoughts.
- You control your cravings.
- And you control your diet.
Mental control is the key!
Mental control is not the same as "will power." Will
power is something that you have, or you don't. It comes and
goes. It has something to do with an inner strength that seems
almost magical. Some people seem to have lots of it, and other
people don't have any. Maybe it was the way they were raised...
Who knows?
On the other hand, mental control is
something you can learn, and practice. It's a skill,
like learning to ride a bike, that you can learn even if you've
never tried it before.
Mental control is important. Critical, actually. And that's
because even if you start on the best diet in the world, it
won't work if your cravings keep you from sticking with it.
And mental control is what my book " Weight Loss: How
to Keep Your Commitment" is all about.
It's Your Secret to Success
The secrets to controlling your thoughts were actually discovered
thousands of years ago, and have been successfully practiced
by millions of people.
But you don't have to go out and read all the books on meditation
and mind control, and you don't need to go to meetings and take
classes on the meditation arts. You can, if you want to - but
there's an easier way to get started.
I've
done all the research for you already.
My name is Jonni Good, and my book "Weight Loss:
How to Keep Your Commitment" has helped thousands
of people take control of their food cravings, and kick the
sugar habit.
I didn't do all the research into addictions and mind control
techniques in order to write a book. I spent hours in the library
and even took a year-long course in addictions counseling because
I struggled with my own weight for years.
I created the program after I learned some startling truths
about how addictions affect the way we think.
Until then, I had no idea that sugar and fat are addictive
substances, so I couldn't understand why it was so hard to give
them up.
Even when I was reasonably thin (which didn't happen very
often), I wasn't eating the healthy diet that I knew I should.
Even when I really wanted to stay away from the ice
cream and candy, I would be drawn back to them, completely against
my will. I would even stay up late at night baking cinnamon
rolls, and then eat the entire pan before going to
bed...
I was hooked on sugar and fat, (yes, literally addicted to
the stuff), and I didn't know how to stop.
When I took a college course on the psychology and physiology
of addictions, it struck me that my own struggles
against sugar and fat were the same as a smoker's struggle to
give up tobacco - one of the most difficult addictions to overcome.
And the same as an alcoholic's struggle to give up the booze,
and a heroin addict's struggle to go clean.
Since then, I found out that scientists had already
discovered what I suspected - sugar and fat are addictive
substances that act a lot like a mild dose of heroin when they
hit our blood streams.
That's why we feel good (temporarily) when
we eat snacks and foods with lots of sugar and fat, and why
we feel bad (temporarily), when we don't eat
them.
Just as I said before:
- People who successfully kick any addiction or
habit all do it in basically the same way - they
finally realize how much their cravings are costing them,
(in terms of money, health, or relationship)s - and then
they find a way to ignore or resist the cravings
every time they come back.
Once I discovered that easy mental exercises
( that anyone can learn to do) were the key to putting a stop
to my food cravings, I also started to see how many other people
have the same problems I did.
In fact, recent research has found that sugar and fat addiction
has become an epidemic that is causing millions of people to
gain unwanted weight.
That's when I decided to write down what I leaned so that other
people could use the same simple mental techniques to take control
of their cravings.

Jonni, I'm a pretty slim guy. I was overweight
up until my senior year of high school. I lost the weight
and have been able to maintain my physical appearance
thru exercise and eating right most of the time.
Although I've never gained the weight completely back
there was always a layer of fat around my waist that has
never gone completely away. My downfall had been sugar
ladened sweets, white flour, and high fat foods. Since
reading your site and book. I've finally started becoming
the leanest I've ever been in my life love it. I'm an
independent songwriter/music artiste. I'm gonna look great
for my shows now*smile* I actually have not had to do
the meditations that often to control my behavior or cravings
but when I need to I call on them and they do work.

