Visualize Before Sleep - Wake Up Thinner

Could there be any truth to those claims that you can think yourself thinner? On the surface it doesn't seem likely, since it is hard to imagine how you could change your metabolic rate (the rate at which you burn fat) simply by changing your way of thinking.

But of course changing your metabolic rate isn't the only way to think yourself thinner. If you can convince yourself to adopt habits that reduce the amount of food you eat, or change the types of foods you eat to a more healthy selection, then you are going to lose weight. That's not rocket science. The trouble is that it can be hard to implement healthy habits, especially if you are saddled with bad ones that you have picked up over the duration of your lifetime.

Carolyn Hansen recognized this problem quite some time ago when she was forced to try to figure out why it was that she was unable to achieve any long-lasting success with her own weight loss efforts. For a long period of time she followed the latest fad diets and tried the popular exercise programs of the day. Both of these approaches turned out to be based on a poor understanding of how the human body responds to food and exercise.

Even when she DID stumble across good advice she found it near impossible to stick with the suggested course of action for the length of time that was needed to see long-lasting results. It wasn't until she was able to examine her core beliefs about food and exercise that she was able to see where the problem was. After that it was just a matter of figuring out how to isolate those beliefs and replace them with ones that helped, rather than hindered her efforts to lose weight.

One of the techniques she learned about is visualization. This is the practice of running a movie through your mind of the results you hope to achieve from your efforts. Athletes will often employ the practice of visualization when they are having trouble attaining the degree of performance they think they ought to be able to achieve but are not. In fact, Carolyn was able to use visualization to help her get over her fear of standing on stage in the bodybuilding competitions she entered many years ago. It was only after she begin using visualization that she won the title she had been pursuing for years.

Visualization can also be used to help lose weight. One of the recommended practices in her book “The Weight Loss Motivation Bible” is to visualize your slimmer, healthier self before you go to sleep at night. Play the visualization like a movie in your mind.

Now, you are NOT going to wake up any thinner because you employ visualization. But you WILL slowly reprogram your subconscious mind to seek to harmonize your outer self (your body) with your inner self (that slim body in your visualizations). It will do this by encouraging you to establish the right habits to make your outer self merge with your inner self.

In practice this means you will begin eating more healthy foods and enjoy those foods more than you used to do. You'll see more rewards in working out and be less inclined to skip workouts. In short, you'll do the RIGHT thing more often than you did before.

It's not magic. It's just a consequence of tapping into the power of your subconscious mind to get done the things you know are possible but until now you may have had trouble putting into effect.

The 3 Day Diet

The 3 Day Diet is a 'crash diet', designed specifically for people who want to lose large amounts of weight very fast. Exponents say the 3 Day Diet is chemically and enzyme balanced, and if followed to the letter, you can allegedly lose 10 pounds in 3 days, hence the name.

While we here at www.supadiet.com have not tried this diet, we would point out that medical opinion generally believes that 'crash' diets, including the 3 day diet, can be dangerous. Typically, research suggests that these 'faddy' diets encourage a starve / binge cycle, which is not good for your general health. Any diet offering more than 1 or 2 pounds a week loss should generally be undertaken only under medical supervision, because of the inherent dangers of rapid weight loss.

Another consideration is the need to keep the weight off once you have lost it. Many followers of 'crash diets' find that although they shed the pounds fast, they then pile even more than they lost back on, because the fad diet is not sustainable over long time periods. For steady weight control, you need a regular balanced diet with all the essential vitamins, minerals and proteins.

Anyway, having said that, the basis of the 3 Day Diet is simple, ordinary foods commonly found in the kitchen. You don't have to buy special diet meals, or eat foodstuffs you normally wouldn't find tasty. No special expensive recipes or ingredients are required. As the diet name suggests, used for only 3 days at a time, the 3 Day Diet is very short term, and lasts only 3 days. After that, you are supposed to return to your normal diet (but without 'overeating' of course!) for 4 days. This completes a full week, and then you start again.

Unlike some crash diets, the 3 day Diet does not involve starving yourself - you eat at normal times, and the meals are 'normal' too. The theory behind the 3 day diet is that by combining certain foods you can create a digestive reaction that boosts your metabolism and helps you burn fat far faster than normal. There is not really any scientific evidence for this, although followers of the diet are adamant this is what happens.

So lets take a look at some sample meals eaten on a 3 day diet, courtesy of www.supadiet.com. Day 1, Breakfast. Start with coffee (no sugar), 1 egg, half a grapefruit, and a piece of toast. Lunch is a cup of tuna, together with a slice of toast. Dinner consists of 3 ounces of chicken, a cup of green beans or broccoli, half a cup of carrots and half a banana. If you have a sweet tooth, you can treat yourself to half a cup of regular vanilla ice cream. So, not too extreme, is it? The downside is that such low amounts of food may leave you feeling tired and listless.

On the second day, the menu is pretty similar. Breakfast, an Egg (boiled, scrambled, omlette), half a banana, 1 piece of toast. Lunch, 1 cup of cottage cheese, 8 regular crackers (or 1 slice toast if you prefer). Dinner, 3 oz lean red meat, 1 cup of cabbage, half a cup of carrots, half a banana, and half a cup of plain ice cream as a treat.

On the 3rd day, breakfast is 5 regular crackers with 1 oz of cheddar cheese and an apple. For lunch, you can have a boiled egg with a slice of toast and tea or coffee (no sugar). The main meal of the evening is a cup of cottage cheese, half a cup of carrots, half a cup of cauliflower, and half a melon. As usual, you can treat yourself to half a cup of vanilla ice-cream if you like.

You are probably getting an idea now for the ingredients and recipes you should be working with, and you don't need much imagination to construct your own 3 day menus. Good luck with it!
