Six Steps to Weight Loss Success
- Engage a qualified weight loss coach
Coaching is an industry that is exploding today. The most successful people in the world have coaches. Actors, athletes, business people, couples and others have seen the wisdom of coaching. Why? Coaching simply accelerates performance and accomplishment. - Stop thinking like the traditional
dieter who quickly regains lost weight
Traditional diet "wisdom" holds that you are either "on a diet" or "off the diet". When you are "on the diet", you are "good". When you are "off the diet", you are "bad". In this faulty model, guilt is your constant companion as you live one misstep from "failure." The truth? No one is overweight because of ice cream and cake consumed at a daughter's fourth birthday party! In contrast to thinking like the diet industry has trained you to think, The Avignon Method will train you to think like a weight loss master - someone who has sustained his or her weight loss for ten, fifteen, or twenty years. - Master Your Body's "Fat Switch"
The body's "fat switch" is turned on and off largely by what we eat. Certain nutrition patterns turn it on so it aggressively stores fat. Other nutrition patterns turn off this "fat switch" so the body aggressively burns fat. The Avignon Method teaches you to turn this switch on and off at will. - Understand Calories
Though secondary to controlling the body's "fat switch", calories remain important. If we take in more calories than we burn, we gain weight. If we take in fewer calories than we burn, we lose weight. The amazing ATN calorie system, with three simple charts, teaches you to determine caloric value in any plate of food in fifteen to twenty seconds! - Reprioritize
Most people live life focused on taking care of the people around them. Timeless truth dictates that we cannot give powerfully from a place of emptiness. If we don't prioritize our self-care, our loved ones will pay a dear price watching us deteriorate. The truth is that we find the time, money, and energy for the things in life we deem important. You are important, and you have the opportunity to take great care of those you love by taking great care of yourself. - Learn to Value Balance, Consistency,
Skill and Self-knowledge Over Perfection
Traditional diet "wisdom" requires that you do the weight loss program perfectly. If we're honest, I'm not interested in living that way, and neither are you. Beyond that, it's simply unrealistic and a recipe for failure. Realistically, there is a time to prioritize your health and opt out of going to happy hour with friends. There is also a time to celebrate and indulge the happy hour. The Avignon Method teaches you to make the best choice for yourself given the greater life context. It also teaches you the art of course correction... without feeling guilty!
