I Found a Healthy, Safe and Effective Weight Loss Plan that Fits My Size

I had learned from working in the Weight Loss Industry for four years that a “one size fits all” diet does not work. Although, I have not been in the Industry for over five years, I am intrigued by the fact that the Weight Loss Industry has a 96% failure rate and continues to flourish and rake in $45 billion dollars a year of our hard earned money. How can this be! Lets first look at some facts and then I will share with you what I have found.

• more than 76% of Americans are now overweight.

• more than 27% of us are “officially” obese (more than 20% overweight)

• childhood and teen obesity have nearly tripled – in a single decade.

• Obesity has now replaced heart disease as America’s number one health problem.

We have now spent more than $45 billion a year on Diet Industry “solutions” and this is what we have to show for all our time, money, and effort:

• An appalling 96% of America’s weight loss efforts end in failure.

• We gain back a heartbreaking 95% of the pounds we do manage to lose.

• In fact, we often gain back more than we lost.

Now, as presented to me “any other industry with a 96% failure rate would be forced to admit that they just don’t have a clue to what works. But not the Diet Industry.”

There is an amazing “Healing Revelation” in a healthy, safe, and effective weight loss plan called “Weight Loss God’s Way” developed by Dr. Frank B. Smoot, MA, DD. Although, four months ago I was not looking for a weight loss plan I did come upon this site through an affiliate network. The name “Weight Loss God’s Way” was interesting enough for me to click on, read, and sign up to receive the newsletter. Dr. Frank, as he is known by his clients has set up a healthy, safe, and effective weight loss plan for making permanent changes on the inside, so the root causes of your behaviors that do not support you will be eliminated forever, replaced with healthy beliefs and attitudes and your behaviors that do support you will naturally follow for healthy, safe, and effective weight loss. In other words, the underlying cause of weight loss failure is … our own self-sabotaging beliefs, says Dr. Frank. Dr. Frank found 2 sources that could provide him with truthful information on successful behavior change for lasting weight loss. Those 2 sources are:

• Real clinical weight loss studies conducted by real research scientists (and not by people who “play on tv” or who were trying “to sell” him anything).

• The Bible. This one took Dr. Frank by complete surprise.

“When scripture and science agree about anything, who will be foolish enough to ignore the message?”

(There have been 47 studies involving more than 14,700 people over periods of up to 16 years.) The breakthrough that finally opened the doors to a healthy, safe, and effective weight loss plan was this discovery:

• approximately 20–25% of weight loss success comes from eating the right foods in the right amounts.

• Another 10-15% of success is the result of getting appropriate exercise.

• But an astonishing 60-70% of your success depends on the unseen root cause of any weight problem.

So, if you had the best diet and exercise equipment, you would have only part of the solution to healthy, safe, and effective weight loss. The most important ingredient is the 60-70% correction of the unseen root cause.

“God had given us the keys to Weight Loss success 2000 years before science had a clue”. In Dr. Frank’s surprise of searching for a healthy, safe, and effective weight loss plan he says “Truly, God works in mysterious ways. Who would have imagined that the life-changing secrets of safe and permanent weight loss would be found “hiding” in a 2000-year-old-book? But there was One who knew.” “But now, at last, the truth will set you free.” In Dr. Frank’s “Four Success Factors” outlined in his success program “Weight Loss God’s Way” are the same “Four Success Factors” that are identified in the Bible – all in one place, and in the same order.

In his own words...

"First, I'm a real person, just like you. The people who decide to work with me do so because they find me to be extremely down to earth. They tell me that's why they can relate to me, and why - as a team - we get such great results.

My first 'formal' credential is a graduate degree in clinical psychology, and I have practiced as a licensed psychotherapist. I no longer care to operate in today's complicated 'managed care' environment. That's one reason I went 'independent.'

I also hold a Doctor of Divinity in Holistic Theology, which reflects my strong interest in the spiritual aspect of who we humans are, and the need to involve body, mind, and spirit in all healing processes.

I have been coaching people for more than a decade on such subjects as weight loss, healthy relationships, and personal / spiritual growth. My mission as a coach is to help people discover the truth, and to help them identify and remove the barriers to their own success. It's not hard to do, and it's often fun. It's also extremely rewarding and even life-changing.

I've written a number of books on the subjects I like to coach on:

• 111 Thing Every Woman Must Know About Men

• Love's Fatal Illusions

• The 7 Hidden Secrets of Struggle-Free Weight Loss

• Weight Loss God's Way

But my 'real' qualifications are my decades of experience at learning how we humans operate, and the time I've spent working with all the remarkable people I've met." Dr. Frank B. Smoot

Earlier I mentioned that I receive Dr. Frank's newsletters. After reading his material for four months, I feel that this program is a healthy, safe, and effective approach to weight loss and a program that would be right for me. I made the choice to download the “Weight Loss God’s Way” success package, not mainly for the Weight Loss but for Dr. Frank’s no nonsense, enriching and eye opening approach to changing behaviors that will help me in all areas of my life and as an added bonus, healthy, safe, and effective weight loss for I could stand to lose 15-20 lbs. I will be writing about my experiences along the way as I begin to dig in to Dr. Frank’s program. I understand that trying to lose weight around the holidays is not a good idea at all. That would only set me up for sure failure. But as I read the introduction to the program, Dr. Frank does not allow you to discuss food or exercise for the first 3 weeks on the program. “Weight Loss God’s Way” begins with reading, absorbing and understanding some very important ideas to help change behaviors, and that I need. I am not surprised that I could not find links to support what clinical research and the bible have revealed. (60-70% of your success depends on the unseen root cause of any weight problem). So "Weight Loss God's Way" will "stand the test of time" as it quietly creates success stories all across the globe. I would love to hear about your thoughts of this program, your own weight loss stories and also your thoughts about the weight loss industry if you have any. Please feel free to comment below.

I dreamed I had an interview with God.

"So you would like to interview me?" God asked.

"If you have the time" I said.

God smiled. "My time is eternity." "What questions do you have in mind for me?"

"What surprises you most about humankind?"

God answered... "That they get bored with childhood, they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again."

"That they lose their health to make money...and then lose their money to restore their health."

"That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future."

"That they live as if they will never die, and die as though they had never lived."

God's hand took mine and we were silent for a while.

And then I asked..."As a parent, what are some of life's lessons you want your children to learn?'

"To learn they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is let themselves be loved."

"To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others."

"To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness."

"To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them."

"To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most but is one who needs the least."

"To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their feelings."

"To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently."

"To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves."

"Thank you for your time," I said humbly.

"Is there anything else you would like your children to know?"

God smiled and said, "Just know that I am here...always."
