Weight loss, the biggest money game in health and fitness, and it is not about health either!

Weight loss is usually about that overwhelming desire to be thinner, slimmer, trimmer, leaner and or “looking fit” NOW! Beware for the services seeking to help, money is too often the motivator!

As I wrote about it in my book, “The Great Fitness Fraud,” weight loss is usually “finally triggered” by one of three things slapping us into reality giving us true vision and that old reality check. I came to notice excess weight or fat is not quickly put on, nor happens overnight, not literally anyway! Extreme excess weight or fat is accumulated by several factors compounding additional weight gain!

The reality of excessive gain is it came about through NOT having a baby, nor the in-laws coming for a visit, nor was it the holidays, nor was it anything except “a person’s desires to have what they want, when they want it, and of course HOW they want it. It is about mental or physical sensations, and obsessions. Again, so called services for weight loss are about their money!

The three main motivators which trigger the individual to get going or make a move to lose the weight or fat are first, going to the closet to go somewhere special to wear, realizing there are “no clothes that work,” or meaning the person realizes they are up yet another size! Of course the reality of what they have been doing or not doing, has just now come home to their reality.

The next motivator is going to a party or social event where some person took a picture of them and they show the individual the picture. All of us are guilty of not always seeing something about ourselves. But the idea of not being able to see ourselves the way others see us, is best captured on a video or in a photo. When this person sees the reality in the picture, that inner shock of “the true image” is or can be a profound jolt.

The third way individuals seem to be greatly effected is the one that can be the most shocking. It is when they are at the Doctor’s office and the Doctor says, “this is about living or dying.” This is usually the strongest motivator and is even often not heard at the level needed, sad yet true.

Now let us consider the truth of what is desired here, which is usually emotionally decided. It is, “Oh my Gawd,” I have to do something right now! That drive from fear, disgust, frustration, shame, guilt or whatever, comes almost every time out of an EMOTIONAL RESPONSE. The decision is almost always emotionally driven, rather than one from a good, sound, logical, practical, planned, and referenced place.

This emotional decision drives us to immediate action, therefore all critical considerations are out the window so to speak. What most of these individuals do is something, anything, and they tend to do it right now. This emotionally driven immediate decision is what every weight loss business gears its marketing towards. This is why there are so many long term failures in these programs. It is about the businesses’ money and not the client’s long term benefit or about the client’s health. That is the reason why there are so many programs, all guaranteeing more weight loss, yet if actually looked at almost all are failures and lack keeping it off!

NOTE : Considerations for finding a true weight (FAT) loss program

1) Stop, breathe, slow down and let the emotion, panic or whatever subside.

2) Does the program you want, have proven long term success?

3) Does the program guarantee only fat is lost and not lean? (They should prove this through N.I.R. body composition or hydrostatic weighing.)

4) Does the program guarantee no cravings because nutrients are balanced ?

5) Does the program guarantee no hunger because blood sugar is balanced?

Or

“EXCEPT WHEN”……EGO  REIGNS, EMOTIONS WIN,  OR  PERCEPIONS ARE REALITY, ……

NOTE: THIS ARTICLE IS ….SEVERELY “DAMAGING TO EGO’S”…….WARNING…

INDIVIDUALS with basic common sense “MAY LEARN HERE”…….maybe?

WARNING …… if you are a personal trainer, or a regular at the gym

This article and video may “PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR EGO”……. This article could lead to actual fact finding, research, more results, increased health and more of such…..!!!

Do to reasoning, common sense, and self-evident truths from facts being linked….

(this article can cause “common sense OVERLOAD,” for ego’s, and insecure whiners)

MAJOR PHYSIOLOGICAL FACT:

MULTIPLE SETS, in training are not in any way a requirement for triggering strength or growth! 

It is scientifically proven that, “a muscle must be pushed to a point of stress, beyond the momentarily level of capability,” to trigger a positive response for increase in strength and or growth!

Again, once a muscle is pushed to a point, “beyond the momentarily existing level of capability” it is then triggered to increase response for added strength or growth!

NOTE: After a muscle is pushed to “a point of triggering,

” NO ADDITIONAL STRESS IS REQUIRED! (this means no additional or no more sets needed)

Continuing additional sets at this point, will cause undo stress, and…..“lessened response!”

EXAMPLE: IF A MUSCLE CAN BE TRIGGERED FOR A “POSITIVE INCREASE IN STRENGTH OR GROWTH,”….. NO ADDITIONAL STRESS OR TRIGGERING IS REQUIRED!

SO, if more “sets” are “required or better” for more strength or growth are BETTER,

Why don’t the INSECURE INDIVIDUALS, TRAINERS, ETC.

JUST KEEP DOING MORE SETS ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT?     SO IS MORE TE ANSWER?

Like “splitting the body workouts” for upper body one day, and the lower body the next day, does the LOWER body just need FEEDING on the day they worked it?  Do they just SLEEP the lower body that day?

WONDER WHY THESE SO-CALLED “PERSONAL STRAINERS,”NEVER SEEM TO GET ANY “NOTICABLE RESULTS” ON A CONSISTANT BASIS?

I BELIEVE, THAT A “PERSONAL TRAINER,” IS REALLY A PERSONAL “STRAINER” AND A “POCKET DRAINER!”

I SAY THEY SHOULD FIRST BE TESTED TO SEE IF THEY ARE….”SMARTER THAN THE DUMBELLS!”

IT is self-evident to me, that most people who exercise like this, are in desperate need of “FISH,” because FISH, it’s a brain food!  And me being considerate, I’d like to buy them a huge shark, as they must be starving to death!

ARE YOU DOING ANY OF THIS,…. ARE YOU LACKING RESULTS, ACTUAL MEASURED RESULTS?

Do you have a “broken fitness program or diet,” we fix broken program’s, with measurable results, fast!         We have over 45 years of living proof!

We will take any challenge for results, we will get more measured results, in more measured ways, and in way less time! DARE TO COMPARE!

Watch the following, use your common sense!

MORE TRAINING IS NEVER THE ANSWER…..

FACT: EXERCISE is a STRESS TO THE BODY….it is used to trigger a “hopeful positive result, like increased muscle!”

FACT: FOOD or INTAKE, is used as fuel and repair or rebuilding of tissues!

FACT: For increased strength and or added muscle, one must first give what is required to build the body AND OR to RESPOND, FIRST!

LET THE BODY “RECOVER,” LET THE BODY “CATCH UP”

MY OBSERVATIONS AFTER 45+ YEARS IS…….

EXERCISE AND FITNESS HAS REGRESSED, GONE BACKWARD, DE-EVOLVED, DUE TO “EGO’S!”
