Get Thin—Be Happy:

The winner, Ryan Benson, was able to lose a staggering 122 pounds!

So how is Ryan Benson doing these days?

A recent article in Time magazine looked at some of the former Biggest Loser winners. Benson gained back close to 90 pounds after the show was over.

From Time Magazine—

But while the message of the show is inspiring, it is also unrealistic. The Biggest Loser achieves rapid transformations—contestants often drop more than 9 kg in a week—through calorie restriction, endless exercise and no small amount of dehydration that occurs behind the scenes. Ryan Benson, 38, an actor who works for a DVD distributor in Los Angeles, lost 55 kg to win the first season in January 2005 but says he regained 14.5 kg within five days simply by drinking water.

Matt Hoover, 31, a motivational speaker based in Seattle, had a 7-kg rebound within a day of winning Season 2. Last season’s runner-up, Kai Hibbard, 28, an aerobics instructor in Alaska who says she spent the night before her final weigh-in hopping in and out of a sauna for six hours, consumed only sugar-free Jell-O for several days and wolfed down asparagus, which is a natural diuretic. “It’s amazing the things you learn in a weight-loss competition,” she says.

Benson said that as soon as the show was over, he regained “14.5 kg [32 pounds] in 5 days simply by drinking water.” So, what does this tell you?! It points to the fact that when anyone rapidly loses weight, (faster than 1-2 pounds a week) usually the weight loss is mostly due to water loss.

Also, the contestants in the show are exercising (with a trainer) between 4-5 hours a day. This creates a dramatic loss of water in their body!

Another factor is that they are on television, held accountable by the millions of viewers and (of course) a huge monetary prize at the end.

When you read my book, Get Thin—Be Happy!, on page 51, “Why You Do What You Do” explains all of this. Read it and you have your answer!

If you are looking for some reasons to quit smoking, look no further. I’ll show you all of the most important reasons to quit smoking. Even though you’ve heard some a thousand times, others maybe new to you.

Quit For Your Health

Quitting for your health should be at the very top of your list. Smoking causes so many different health problems—from heart attacks and strokes, to cancer and emphysema—that it seems almost silly that anyone would still continue to smoke. There is so much information online that will show you all of the reasons to quit smoking for your health and the many different consequences that you can avoid simply by quitting now.

Quit For Your Wealth

Okay, how about all the reasons to quit smoking for your wealth? Think about the thousands of dollars you are spending each year on cigarettes, and what that money could mean in your pocket. When you consider the fact that the average pack of cigarettes costs about six dollars (TEN dollars in New York State!); if you smoke a pack a day, that adds up to two thousand, one hundred and ninety different reasons to quit smoking! That’s more than TWENTY thousand dollars every decade that you will have spent on cigarettes! Money that would be better spent on giving yourself the vacation of a lifetime once every ten years!

Quit For Your Life

By quitting smoking now you could be adding years to your life that you will be able to spend with your kids, grandkids, and spouse? Think about the fact that if you quit smoking now, the quality of your later years won’t be hampered by oxygen tanks, inhalers, drugs or other paraphernalia generally associated with a smoker’s final years.

There are so many reasons to quit smoking that it would be impossible to ever list them all here. Suffice to say, you can choose any of the reasons to quit smoking you like, and the fact will remain that you will benefit in all three areas—your health, your wealth, and your quality of life!

There are necessary lifestyle changes that will in fact save your life if you are suffering from chronic bronchitis. Many people just wait until the problem worsens which isn’t very wise. So, if you plan to continue to worsen, keep doing what you are doing now. However, if you want to improve your health, you will need to make some very important decisions.

Through a few changes in your lifestyle, you will increase your longevity. And, one of those changes is to finally quit smoking so you can improve your fighting chance against chronic bronchitis.

You knew I was going to say it, but smoking is probably the cause of your chronic bronchitis and therefore you simply must stop smoking. Amazingly, with hypnosis, this is the easiest part of the process of improving your lifestyle in the hopes of prolonging your life!

If you continue to smoke, you continue to add damage to your lungs and your bronchial tubes, worsening your condition, pushing you farther and faster through the stages of chronic bronchitis and ultimately shutting off your oxygen supply completely.

If you stop smoking, you stop adding additional damage to your lungs. You slow the progression of the disease significantly and, in some case, your body can repair some of the damage that has been done.

This shouldn’t be a difficult decision. The good news is that you can quit smoking. Just call us at 610-397-1515.

Smoking, including that of cigarette smoke and even marijuana smoking damages the lungs and is one of the general causes of chronic bronchitis.

Stop smoking. Quitting smoking is the single most important thing that you can do to improve your longevity in the way of chronic bronchitis. If you continue to smoke, you continue to lessen your life span.

