Weight Loss SOS: How it will Help you Lose Fat Permanently

Why do the majority of people fail to keep fat off?

Long term weight maintenance remains a very difficult task indeed. Healthy weight loss is clinically defined as losing only 5-10% body weight, but weight is gradually regained in the vast majority of people. Previous research has shown 95% of people regain lost weight and recent research has shown that ~20% of overweight individuals are successful at long-term weight loss when defined as losing up to 10% of initial body weight and maintaining the loss for one year (unfortunately not great).

This is because weight loss maintenance is hindered by complex interactions between environmental, biological, and cognitive factors controlling weight regain. Anyone who thinks that maintaining a healthy, fit looking body shape and weight is simply a matter of exercising more and eating less are delusional and ignorant to the complexities.

Why diets fail

Why do people (and possibly you) follow weight loss diets, fads, short cuts, gimmicks, and other wizardry? While I leave you to ponder that question, the sad truth is the majority of dieters finish up heavier than when they started, and repeatedly losing and gaining weight (yo-yoing) is linked to heart disease and stroke.

Diets don’t lead to sustained weight loss or health benefits for the majority, and so most people would be better off never going on a diet in the first place due to the stress and disappointment experienced.

Why diets fail:

First and foremost, diets don’t fit into your individual life-style.
They don’t teach you the skills or strategies of how to stay lean.
They’re too restrictive, often eliminating an entire food group.
They distort your beliefs about the scientific truths about nutrition and get you emotionally triggered and hating on food groups which is often counterproductive, unhealthy, and unhelpful to your long term goals.
They’re imposing and unrealistic, setting rules that are short-lived and unachievable, causing you to feel negative moods and emotions.
They’re unsustainable, only to be followed in the short term without focusing on a life-long journey of satisfaction and longevity.
They create binge behaviour and unhealthy relationships with food.
They cause problems and barriers in social, family, and cultural situations.
They’re too rigid and so diets are either ‘on’ or ‘off’ and thus set you up to fail.
They tell you what to eat without taking into account your preferences or what you like to eat, therefore they’re not holistic.

You don’t need to be told what to do, you need to be shown what to do. So, what works for sustainable results over the long term, i.e., your lifetime? Weight Loss SOS.

What is Weight Loss SOS and how can it help you lose fat permanently?

Weight Loss SOS is a permanent fat loss concept that focuses on your life-style. Weight Loss SOS helps you lose weight permanently by turning your weight gaining situations into weight losing situations. It’s much more than a diet; in fact it’s everything but a diet. It’s a holistic, supportive, process- and learning-based life-style modification solution. You get the help of a life-style coach and a road map to your goals.

It’s not about telling you what to do, but about guiding yourself down a structured path of improving your exercise, eating, thinking, and behaviour, which all make up your style of living (your ‘life-style’), so that you discover and practice the skills needed to lose your fat for good; not just losing your fat for weeks or months.

You get individual support on completing and implementing life-style techniques based on 7 key skills that have been identified as paramount for learning how to lose fat permanently; and Weight Loss SOS is not about failure, shame, guilt, and yo-yo dieting, but about a learning process to change your body and your mind. What the mind thinks, the body allows and follows, and your body is a reflection of what your mind can master.

Weight Loss SOS will help you raise your achievement bar from your current abilities to a new level you really want to sustain. Your life-style plan moves you forward week after week, month after month, year after year, in a more constructive manner than you have ever done on your own.

When we talk of ‘life-style’, we mean the way that you live – typical, familiar and unique to you. Your life-style encompasses your entire existence from everything you say, think and do, to how you move, exercise, eat and sleep. In essence, your life-style choices are responsible for your level of achievements, and this is what we focus on.

The Weight Loss SOS plan involves identifying and developing 7 key skills with corresponding life-style strategies, plus health, fitness and nutrition science to help you change your behaviours so that any situation you find yourself in can become a weight-losing experience for you. The order and timing of these strategies, including how you train and eat, will be individual to you.

Much More than a Diet

This is what to expect when you do it:

You’re motivated and supported to achieve already established goals by following the plan laid out for you
You’ll follow specific and easy to understand eating (this is not a diet), exercise and life-style strategies and actions catered to your needs, leading you to specific targets
You’ll discover, learn, follow and master projected visions of performance in your life before moving to the next step
You’ll follow personalised strategies to change your behaviour instantly; this turns weight-gaining situations into weight-losing situations
You’ll save yourself frustration, time, money, effort, and the physical and psychological stress of yo-yoing by knowing what, when, and how to combat weight gain

Forget about willpower

Willpower alone will not help you succeed. Willpower is your ability to apply effort and determination to a given task. However, willpower alone is not sufficient for effective action and results. Just being more determined and working harder can end up making this weight loss journey more difficult. Although determination is important, without the necessary behavioural skills it can be misdirected.

For example, you can have all the willpower in the world, but if you don’t possess the skills for a given task, you’re in danger of developing negative experiences and outcomes. Weight Loss SOS is about developing skills and changing perceptions, and when you’re on the right track and have the right knowledge, willpower takes care of itself.

What My Clients Say

To achieve something different you have to do something different

Imagine living your life while spending more time getting and staying slimmer. Imagine only staying slim, fit, and healthy and never relapsing back to where you came from. Nutrition, exercise, and new ways to think and do things all play a crucial role in your health and are an integral part of helping you to maximise your every-day performance.

The truth is that maintaining a healthy weight is a multi-factorial problem and thus harder than people are led to believe because weight loss marketing is set up to make money out of you failing time and time again.

The good news is that you’ve now found an opportunity to tackle a multi-factorial problem with holistic solutions, therefore enabling you to dramatically increase your chances of succeeding.

It’ll be in your best interests to lose fat in a healthy manner, have longevity of life, and look great while reducing disease. It’s time to let go of unsustainable and dramatic weight loss fads.

Anyone can lose weight quickly; a heroin diet would have you lose loads of weight, but obviously you wouldn’t be healthy and strong! The key point being made here is you want to lose fat progressively, incrementally, methodically, and over a safe and sustainable long term course. To change your body fat percentage is to change you as a whole being, and this programme will show you how to do this often scary personal change.

Bonus

As you sustain weight loss you’ll dramatically reduce your chances of acquiring life-style-related illnesses and diseases. Non-communicable (chronic) diseases include obesity, cardiovascular diseases like arteriosclerosis, hypertension, stroke and heart attacks, cancer, type 2 diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases, cirrhosis, and Alzheimer’s disease.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), life-style diseases account for 63% of all deaths and are largely preventable; and obesity is the second leading cause of cancer after smoking. If you already have a life-style disease, you can reduce the severity and in some cases eliminate the condition by using a life-style programme as this one.

So there you go. You should give this a shot. After all, what have you got to lose?
