I like your direct, no nonsense plan. I had not thought to have a committment for 2007 regarding my weight as I am fine there but improved health is my desired direction. I will use the tools learned in 7th Path Self-hyipnosis to help me along the way. Happy New Year.

Excellent approach. I would just like to add that I'm a bit of a gym rat, and that you need to eat frequently, this will raise your metablolism. You have to keep the furnace burning. If you go to long without eating, your body will think you are dieing, and hold on to the fat for preservation. It's primitive. It works the same way with water weight, if you want to get rid of water weight, drink water frequently, otherwise again your body thinks you're dieing of thirst, and will help you survive by holding on to the water in your body. Get at least one gram of protein per pound of body weight, otherwise you will lose the weight, but without muscle tone, you will look unhealthy.
Just my two cents

Well Cal, I think this is a fabulous step by step process.
I have lost weight using 7th path, gained aproximately ten pounds back.
However, for anyone who wants to lose weight can follow these steps to guide them. I am also writing a research paper for college on hypnosis and weightloss. So I am looking forward to hearing further about this.I think that you are a genius! I know I need to exercise more that is for sure. You have given me many ideas to sustain my own weight management.

Thanks for making it up!

Dear Calvin,
I applaud your willingness to practice what you preach and your willingness to offer leadership by example.Most of us that practice hypnotism are alternative medicine practitioners that advocate health and wellness as a lifestyle.Our clients are understandably surprised, and I believe disappointed, when their hypnotist is not also utilizing the knowledge and tools for wellness and health offered to the client.I know your efforts will benefit you and those that look to you as a leader.
Best Wishes, William Mitchell,M.Div.,FAAIM,CI

Thank you all for writing in and leaving your comments on the blog about my post. I can see that this is a red hot topic.
Let me see if I can respond to each comment that I have received so far.
Marie, Thank you so much for your encouragement for my “no nonsense plan.†And, I am so glad to hear that you are using 7th Path Self-Hypnosis® and plan to use it for improving your health in this new year. Best wishes and let us know all about your success as you progress.
Ken, thanks for your input about eating frequently. My plan is to eat 5 small meals a day, each one consisting of a small portion of protein (meat, fish, or poultry), and some nice veggies and/or fruit. This way I should be able to hold on to all of my lean muscle tissue, and maybe even gain a bit. Thanks again for the advice.
Hi Chantal, it is good to hear from you. I remember hearing about all of the weight that you lost using 7th Path Self-Hypnosis®. I’m very proud of your success! I’m sure that when and if you decide to take those 10 pounds back off you can do it. Heck, you know you can! Best wishes on your research paper on hypnosis!
Hi Jeanette, I’m so glad to hear that you are going to join me on “this venture.†I can just see us both standing there looking and feeling so great at the next convention! I’ll have to remember to bring a camera so I can post it here on the blog!

Hello William,
Thanks for the kind words about what I am doing. I hope that some others will be encouraged to join me in this process. And, as you say, it does not just have to be weight loss, but perhaps some hypnotists will also be encouraged to lead healthier life styles, i.e., overcome drinking problems, and quitting smoking!
Thanks again,
Cal

Cal
congratulations on your weight reduction - I am starting my reduction in February when I go through my 5PATH with one of the English 5 PATH Angels I travelled with last August - I am so jealous of my clients getting what they want and more that I have decided to follow the course myself - I have few more pounds to shift than you and the weather here is currently not cycling or Trikking - however I trust that when we meet in April we both will be much much closer to where we want to be.
Your 9 step plan really makes sense! Thank you for sharing it with us.

Hello Piers,
Thanks for your "congrats" it is great to receive your comment. That is great that you are going to go through 5-PATH(R) yourself! It is all about having a better future, a healthy, happy more fulfiling life.
See you in London in April! We can futher congratulate each other on looking and feeling so wonderful.
I don't know how we are going to manage keeping all those hypno-babes away!
