Four Hidden Keys to Vibrant Health, Lasting Happiness, and Struggle-Free Weight Loss

Boy, that's a lot to promise, isn't it?

Yes, it sure is. But my clients wouldn't call it an exaggeration. When you stop spinning your wheels and wasting your time on "Diet Industry" weight loss approaches, and actually start doing what works, your entire life changes.

Sure, you lose weight. And the stress and struggle that had always been such an unhappy part of your weight loss efforts just disappears from your life.

But the real benefits show up in the way you feel every day--about your self, about your body, about your life. You will also probably see dramatic difference in the way others see you, treat you, and relate to you.

You see, the big difference between Diet Industry weight loss approaches and what my clients learn to do is that you'll make changes where it counts--in the beliefs, attitudes, and motivations that are the real reasons why your do everything you do in life.


When You Make Positive Changes Where It Counts,
There's Simply No Way To Stay Stuck Where You Were


If you have read either of my free e books, you know that I am radically opposed to conventional Diet Industry weight loss methods. The simple fact that they fail 96% of the time, and that people who use them gain back 95% of what they lose, are reasons enough for us to dump them.

But even though none of the Diet Industry weight loss methods are effective, they've been the only game in town until now. Not any more! Now we have a much better alternative--the truth.
And the truth is that the Number One reason you're overweight is bad information.

That's why we're going to leave Diet Industry thinking behind forever and begin to operate on something totally different: facts. Before we get into detail about what does work, it's vitally important understand what doesn't work, and why it doesn't work. Otherwise, the temptation is always there to fall back in to the old ways of thinking, and waste still more years of our lives doing what can't possibly get us where we want to go.

As we begin to un-brainwash ourselves, keep in mind that what you're about to learn may seem like "alien" thinking to anyone who's been exposed to decades of misinformation. Also be aware that your current thinking--however poorly it may have served you in the past--isn't going to give up without a fight. You may find yourself resisting the very truth that could set you free.


So please try to keep your mind as open as you can as we explore...


- The 4 Major Elements Of Weight Loss Success -

Success Element #1: Sufficient Motivation & Desire


The very first ingredient in your success, and perhaps the most important, is having enough motivation and desire to succeed. Ideally, this motivation and desire come about as a result of an eyes-wide-open assessment of both the costs of staying overweight and the benefits of losing weight.

In other words, you are fully aware of how dramatically your life will improve, and in how many different areas, when you get to your healthiest weight. You are also crystal clear about the many serious costs of being overweight, and you are completely out of denial about the very real health risks of obesity. In other words, you "get it," and you are now ready to do something about it.

While others can help you see the light and can build a fire under you from time to time, you know in your heart that it is very much in your own best interest--and in the interest of those who you love and who love you--to make your life a healthier, happier place.

Ultimately, your own motivation, based on your own realization, is what will power you to success. If you don't have enough motivation, you can get it. But be aware that your real motivation comes from your own deeply-held beliefs and attitudes and the conclusions they lead you to. If you don't have self-supportive beliefs and attitudes, then getting them must be your first step. Using professional help can make a tremendous difference here.


Success Element #2: Accurate Information


Again, the single biggest reason most people fail at weight loss is a lack of accurate information. They simply don't understand what doesn't work and why, or know what does work and why. On top of that, many of us have spent so much time and energy doing what can never work that we're almost too and frustrated, fried, and burned out to start doing what does work.

This is an attitude we simply can't afford--especially since doing what works actually gives us energy, instead of robbing it from us like Diet Industry methods do. Let's look a bit closer at those Diet Industry "solutions" and why they don't work.


Why Diet Industry Methods Fail 96% Of The Time


The fundamental problem with weight loss methods like drugs, diets, metabolizer pills, calorie counting, relying on will power, exercise machines, and self-starvation is that they are only aimed at altering what appears to be the problem--our extra pounds.

As the research has clearly revealed, our unwanted pounds are only physical manifestations-symptoms--of problems that exist on non-physical levels. In other words, the problem you can see (your unwanted pounds) is merely a symptom of a problem you can't see--those beliefs and attitudes we just talked about.

This concept is extremely important to understand. It truly is the central key to life-long weight control success. So why do we have so much trouble grasping it?


The "Logical" Mistake That Keeps Us Overweight


When someone decides it's time to lose weight, the first place they typically turn is to food--to dieting. And why not? It seems like the obvious thing to do. If we weigh too much, it must be because we eat too much. Which means that food must be the problem. So we need to go on a diet. It's the only logical solution, right?

No! Dieting is exactly the wrong place to start. If you're serious about success...


...dieting is the last "solution"
you should be considering, not the first!


But if dieting is so useless, why is everybody so focused on it? Simply because it's our "knee-jerk" response to being overweight, resulting from the avalanche of weight loss misinformation that has us snowed under all our lives.

You see, there's more to the weight loss puzzle then meets the eye. As we noted, the real causes of our excess weight are non-physical and non-visible. So what appears to be the problem really isn't. And what really is the problem isn't apparent. The result of this double-blindness is that we end up lost and clueless about what to do.

