Most of us have tried to lose weight by denying food cravings, starving hunger, skipping meals, never snacking, keeping a frantic pace all day, substituting liquid for foods, exercising sporadically to justify binging—but all of that is the opposite of what our bodies want. Eating Free works because it is the synthesis of many factors that impact your body’s ability to do what it does best: identifying and burning good fuel for optimal functionality. With Eating Free, you’ll understand your body’s needs and learn to answer them in a responsible, informed way.
The reality is, weight loss is about 80% nutrition and only 20% exercise. Once you understand this, you’ll discover the freedom to choose how you spend your free time. You can choose to spend an hour on a treadmill, furiously trying to break a sweat in order to justify the big dinner you plan to eat, or you can spend that same hour shopping for smart foods, preparing a sensible and satisfying meal and recharging your energy to aid your body’s ability to process and metabolize caloric intake. You may be surprised to know that option number two is far more likely to help you succeed at shedding pounds. Once you learn the concepts behind Eating Free, you’ll be amazed at how painless and enjoyable it is to integrate the principles of Eating Free into your everyday routine.
Eating Free also works because, unlike other diets, it factors stress into the equation. Science shows that stress actually triggers sugars and hormones that cause weight gain. So while it may sounds simplistic to advocate a calm approach to your day and your eating program, relaxing is an essential component to achieving your weight loss goals. Similarly, science proves that those adults who routinely get less than 6 hours of sleep a night have a 75% higher chance of obesity. It really flies in the face of all those folks who thrive on stress and fast action as a means to lose weight. It turns out, their imbalanced lifestyle may be just the thing that keeps the weight on!
In short, Eating Free works because it is possible—and preferable—to lose weight without punishment and suffering. Eating Free will put us in balance and remind us that our bodies really do know best.
