Dieters using conventional methods fail at achieving long-term weight loss success because no one addresses the mental and emotional side of weight loss. After all, what good does it do for you to lose all your weight, only to fall back into the old habits and behaviors that caused the weight in the first place?
Dr. David Kessler, the scientist who once led the U.S. government’s attack on addictive cigarettes, recently published research suggesting that millions of Americans increasingly share a new malady he calls “conditioned hyper-eating,” a willpower-sapping drive to eat – especially high-fat, high-sugar foods – even when not hungry.
This condition occurs in the brain where these foods light up the brain’s dopamine (pleasure-sensing) pathway – the same pathway that conditions people to crave alcohol or drugs. According to Kessler, this factor is one of the root causes of the obesity epidemic in our country today.
If at times you feel as if you’re a slave to food, you may already be a victim of this devastating condition. Symptoms include:
- Feeling that food controls you
- Eating even when you’re not hungry
- Eating too fast
- Craving sugar, salt and fat
- The inability to identify the feeling of fullness
- Eating without conscious awareness (such as finishing a whole bag of chips without remembering to taste or enjoy them)
- Feeling compelled to continue eating even when you know you should stop
If you experience any of these symptoms, your brain has likely already developed conditioned hyper-eating. “Overeaters must retrain their brains to resist the lure,” Kessler advises.
Fortunately, the doctors at Backbone Health Restoration Center have discovered an exciting new approach for eliminating conditioned hyper-eating. It’s called Self-Mastery Technology, and it features a proven form of brainwave technology that uses gentle pulses of light and sound that guide the brain into the optimum state of learning and achievement. At the same time, the system delivers specific guided visualizations for behavior modification.
This powerful combination dramatically reduces stress and helps retrain your dopamine pathways, while “re-patterning” your thoughts, attitudes and emotions relating to food. By simply relaxing with this system, your eating habits, health and self-esteem all improve.
Randy Clusiau started using Self-Mastery Technology as part of his New Year’s resolution at the beginning of 2008.
“I was amazed by how relaxing it was,” Clusiau says. “Instantly, I slept better at night, and my habits started changing. I drank a lot more water without even thinking about it. I’d go to the fridge and automatically be drawn to the fruits and vegetables. I lost weight like crazy that first year.
“Even when the weight loss slowed, my changes continued. My pant size when I started was 50. Now I wear a 32. I haven’t been this light since I was 17! Not only did I lose 170 pounds, but I’ve kept it off over three years.
“I’m living proof that Self-Mastery Technology isn’t just another fad diet that won’t last. I’ve been able to reprogram my brain so the way I look at food and the way I look at life are different. That’s why I’m confident I’m going to keep my weight off for good. I’ve heard it takes 21 days to change a habit; I’ve experienced three years of total lifestyle change.”
Drs. Kristy Clinton and Tracie Schwab, directors of Burn Fat Austin in Backbone Health Restoration Center, say that patients who use this amazing technology find it eliminates the emotional factor in eating and helps patients gain freedom from the cravings that so often set them back in the past.
Once patients establish correct eating habits as their regular routine, they find that keeping the weight off is easy. Not only that, patients find the process calming, rejuvenating and fun. “Patients also report a lot of bonus benefits,” Clinton says, “including better sleep, focus and memory.”
Backbone Health Restoration Center has a different approach to tackling your weight-loss challenges. Losing weight goes far beyond the “calories in, calories out” concept. It just isn’t that simple. The human body’s metabolism doesn’t work like a bank account, but rather, more like a chemistry lab. It takes a healthy body with a healthy metabolism to achieve optimal weight loss and maintain it.
“Many patients who have failed at other weight-loss programs, as well as those patients who feel that they are already doing everything right (but are still unsuccessful at weight loss), have had amazing success with our customized programs,” Schwab says. “Our customized programs include a thorough evaluation to determine if there are any underlying issues that may impede weight loss and ultimately cause a decline in health.
“Did you know that hormone imbalances, digestion issues, food allergies, pain and inflammation, blood sugar issues, system toxins, stress and even a lack of proper sleep can slow and even stop your body’s ability to burn fat?
“Through properly supporting the body and therefore, allowing more balanced metabolism, the ability to burn fat improves, and therefore, more weight loss is accomplished. We want to ensure that every patient is losing unwanted pounds and achieving a better state of health as a result.
“Our patients comment every day that they are not only excited about their weight loss, but thrilled with how much more energy they have and how much better they feel. We not only help you get started on your weight loss journey, we also support you every step of the way.
“In addition to the Self-Mastery Technology, we use pharmaceutical grade supplementation, inch loss body wraps that cause you to lose inches permanently through the stimulation of the removal of toxins through the circulatory and lymphatic systems, infrared sauna sessions (as seen on Dr. Oz and Oprah) to allow you to burn 400 to 600 calories in a 30-minute session and weekly guidance for support, monitoring and accountability.”
