The most recent research suggests that it takes about 30 days of everyday mental training to re-train the brain if you want long lasting and permanent weight loss. By doing a few simple visualization exercises seeing yourself at your perfect weight, you start to recondition your internal image and you begin to erase the old image.
The more you do this the faster you'll see results. The good news is that you cant get a brain hernia if you overdo it.
Positive Affirmations
Another simple technique you can use is a written positive affirmation. For example, declare:
I now weigh xxxx.
My body fat is xxxxx.
I feel and look great
I am at my ideal and perfect weight now
If you repeat reading this and really seeing it on the screen of your mind for at least 30 days, you'll have a far superior chance of keeping to your ideal weight. You can also cut out photos of the body type you like and paste your picture to it and review it as frequently as possible.
The reason for using present tense affirmations is simple. The non-conscious side of your brain does not know the difference between an actual event and a lie or an imagined one and, it also does not understand the future. Once it is conditioned through repetition and real life or imagined experiences, it will immediately make the outside match up with the internal image.