The Step-by-Step Plan the Helps You
Learn the Art of Mental Control
- When you read my book you learn why it is so easy
for us to become addicted to sugar and fat.
- You learn how the instinctive desire to eat healthy
fruits and veggies actually turns into
an addiction wherever people have access
to highly processed sugars and refined flour. That's why
people start getting fat in every country that
adopts a "western" diet.
- You learn about the withdrawal symptoms
to expect when you give up sugar, and how your mind will
try to "talk you into" eating sugar, even when
you're trying to give it up. (Alcoholics Anonymous calls
this "stinking thinking.")
- Most importantly, you'll learn some easy meditation
techniques that give you power over you cravings
for sugar and fat, so "stinking thinking"
won't control you any more.
This is a program that anyone can follow - and it works.
You won't stop wanting to eat sugar and other fattening
food - that will never go away.
But you can stop giving in to the
cravings, so you can start eating the way you know you should.
Once you take control of the cravings, you won't have to "diet."
You'll be able to eat a healthy, nutritious meal, three times
a day, and enjoy the extra energy you get when you actually
eat those veggies.
Your vitality will come back, you'll gradually lose weight,
and you'll find yourself enjoying life more than you have in
years.
You can learn how I did it (and how hundreds of other people,
just like you, have done it) when you read my book.
Remember - looking better isn't all you gain from a healthier
diet. When you give up the excess fat and high-sugar snacks,
and eat a diet filled with delicious veggies, fruits and whole
grains...
- Your chronic blood sugar level goes down, reducing
the risk of heart disease and some kinds of cancer,
//
- Your clothes fit better, and you soon have an excuse to
go buy some new ones to show off your new, healthy body.
//
- You sleep better, and your mind is sharper.
//
- You may even have fewer mood swings.
//
- You begin to lose weight gradually, without feeling
deprived or picked on. You discover that you really can
keep your commitment to your health.
Do you need to read my book in order to learn mental control?
No, you don't.
I didn't invent these simple meditation techniques - they've
been used all over the world for thousands of years. There are
many excellent organizations that help you learn a variety of
meditation skills, and many books have been written on the subject.
Many of these books and organizations include techniques you
can use to take control of nagging, controlling food urges.
However, if you want to get started today,
and if you want a simple, step-by-step plan that concentrates
on just one issue - food cravings and weight loss - then I encourage
you to read my book first.
My book Weight Loss: How
to Keep Your Commitment teaches you the specific
mental skills you need in order to rise above your addictive
cravings for sugar and fat, in a simple, step-by-step plan.
You will learn exactly what it takes to stay conscious and committed
to any nutritious eating plan you choose, in a way that's easy
to understand and easy to practice.
My
Promise to You
 I
have a very simple promise to make to you. If my book
does not contain everything I've said it does, I want
you to ask for a full and complete refund.
You've got eight weeks to try out the
simple program outlined in the book. That should give
you plenty of time to know if my ebook gives you the
information you were looking for.
Fair?
If you don't like it, for any
reason, you get your money back.
Simple as that.
Guaranteed.

How can you tell if you have a problem with food addiction?
To see if you may be addicted to sugar or fat, ask yourself
the following questions:
How often do you eat high-sugar foods like candy,
or noodles, bread or pasta? Is it every day, or even
many times a day? Could you imagine a day without these foods?
What are your comfort foods? When you feel
down or depressed what kind of food appeals to you? Does stress
or depression lead you to the breadbox or the cookie jar?
Or are you perfectly happy with broccoli?
Do you find potato chips, crackers or popcorn in your grocery
chart when you reach the checkout stand, even though
you promised yourself you wouldn’t buy any snacks?
Can you imagine watching your favorite TV show or going to
a movie without having a high-fat, salty snack?
Do you actually feel a bit uneasy or defensive
if someone suggests that you may be eating too much sugar?
Do you think you could cut down any time you wanted to, but
just haven’t decided it’s worth it yet?
Do you find it difficult to stay on any nutritious, healthy
diet because you start obsessing about a
candy bar or sandwich?
Do you feel "strange," slightly woozy, or get
a headache or other uncomfortable symptoms about the same
time every day, and do you “fix” it with a trip
to the candy machine, or by grabbing a muffin at Starbucks?
Do you sometimes feel bloated or get indigestion after eating
certain foods, but still eat them anyway?
Do you have any difficulty sleeping, or do you wake up around
3 am? Do you often feel lethargic, moody or depressed?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions,
you may be having a hard time losing weight because you're addicted
to sugar and fat.
Jonni, I wanted to write and let you know that I really
learned a lot from your book. You really made me see
that what I always thought of as a personal failing
was really just my own natural human nature, trying
to live in a world that doesn't exist any more. I have
a bachelor's degree in psychology and an ongoing interest
in general science, and your points seem valid and well-researched
to me.
