There’s nothing wrong with you! That’s true even if a particular diet did work for everyone else you know, but did NOT work for you.

By Dr. Thomas Polucki

Also try not to get fooled by the latest diet fad…because any diet only has about a 40 percent chance of working for you, at all.

That’s due to the fact that we all have slightly different nutritional needs.

And we all manage our stress differently too.

So this fact makes it nearly impossible for a one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition – even though that’s exactly what most diets promote.

The next diet fad could cause you a metabolic toxic meltdown, making ideal weight achievement nearly impossible.

And sustained healthy body fat ratio rarely comes from
risky diets, dangerous drugs, surgery or extreme exercise.

Not so long ago I was 40 pounds overweight AND physically, mentally and emotionally miserable.

I tried low-carb, NO-carb, 1000 calorie, Mediterranean, Paleo… and I worked out, HARD at least an hour EVERY day.

So it worked… TEMPORARILY!

Because every time I went off plan, belly fat grew and no matter what…I was rarely happy.

Sound familiar? Or depressing? Because it is. Literally.

I discovered what most weight loss plans fail to mention: Fat effects brain chemistry and hormones,
which affects thoughts, emotions, energy and more…

And fast changes in body composition cause a strong rebound effect in these powerful chemicals.

But there is a way to hack the system. Unfortunately it doesn’t come in a pill… YET.

So I adopted a daily discipline:

• Morning walk with my pets, focusing on gratitude.
• Martial Arts breathing exercises.
• 30 minutes of intense exercise.
• Paying attention to how I feel an hour after I eat something
  and then discarding any food, no matter how strong the craving,
  that did not produce:

1. mental clarity
2. emotional stability
3. physical energy

And this daily discipline, with the help of a few supplements, has maintained nearly
ideal body composition for the past five years, regardless of stress levels.

But it did not start out that way.

I had to initially detoxify and get my stress hormones balanced. Turns out dieting is really REALLY bad for you.

So when you are ready to get off the weight loss roller coaster and stop looking for a magic pill… Call me. We need to talk
