It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.

(Charles Darwin)

Rational?

If losing excess fat and eating healthily was so easy, then everyone would be doing it.
In truth, it is not so easy.

There is no rational reason to eat junk food. It is fatty, contains very little nutrition and destroys your body.
We all know the logic, yet people continue to eat badly. Why is this?

Junkie

Junk food is chemically addictive.

This means that all the logic, rationale and good intentions in the world are not going to work.
Your body and your mind wants the junk.
It craves sugary food. The junk makes you feel good. It tastes good. It fills you up. It picks you up.


Re-balance

If your mind and your body have been compromised by addiction, what can you do?

There is only one answer: stop. Regain control. Find balance once more. End the addiction.
Reclaim your body.

The junk food addiction means that your craving and your apparent hunger cannot be trusted.
The addiction also means that you are out of control. Your body is betraying you.


De-tox

Your body and your mind need to be cleansed.
The adverse chemicals, the stored body fat and the poor eating habits all need to be removed.

A serious act of self-discipline is required. Or is it?

If you truly want to lose fat, have a slimmer, healthier body and feel physically better, then you are half way there.
You have the desire. The passion. The intent.
Consider: if this is something that you want to do then no force is required.

What are you fighting against?
Not yourself, but the falsehood of the craving.
This is not a battle that involves willpower. It requires understanding, sensitivity, clarity.

Your aim is not to vanquish anyone. You simply want to return to a natural condition of health.


The challenge

If you feel down at first, remember that this is something you want to do.
Something positive.
It will have long lasting benefits for both your body and your mind. That is no small feat.

You are not being forced. No one is making you do this. The challenge and the accomplishment is your own.

If you can make it through the first 6 weeks, things will get far easier.
At some point you will lose interest in junk food.
