The Food Philosophy will show you how to lose weight, feel genuine choice and control around food and set yourself free from overeating for the rest of your life.
Most overeaters come to The Food Philosophy believing they know all there is to know about overeating and weight loss. After many years of reading and absorbing information (in some cases in amounts that excel PhD levels of education on the subject!), you could be forgiven for thinking there’s nothing more you can learn. Each time you read something in a magazine or see some advice and information on TV or explore a ‘new’ weight-loss plan that says it’s different – including the fashionable alternative to a diet – it fits in with what you know, seems reasonable and obvious and you want to try it, but there’s an underlying feeling that it won’t work because something about it feels really familiar.
No matter how fancy the new method or technique is wrapped up, everything just feels like the same old same old.
This sensation is something you will have experienced over and over again if you’re like any overeater worth their salt who will hunger for a new method and try anything to get out of the trap. This is a sensation that you will be expecting to feel once more with The Food Philosophy.
This is a feeling that will hinder you as it will mean you are reading the information with a closed mind. The Food Philosophy is going to blow wide open everything you think you know and you have to be prepared for it by suspending your cynicism and stopping yourself from ‘expecting’ to learn nothing new. We all filter information in the same way and the danger here is that you will have your filter switched to a setting that will absorb all that backs up what you already believe and discard the important stuff that will change your life and catapult you right out of the trap you’re in.
Another type of closed mindedness that might hold you back is fear. If you’ve spent your whole life trying and failing to gain control of your eating, you’ll be feeling desperate and panicky that this will be another method that doesn’t work. You’re afraid that this might be a last resort and when your expectations are fulfilled and it becomes just another one of those things you’ve tried and failed that you’ll have nowhere else to turn. You might also be feeling exhausted by the repeated failure and approaching FP with a flat feeling of ‘OK, here we go again.’
If you do read the course material with these filters switched on and don’t let any of it register internally, you’ll then approach the steps and exercises with the wrong mindset and you’ll be doing them with reference to old information that comes from the diet industry and not from FP and this won’t work.
In order to ‘get’ FP, you might have to wave goodbye to some of the opinions you hold and these might be very strong opinions with what seems like good evidential background. I’m not asking you for blind trust (that would make me the same as the diet industry!), I’m asking you to have the most open mind you can achieve and pretend that not only are you reading this new information for the first time, but that all the information you think you know is being read for the first time.
Then I want you to weigh up these two sets of information and use your own thinking skills to compare them both to your internal experience and come up with a conclusion that is entirely your own, with outside influence being only a tool. Basically I’m asking you to switch off your ‘passive receive’ setting and switch on your ‘thinking for yourself’ setting!
As you move through the course, this advice won’t be needed as much as it is now because you’ll see the difference between FP and other methods and your filter will change to accommodate your new learning. But to give yourself the best chance right from the beginning please open your mind and suspend your cynicism and be prepared to learn a completely new way to stop overeating.
FP is really very exciting and it gives you a high that is indescribable when you realise you have control.
