'Eat what you want' myth

I mentioned Paul McKenna of 'I can make you thin' fame in an earlier post. First of all: No, you bloody can't. You can make yourself very rich (good on ya' mate) and you might be able to help me but you can not MAKE me thin, OK? He quite clearly offends my tendency to take what people say literally - its a German thing!

So one of his principles of naturally thin people is that they eat what they want and orders his listeners to do the same. Newsflash: Naturally thin people do NOT eat everything they want, they are disciplined around food otherwise they would be fat! We are back to that unconscious competence thing again...............................
Naturally thin people do have the ability to balance their nutrition unconsciously. I don't and get into trouble every time I believe I can.

Anyway, apart from that, what he suggest in his book is pretty good. It IS all in the mind and there it needs to be sorted. Regrettably the artificial deep voice he uses on his hypnosis tapes grinds me down after a while and I need to switch off.

I have done my own principles and know that if I follow these that it will make a big difference to me (just click on the picture and you get a big version)
