Synopsis

OK, so you'd like to lose weight - or you'd like to keep slim but you know your diet just isn't that healthy. You'd like to stop the pounds creeping back on, or maybe you could feel better, sleep better, be more energized? I can show you how. Rather than making you count calories, carbs or eat by percentages I've discovered an infinitely more effective system of levels and goals that will switch on a healthy eating passion in you for life.

Everyone starts on level 1 - because that's where you find your reasons and motivation for being here in the first place. And it's where we flip the switch from just thinking about it to doing it! Level 2 is Cleanse and Renew. This is a re-education for your body where you'll gradually cut out toxins and replenish through super foods. Level 3 is your key to Weight Loss. Check your BMI and body fat ratios and follow my diet plan day-by-day. This includes a comprehensive list of what you can eat, a month's worth of menu plans, plus motivation tips and a section on exercise. Once you've reached your goal and you're feeling fabulous then Level 4 will help you feel this way for life. We all love an indulgence too and this section will include tips on treats which won't send you hurtling back to level 1 and a fantastic mini plan in case you ever need a quick kick back into healthy living!

Dr Gillian McKeith’s Ultimate Health Plan
Energy Goal Drawing: Ten Minute Visualization Exercise

1 Start with a thought
What do you want? For instance, you may set an objective that you want to be slimmer, or have more energy or a radiant complexion.

Example:
I want to be slimmer

2 Write down your thought
Once you commit your thought to paper with pen, you elevate the thought to a new level of energy.

Example:
I am slim

3 Assess the action needed to achieve your goal
Think about what it will take to become slim, healthy or energized. Break it down into steps. For example, if your goal is to be slim, then your first Action Step is to keep a diary of everything you eat and drink for a week. Your second Action Step might be to throw away all the rubbish foods that I tell you are too nasty for your body. And so on.

Example:
Step 1: Create a food diary
Step 2: Throw out all the rubbishy food
(This is only an example to illustrate the possibilities. I want you to plan this out with your individual goals and steps to match. Be creative and do anything here that meets your own aspirations.)

4 Draw your goal in a picture
With a black pen, I want you to draw on plain, white paper whatever it is that you want to achieve or how you want to see yourself. So using the slim example, draw a simple figure of yourself looking slim and happy. You do not need to be Rembrandt. All you need to do is draw with stick figures. Put a caption underneath your drawing.

Example:
(Your name) IS SLIM. I AM SLIM.

5 Draw your action steps
With a black pen on white paper, draw pictures of you actually going through your Action Steps to reach your end goal.

Example:
A picture of a Food Diary with caption, ‘(Your name) fills out Food Diary.’
Complete the pictures and flow it through until you get to your end result and you are now slim.
Our thoughts have powerful energy. When we write down these thoughts, and even transfer them into pictures, we dramatically intensify them. You are now harnessing the thought into action.
You can make anything happen. You become the creator of your own destiny.
 Review your drawings every day and redraw them once a month. 
 You may find that, on reflection, you wish to elaborate some steps or shorten some steps. After all, you now know that you are the creator of your destiny.

(Please note that the examples above are all in the present tense, which further strengthens the energy of your thought. So instead of ‘I will be slim’, it’s ‘I am slim’. This method leaves no room for doubt. When you state ‘I am’ there is nowhere else to go but get results and achieve success.)

Dr Gillian’s top 10 weight-loss tips…

1) Eat more, not less: My clients raise metabolism and keep blood sugar levels stable with regular healthy eating.

2) Snacking is good: If you want to burn fat and prevent your body putting it back on, you must stabilize your blood sugar. In order to do this, you need to eat every two to three hours.

3) Drink more water: Drink eight glasses of water a day between meals. Lack of water can slow the metabolic rate just as lack of food can.

4) Find out what’s eating you: Eating foods that aren’t healthy can often be triggered by stress, boredom, loneliness and other emotions. Learning to deal with emotions without food is a significant skill that will greatly serve long-term weight control.

5) Keep moving: Walking to the shops, mowing the lawn and taking the stairs at work all count and keep you moving throughout the day. Remember: the more you move, the more pounds you will lose.

6) Don’t shop when you’re hungry: Eat something before you go, make a shopping list and stick to it.

7) Eat in the raw: Every time you have something cooked, have something raw with it. Raw foods are the only source of food enzymes, a catalyst for weight balance.

8) Breakfast like a king: Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a queen and dinner like a pauper.

9) Eat dinner early: Dinner should be no later than 6 to 7pm, if possible. Unless you want to gain weight and feel sluggish, of course.

10) Throw out your scales: If you want to have a positive relationship with food, you have to look at food in a whole different way. Give up the weighing and counting and release yourself.
