The Yo-Yo Diet And What They Never Told You
The yo-yo diet is a very common phenomenon in the fat loss world, and one that many people have a very hard time dealing with.
And unfortunately many people in the fitness industry will give very “surface-level” questions when asked about this topic. They might say things like…well you must not be doing your goals right, or you should just be more focused!
But is that REALLY the reason the yo-yo diet exists?
I think not.
The True Cause Of The Yo-Yo Diet
The one thing that most people don’t understand about the yo-yo diet is that it has almost nothing to do with what you’re doing on the outside. I don’t mean working out or eating healthy doesn’t matter – I mean that goals or anything like that will NOT make a difference. You can have the best goals in the world but if this certain part of you isn’t aligned correctly (which I’ll explain in a second)…you’re still going to get sucked into the yo-yo diet world.
Ok, so what causes it?
It’s simple really. It’s when your mental image of yourself doesn’t match up to what your body looks like on the outside.
Let me explain.
Let’s say you’ve been dieting for a few months for an upcoming summer and you’re just starting to be able to see your abs. Or maybe you’ve just gotten your stomach flat, or whatever the case may be.
Well, if you still THINK of yourself as an overweight person – it’s impossible for you to stay slim because your mind simply doesn’t believe it.
Read that sentence again because it’s incredibly important.
I’m not saying it’s “hard” to stay slim…I’m saying it’s IMPOSSIBLE.
Now I realize a lot of people who underestimate the power of the mind absolutely will not agree with me on this, but I’ve witnessed with my own body exactly how powerful the mind can be so I know.
Here’s an example from one of my favorite personal development speakers, Jim Rohn. He said he’d been slightly overweight most of his life and his granddaughter called him “fatty” as kind of a joke – but on a regular basis.
(It may have been a different nickname but it was something saying that he was overweight)
Well, one day he told her not to call him that anymore and once she stopped – he immediately started losing weight and NEVER put it back on.
So basically what I’m saying is that if you’re the type of person who is suffering from the yo-yo diet syndrome, all you have to do is take 5 minutes twice a day and start visualizing what you want your body to look like. Get a very clear image in your head and FEEL the emotions as you look at your sexy self 
Do that…and the yo-yo diet goes away and you can finally learn to stay slim forever.
New Updates For You!
First of all – sorry for the long time with no posts! I’ve had an incredibly crazy couple of months including moving, getting married and a whole bunch of other great things going on in my life.
So today isn’t really about any “fat loss” tips or anything like that – I’m simply go to give you an update and let you know I’ll be posting a little more often again. I’m not exactly sure how often, maybe 1-3 times per week depending on what ideas hit me and when, but it will be more often than once every few months!
Anyway here are a few updates:
#1 – I’m married now to an absolutely gorgeous wife! I’ve talked about her in the past as my girlfriend…and she’s finally my wife after 6 years (theirs no turning back for her now!)
#2 – I’ve gotten a ton of great reviews of my book Hassle Free Fat Loss, and am now getting prepared to completely re-do the ENTIRE website (maybe even the blog) plus add a whole bunch of new content to the book! I’m shooting to have all of this done by the end of this year, but we’ll see what happens
Along those lines I also have a new case study of a friend of mine who followed my course without any “extra” help from me, and lost 20 pounds in just a few weeks to hit his target weight of 195 – way to go Nathan!
#3 – I’m looking for a few beta-testers to take a look at my Hassle Free Fat Loss book and critique it, letting me know what you love and hate about it so that when I come out with version #2 it’s the best it can possibly be.
And just for helping me out I’m going to give you a full $20, leaving the final price at just $19.95 instead of $39.95.
(Please email me at Jeremy @ hasslefreefatloss.com and let me know you’re interested – remove the spaces before and after the @ symbol)
That’s about it for the updates. I hope you’ve had an amazing summer and if so, please let me here your stories!
