About Us

This is a red letter day because my belt has come in another notch. That makes 2 inches off my waist in 61 days, cool. Here is a photo of my belt.

As those of you who watch our online TV show will know, I went to a mega birthday lunch yesterday, wine, beer, 3 course lunch, more wine and chatting with lots of old friends. This morning I was one pound LIGHTER.

Now the reason I mention the loss of a single pound is that it shows how weight goes up and down, even when you’re eating sensibly and exercising regularly.

For the party I used a special hypnotic technique which ensures that you don’t put on weight when you have the occasional large, cholesterol laden meal. I will explain more about this technique at the June 1 Hypnothon (see below).

Over the 61 days I have lost 11 pounds. That may not seem like a lot but you have to remember that I have increased my exercise regime. By doing more exercise I have put on body tone, some might call it muscle, but I have never had a lot of muscle.

Muscle weighs heavier than fat, so I feel that I have converted a lot of fat to muscle. Anyway, we will soon know because this morning I had a blood test so that my cholesterol level can be measured. I will know the results by the time I write my next entry in this diary.

The other sign that I have managed to tone my body is that the flab under my upper arms seems to be less than it was.

Summary of the past 61 days:

I have lost weight and that is good.

The exercises to lose weight are working well - my body is better toned, I have more strength, more energy and I feel better about myself. I am also sleeping better.

The hypnosis sessions to which I have subjected myself have been a great help. I have not had a problem dealing with the odd instances of feeling hungry. I have been very determined. Only on very rare occasions have I given in to the temptation to snack or to over-eat or drink, these occasions have all occurred when we’ve been at parties or when we’ve been out.

The experience of eating healthy tasty food all the time has been really enjoyable. I feel a lot better for it, less sluggish, really lively.

Looking ahead to June 1:

I am really looking forward to the Hypnothon on June 1st. It will be a fantastic experience to help loads of people succeed at losing weight in the same easy way that I am.

The show will start at 12 noon EST, 6 pm BST. It will last about 45 minutes. It will be on online TV. You just have to the web site and watch. It will be a unique opportunity for anyone interested in losing weight to experience hypnosis. You don’t have to allow yourself to hypnotise yourself but you can if you wish.

On the show I will also be announcing our unique Weight Loss Challenge. This will be a real help to anyone determined to lose weight. You can find out more on the Hypnothon Page.

Fast Food Calories

Just about every form of cooked fast food is liable to cause you to put on weight because they are almost all high in polyunsaturated fats, salt and sugars.

The high concentration of fats, salts and sugars are there to add flavor.

Before telling you how many calories there are in these foods, you should first consider that a healthy male requires about 2,500 calories a day and a healthy female roughly 2,000 calories a day.

Now consider these figures:

McDonalds calories - 3.8 oz Hamburger = 270 calories
Big Xtra with cheese = 810 calories
Burger King calories – 4.2 oz Hamburger = 320 calories
- Double Whopper (13.2 oz) with cheese = 1010 calories
Taco Bell calories – Country breakfast burrito, 4 oz = 270 calories
Taco salad w/Salsa, 19 oz. = 850 calories
Starbucks calories = cappuccino, low fat milk, short = 79 calories
20 oz Mocha, whole milk, venti = 508 calories
Subway calories – Deli Style breads 2.2 oz = 170 calories
Super classic Italian BTR 6”, 11.4 oz sandwich = 668 calories
Calories in pizza = º standard 12” pizza = 307 calories
º with extra cheese topping, 14”, deep dish = 745 calories

Some of these fast foods can give you nearly half of your daily calorie requirement in one portion. That’s without any extras.

If you’re serious about losing weight we recommend that you steer clear of fast food restaurants. But if eating in one is unavoidable, be careful what you select.
