Why Stopping Smoking Can be Hazardous to Your Weight. I’m sure you are convinced, correctly, that stopping smoking is a good thing to do. I'm certainly not advocating people smoke, but if you’re trying to lose weight, you may find that it is very hard to lose weight while quitting smoking! Over the last 20 years, working with tens of thousands of overweight ind...

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.

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 ...

For anyone who is having difficulty losing weight, the educational step is the missing link. For instance, if you were to read only about Liver Enhancement in my book The 7 Principles of Fat Burning and then expect to stick to that, it just wouldn’t work. This is what everyone else and nearly every diet book currently on the market is doing—only telling people ...

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.
