So, some of you may or may not know that my mum is a physiologist/nlp, eft, emotrance and hypnotherapy…which really means nothing to me but I know she builds them all together to create “personal transformation” as she likes to call it. So I thought it would be nice to pop along and actually find out what she does. Today was focusing on goals but another therapist who she is going into a side-project-business-thing with whose main area is weight loss. Obviously I was intrigued and sat in on what he was doing with people. 
What he basically teaches is that if you cut out sugars and carbs, you will lose weight no matter what. Which like my dad just said “is one theory”…anyway. What we discussed is that basically reverting back to a primal diet, just meats, nuts and berries or things to the effect.  Which really smooths out to be basically Atkins…He believes that it is actually a really good diet plan that got slated by the media due to everyone having an addiction to sugars. Which is fair enough, I suppose there is parts of that. Now i’m away i’m sounding very negative towards this mans teachings and they have been followed through and have happened to work wonders, so I do believe that what he knows must be good. 
There was a young girl and her mum on the course and to entice her to his was of thinking (the cutting carbs and sugars) “do you like bacon? do you like eggs?….well doing it this way you can have that for breakfast every day”. He also went on to say something about how we shouldn’t be drinking fresh fruit juice as it is packed with sugars. I mean I’m not a nutritionist and I don’t know that much about how your diet effects your body but I’ve always been taught from things like Home Ecenomics classes that that is good sugar, sugar that your body needs and I guess it kind of confused me as to why we would have to cut something so natural and healthy to lose weight. I got annoyed about the bacon and eggs point because, I personally wouldn’t find it a nutritious breakfast, it’s the type of quick and easy meal and ultimately leaves you feeling groggy and run down, not energetic and alive which is what you’re supposed to feel like after morning munching. 

I guess with weight loss there will always be opposing views and ideas and things that do seem pretty controversial. If you’ve read this much, you get a sticky star because it’s a ridiculously pointless post that I just needed to write to get out my system.
