I’ve bought this guy’s book twice but I still can’t find it at the moment… anyway part of his method involves visualisation - I think it is for a few minutes a day and it partly involves getting pictures of your ideal body and imagining that you had that body. I’ve never actually tried his technique (well I have for a few seconds at a time). The first copy I had of his book included a CD with the visualisation program and also relaxation as well.
My point is that using his program would involve me thinking about weight loss a lot more than I currently do.
Some people use affirmations to try and lose and maintain their weight.
Again, this involves thinking about weight loss more than I currently do.
Visualization won’t help.
Actually doing the work will help.
(Next time you’re at Las Vegas, visualize winning a lot of money. Well, why not, I guess. At very least, it won’t hurt!)
I thought visualization can help with motivation though in the book I was talking about it apparently achieves more than that.
He’s more machine now than man.
Well, this just brings us back to JohnClay being a very very lazy person. Diet and exercise is too much burden, too much work, a sloth of true indolence.
The fuck-wit ain’t very bright either. I hate to bring in the specter of religious devotion, but this guy is a great example. This whole thread has the look and feel of a witnessing. JohnClay is just trying to convert us to his way of thinking and nothing will change his little mind. I’ll bet pine cones to dandelion flowers he has a ritual when he takes his sacred medicines, a dance or he spins in place, anything so the magic is stronger.
What is your sin, JohnClay, what evil thing have you done? Why do you hide behind your pathetic excuse of a waste of protoplasm?
Run, don’t walk, to your nearest Catholic priest and TELL HIM ALL !!!
Amen
Say, have you ever heard of the “Breatharian” diet? Guaranteed weight loss, no need for exercise or calorie counting.
Jesus, what a porker. :rolleyes:
That’s the winning approach, John. Stay on the sofa, eat chips and biscuits and laze your way to a healthy body. And then you can write the book about it and make a fortune. Do it. I believe in you.
Kim Jong-un style of sexiness … it’s the new rage with the girls …
I’m morbidly obese and I was so nauseated by his flabbiness that I went out and took a walk. Dude has never exercised in his life.
Though I haven’t been jogging lately I still have been dieting and walking a lot. I also climbed a 200m mountain last week.
Well my diet has been working and I think DrFidelius’s diet would make me too hungry.
You’re a blob of a man, JC. You may be the first human being with no muscle mass. Shameful.
FTR, 200m is not a mountain. Multiple sources indicate the minimal size requirement to be a mountain is 2000 ft (610m). You sound ridiculous inflating your hike this way.
You aren’t getting this. Your diet is working for you. Fan-freaking-tastic. DrF made a suggestion for a diet plan that would work for most people. You don’t like his suggestion and prefer your own “belly fat” diet. Duly noted. The majority of people (all?) who read this thread and the belly fat thread think the belly fat diet is bunk for reasons we have enumerated at length. Also, you should exercise. Enjoy your diet.
From Wikipedia:
“Mount is a mountain in a national park…”. In the article it calls it a mountain a few times.
“In Australia, Botswana and some other places, the word “mountains” is also used to describe high land that is really a plateau and is flat on top, rather than having peaks.”
There’s even “Mount Elimbah, 129 m”
Why is it bunk? Something to do with spot reduction?
Climbing a 200m hill is exercise…
Also:
Not sure how true that is though.
Look, if it’s shorter than the Eiffel tower, it’s not a fucking mountain. You can call it whatever you want, but it’s not. Also, the measurement of heights is from sea level; does your mountain begin at sea level, or is it less than 200 meters from its base to its (heh) summit?
Yes, of course, regardless of my nitpicks, climbing that “mountain” is exercise. It’s damn good exercise. You should do it consistently, two or three times a week, until it is no longer a challenge, and then you should find a higher mountain. Or a stairway inside a skyscraper, whatever.
The bottom is a bit above sea level so the peak would be a bit less than 200 from the base.
Locally, in San Diego, we have Cowles Mountain and Mount Woodson (among others) which have “mountain” and “mount” in their names…but are less than 1,000 feet from trailhead to summit.
Damn fine exercise! A 600 foot climb is no mean accomplishment. One of my favorite trails is called “Climbers’ Loop Trail” and it goes up 400 feet, across one mile, and then down again. An ideal challenge for someone like me, and quite probably someone like you.
I like going up hills…because it’s so much easier coming down again when I’m bushed! In contrast, I would dream hiking down into The Grand Canyon…and then having to grind back uphill again, when I’m tired and footsore!
Also, the view from hilltops is usually pretty impressive!
Upstate New York has Mohonk Mountain and its Labyrinth, a marked trail stretching some 975 feet through a natural rock field. That hike was an annual event with my church’s youth group.