This same blindness is the reason Diet Industry approaches don't look beyond physical factors. As a result, they only attack symptoms, leaving the real, root causes of your problem unaltered.

So how could they help but fail?

I'm not saying that food, your body, exercise, and other physical factors are unimportant. But the real causes of your unwanted pounds have virtually nothing to do with anything physical. And when you focus on those physical factors before you correct the underlying reason you're overweight, you're simply heading down the wrong trail.

Trying to get rid of excess weight by dieting, drugs, self-starvation, calorie counting, fasting, will power, etc. is like trying to get rid of dandelions with a lawn mower. The best you can do is get rid of the symptom for a while.

But until you eliminate the problem at the root, you know it will be back--and bigger than before! Only after the underlying causes of excess weight are dealt with can physical factors like diet and exercise make any useful or lasting changes.


Success Element #3: A Success Plan That Is
Custom Tailored To Who You Are


One of the least obvious reason why Diet Industry approaches fail is their one-size-fits-all, cookie-cutter mentality. Because their approach is entirely physical, they neither understand that the real, root causes of obesity are non-physical, nor do they offer any way to modify them.

They see all humans as more or less identical biological units, who will respond more or less the same to physical weight loss methods. This attitude is disastrously wrong for two major reasons.

First, we are not nearly so biologically similar as Western medicine would like us to believe. Eastern medicine long ago discovered the need to tailor treatment to individual body types. But more importantly, the Diet Industry (in fact, our entire healthcare industry) appears to be completely clueless that the root causes of obesity are non-physical, and revolve around your unique individual situation and personality, and the attitudes and beliefs that make you the unique and special person you are..

The sad consequence of their unawareness is the simple reality of the Diet Industry's 96% failure rate. So a major key to your success will be to take actions based, not some generic plan, but on a fully-customized program designed especially for your unique self and situation. Fortunately, this is now easy to do, using special assessments developed just for this purpose.


Success Element #4:
A Proven "Make-It-Really-Happen" Mechanism


This crucial fourth Success Element has proven to be the downfall of even the most dedicated dieters and anyone else who's serious about weight loss success. People find that they simply can't provide themselves with all the steam they need to get to the finish line.

What you MUST have is some mechanism that makes sure you stay with your plan until it creates weight loss success for you automatically. And make no mistake--once you correct the underlying beliefs and attitudes that are now sabotaging your weight loss success, the process of getting to your healthiest weight and staying there becomes just as effortless and automatic as staying overweight may be right now.

And yet, for some reason, many of us are hesitant to seek outside support. It's interesting to note that professional sports figures and Olympic athletes see no shame in seeking professional help, yet the average person somehow feels "incompetent" or "inadequate" if they do the same. We seem to think it's "un-American" to ask for help.

I respectfully submit that this is crazy. If we don't take advantage of the tools that are (finally!) available, it's as if we didn't even have them. It's as if none of these new weight loss discoveries had ever been made, and we were still stuck back in the "Dark Ages" of weight loss, where Diet Industry methods were all we had, and a dismal 96% failure rate was all we could hope for.

Please let it into your awareness that you do NOT have to put up with the endless struggle and frustration of useless and outdated weight loss methods. You CAN win at weight loss. In just a few months, you can see changes you scarcely imagined were possible.

All you need to do is to say goodbye to what has never worked and can never work, and open yourself to the success technology that's now available.


A Word Of Caution...


By the time you've finished reading either of my free e books, you'll know things about successful weight control that most health professionals don't know. So don't be surprised if your healthcare practitioners don't have a clue what you're doing. You'll be covering ground that few of them are familiar with, or even aware of. Be prepared to have your current ways of thinking challenged. And be ready to feel your own internal resistance to new information, because...


"When you're used to doing what's wrong,
doing what's right will feel wrong."


But don't let the newness of the information keep you from reaping the benefits you desire and deserve. Join the proud ranks of Christopher Columbus, Albert Einstein, and Thomas Edison. Leave the unbelievers behind and boldly go where most people will never go--into the "New World" of weight loss solutions that actually work!

Yours in total health,

Dr. Frank

I think people deep down know how to loose weight. That's not the issue. The problem isn't so much the "truth" as it is that people don't want to hear the truth. All of these crazy diet plans and everything else appeal to people. It helps them stay in denial.

 There is a new trend in the media to place a great deal of the "blame" on genetics as well. This appeals to people because, after failing so many times to loose weight, the idea that it is something out of your control is very comforting.

 You are entirely correct when you say attitude is everything. People's attitude about food and exercise, and their "relationship" with food is what needs to be changed. I think people know this deep down. The problem is it's so much harder to change these things. Food is a powerful influence. It isn't a strech to liken many peoples relationship with food to a drug addiction. Many people also have a really negative view of exercise and physical activity. Dispensing with PC for a minute, you could say they are basically lazy, and like being that way. Trying to change on a fundamental level like this scares the hell out of people.
