An article by Graham W Price on the psychology of weight loss …. published over Christmas …. applies just as well at any other time of year. If you’re interested in losing weight, read the article, sign up for Graham’s free booklet, and come to his seminar in London on Monday evening 27th February. Antony Clegg read Graham’s booklet and came to his last seminar in December. He lost a stone over the following few weeks using Graham’s techniques..

Brave Chris Hurley, editor of About My Generation, recently diagnosed with breast cancer, has written an article about how Graham’s book … What Is, Is! The Power of Positive Acceptance … has helped her to cope. Our best wishes to Chris for a strong recovery and a bright future.

An article in Health4Media by psychologist Graham W Price provides tips on the psychology of weight loss.  Graham says if the psychology isn’t right attempts to lose weight will either fail or the weight will rebound. Abicord provides guaranteed weight loss (one year money-back guarantee for achieving the goal and sustaining it). See www.abicord.com/weight-loss

Some tips for losing those unwanted kilos:

• Drink more tea, but without milk, even skimmed milk. Recent research has shown that tea contains agents that break down fat. But those agents are neutralised if you add milk.
• There are dangers in some current weight loss fads. The  HCG diet incorporating daily injections, popular in America, is particularly dodgy and has been exposed as a scam. The Ducan diet, similar to Atkins, has become popular in America but read this or this warning  before you dive in.
• A recent  study shows that meal replacements (shakes, etc) are nothing like as effective as sensible dieting and exercise for achieving and sustaining weight-loss. Meal replacements usually result in the weight going straight back on again when they cease.

Now the things you probably already know:

• If you have any doubts about the ‘no added sugar’ rule, read this.  That includes no carbonated drinks, no fruit juice with added sugar, no processed foods with added sugar, no sugar in hot drinks.
• Minimising fat intake is an accepted part of most weight-loss programmes, despite what Atkins may say.  That means avoiding saturated fats, fried food, ready meals, dairy products (except low fat), cakes, ice cream, crisps, pizza, quiche.
• Low carbs, high fibre, high protein, lots of salad, vegetables and high-fibre fruits such as apples and oranges, are generally accepted components of  effective weight-loss programmes.
• Limit alchohol consumption.
• It’s not just the content of what we eat, it’s about quantity too. Eat when you’re hungry, stop eating when you’re no longer hungry. If that results in getting hungy between meals, have a mid-morning or mid-afternoon (healthy) snack. Drink water 10 minutes before meals or snacks to reduce hunger.
• Aerobic exercise:  half an hour 3 times a week is a minimum for effective weight loss. Sorry, golf isn’t aerobic   unless you power walk between shots.

The rest is down to psychology which is all about self-control, resilience and sustaining motivation.  That’s where Abicord’s unique expertise comes in. See www.abicord.com/weight-loss for a guaranteed weight loss programme (one year money-back guarantee for achieving the goal and sustaining it).

A UCLA report says that while it’s already known that adult brains are adversely impacted by smoking (primarily loss of memory and attention), the latest research shows teenagers’ brains are more severely damaged. Further research highlights dangers to unborn children through passive smoking. 

Here’s the content of my earlier blog just in case you’d like a reminder of all the other bad news … and some good news. Research say genetic damage happens within minutes of smoking, not years. Cancer causing chemicals form rapidly after the first inhalation. Apart from the well known risks of heart and lung disease and lung cancer, smoking can double the risk of developing alzheimers. Anyone who’s known someone with dementia really wouldn’t want to end their lives this way.  Smoking reduces brain size, increases the risk of hearing loss, arthritis and impotency and does immediate damage however little you smoke. One third of hospital patients are there due to smoking and there’s a high death rate among children due to passive smoking.

If you smoke and you’ve managed to read this far despite being tired of all the health warnings, you should also know all of this is progressive. Keep smoking and the damage and risks just keep getting worse. It really might be time to stop. Maybe you know someone who still smokes and might want to stop. 

Now the good news … research also says quitting makes people happier. Sustained cessation is guaranteed with  Abicord’s single two-and-a-half-hour session, face-to-face or by phone or internet. It works because it combines four different approaches, any one of which can work on its own, but together they guarantee success. There’s a one year money-back guarantee for achieving the cessation and sustaining it for a year. The cost of the session is quickly recovered through savings on cigarettes. From then on it’s all savings. See www.abicord.com/smoking-cessation