Calories are simply units of measure. They don’t really exist as “things” in and of themselves; they are labels, just how an inch really isn’t anything, except as a measurement of the distance between two points.

So, what do calories measure?

One thing: they measure energy. That’s it. Nothing so evil; just a measurement of energy.

This is important because the body itself, despite its amazing structure and functions does not really do a very intelligent job of distinguishing “good” energy from “bad”.

Really, the body doesn’t care about where the energy comes from. Let’s look at food choices.

When we shop, with the almost unlimited of varieties of foods available—there seems to be a fair awareness of what’s good food, and what is bad or junk food.

We all know, of course that an apple is a “good” food, whereas a plate of nacho chips with lots of cheese is a “bad” food. And, while nachos are not bad tasting, you won’t find many fit people eating a plate of nachos, for obvious reasons.

So what does this have to do with calories and energy?

It’s this: while you and I can determine our choices of food and say that something (like an apple) is a reasonably healthy source of energy, and something else (like a plate of nachos) is an unhealthy source of energy, the body can’t determine this.

It may sound strange and amazing, but your body really doesn’t care either! To your body, energy is just energy. It takes what it gets. Without “thinking about it”.

So if we apply this to the body and to weight gain, when the body receives a calorie—which, as we now know, is just a name for energy—it must DO something with that energy.

So, putting all other nutrients and minerals aside, if an apple delivers 100 calories to the body, it has to accept those 100 calories. The same goes for 1,500 calories from a plate of nachos… those 1,500 calories have to be dealt with.

Next, the body does two things to that energy: it will either metabolizes it via anabolism (convert the energy (calories) into cells/tissue), or it will metabolizes it via catabolism (use that energy (calories) to break down cells).

Do you see now how the link between calories/energy, metabolism, and weight loss becomes rather clear and direct?

In your body, when there is an excess of energy, and the body can’t use this energy to deal with any needs at the time, it will be forced to create cells with that extra energy.

Even though the body may not want to, after realizing that the energy can’t be used to do anything (such as help you exercise or digest some food), it will turn it into cells through anabolism.

And what are those extra cells? Yes… added weight!

To sum up, the whole calorie/metabolism/weight gain thing is really just about… excess energy!

When there’s too much energy from food, i.e., too many calories in the body— then the body transforms those calories.

And, most of the time, it is fat.

Want to avoid taking in those extra calories you accumulate by eating the “wrong” food? Hypnosis is perfect for that! Call me, Bryan Toder, at 610-397-1515 and we’ll talk at at free screening appointment.

Stress can take a lot out of you. When you feel overwhelmed and “up against the wall”, do you notice familiar headaches or backaches that you get in response to a stressful situation? Before you let this upset you, take the time to think about what type of stress you’re experiencing.

There are two types of stress: Eustress and Stress. Each is so different; one is actually useful while the other is harmful to your body.

Eustress is one of the helpful types of stress. Eustress is an anxious feeling that’s more akin to anticipation than dread. You may experience eustress before giving a presentation at work, before going on a job interview or when preparing a gourmet meal from a recipe you’ve never tried before.

Eustress happens, too, right before you need to exert physical force as it prepares the body for whatever is about to happen.

In eustress, you’re dealing with uncertainty, and the outcome isn’t fatal. It is the proper name for a man’s pounding heart as he produces the engagement ring or the bride’s pre-wedding jitters just as she’s about to walk down the aisle.

These are “good” stresses as they represent taking a step into the unknown toward a positive outcome. Stress or “distress”, on the other hand, is fear, anxiety, frustration and that overcoming sense of dread.

Ever experience “job burnout”? This is the result of working too long in a stressful environment. Exposure to stressful situations and people whose demands become stressful to you results in negative stress and burnout.

With stress, there’s nothing useful about it. It’s the warm-up act for a heart attack, stroke and emotional breakdown. Those who say they “work better under stress,” haven’t asked their immune system how it feels.

This could also affect your immune system! Living or working under stressful conditions for long periods of time is damaging to your immune system. Ever noticed how you’re more inclined to catch the office cold when you’re overworked than when you are not?

Your immune system can’t deal with the stress load and have enough left over to fight a bug. Stop and analyze your stress in a “mood journal” by writing down specific answers to these questions:

When observing your stress patterns, you can look at ways to change either your involvement with stress or your response to it. Is what you are feeling really harmful stress (distress) or just eustress?

If it’s actually eustress, then you can change what you say from, “I’m so stressed out over the vacation” to, “I’m so excited about our vacation!” You’ll be amazed how your body responds differently to each type of stress.
