Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Hello! Off topic, but related to weight issues, I personally have kept off approximately 75 pounds for 9 years(yes, NO weight gain in 9 years)with low-carb plus NATURAL food. As in organic, no pesticides. I'd rather eat the bugs than the chemicals, LOL. I've been doing low carb longer than anyone I know, and it works. I used to be a size 20 and I now wear a 6 and that doesn't fluctuate. If I had had EFT back then, I would certainly have tapped on those cravings I used to get for noodles and sugary food, would have been much easier. Weird thing is, I look about 10 years younger than my age, comes up all the time, people just think I'm ALOT younger, it actually startles them like they are seeing some kind of wonder. I think it's because I haven't had sugar for years. So, if you eat that junk and crave it, I'd tap on the cravings and also, I think those foods actually contribute to PR on a cellular level, and also that they affect the brain and DNA. I have other ideas on why we are being fed this garbage and those ideas are very politically incorrect, but for now, I really believe that these foods contain " reversed " energy. And fast food, and boxed food, artificial flavoring, coloring, preservatives-ditto. Just my opinion for whatever it is worth, but there seems to be a connection between these foods and energy patterns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 > Boost Your Metabolism With EFT > - by Gwenn Bonnell > =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= > > Did you catch the Oprah show yesterday? Wynonna Judd was > featured, bravely going public about her lifetime battle > with weight… (Explanation of tapping procedure and why increased metabolism boosts willingness to exercise, etc. follows) Dear Gwenn, I have tried this and it works! Got it off emofree site, I think. Dropped it out and had not been using so thanks for the reminder and the great explanation of the cause effect relationship between metabolism and willingness to exercise with Wynonna Judd. Some things I have noticed are: Less eating; more stamina if I go a long time without eating (no blood sugar crashing?); lots more exercising - easily, without pushing myself, etc. I think I have dropped about about an inch in the waist. I do a lot of other techniques for weight so I cannot be sure exactly what one particular thing is doing but after I read your message, I did the procedure and have had a couple of days with lots of exercise, etc. I remember similar effects from before. A question I have for you and anyone else: I also substitute in this protocol for " Metabolism " and put in instead " Immune System " , or " Intuition " , or " Writing Inspiration " , plus some others. I have not noticed as much of a result with the others. I don't do them all at once but pick one, do the procedure and then later do a " round " with some other item. Any thoughts?

One law of the universe is that we get what we resist. I, for one, have been told since I was young that sugar is bad for me. I try to resist eating too much of it and yet it is what I want and I fight with myself about eating it. I just wonder and am going to experiment with this of tapping on " even though sugar is bad for me .. even though I shouldn't eat too much sugar .. even though sugar makes me sick ... as well as with all the foods that are considered " bad " and " evil " - if this could make a difference.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Well, please post your results with that. Thanks to my beliefs, I have no food or weightloss issues to work on now that I have kept off over 75 pounds for almost 10 years. And I AM proud! I was a seriously fat woman and society is not all that nice to fat people, whether that is good or bad I avoid the debate. As one who experienced the way people generally regarded me when I was fat, I have that right. I have other issues to work on, and, I suspect I will be working on something or other forever...EFT is just too much darn fun and I can imagine tapping one day because the only thing left will be my regret at leaving this wonderful world to go on to the next wonderful world. I know nothing of good and evil, truly, I'm just going along on a journey and choosing " a " path, not " the " path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I'd say a " law " is a pretty strongly held belief? LOL. I think of it as, " We get what we put our attention on. " Putting your attention on what you do not want, will tend to draw that exact thing toward you. > I, for one, have been told since I was young that sugar is bad > for me. First, think about that for a minute. The human body is hardwired to desire sweet - it provides us with Vitamin C amongst other things - it is something healthy and necessary for our survival. Simply telling a child that " sugar is bad for you " is not very accurate. Perhaps a better thing would be to imply that white sugar (i.e. processed sugars) are not the best choice. What I'm getting at is that just because you were told something as a child, does not make that true for you today. Many people say sugar is bad for you, and I like to think they mean that white sugar and all it's variations is not the healthiest thing, but it's not inheriently bad or good. Food just is. > I try to resist eating too much of it and yet it is what I want > and I fight with myself about eating it. This brings us back to the idea that what you put your attention on, is what you desire. Trying to resist something is like trying not to think of that purple elephant. It is impossible to tell yourself you will not think of something - the first thing that happens is your brain keeps checking to see whether it's been thinking of it, and voila, you're thinking of it. Better to substitute something else. Instead of trying not to think of one thing, choose something else to think about. Perhaps have a piece of fruit (that's my choice anyway). Fruit is delicious, naturally sun kissed sweet and wonderful, and chock-o-block full of nutrients and fiber which your body needs (and wants). You may crave fruit but think you are craving ice cream. > I just wonder and am going to experiment with this of tapping > on " even though sugar is bad for me .. Perhaps change slightly to " Even though I believe sugar is bad for me, " or " Even though I was told sugar is bad for me. " > as well as with all the foods that are considered " bad " > and " evil " - if this could make a difference. Foods can't be evil, can they? They just sit there on the plate, minding their own business. You decide whether to pop them in your mouth. ;-) Certainly it can make a difference, and no matter what you use for your EFT statements, it will be helpful, IMO. Keep a log book of your EFT sessions - Write out the basic theme, such as " Sugar is Bad " and your starting SUD level. During the round write down the shortened theme (bad), and then at the end your ending SUD level. See what happens. Perhaps the words you use will change? Perhaps you'll think of something as you are tapping, an idea perhaps, a new belief forming perhaps? Keep these in mind, and jot notes for future sessions. You'll get clues when you do the sessions, and those clues may lead you to other areas to explore with EFT. It's a way of being in the flow of the EFT. This helps you to see how these things can change and evolve as your new, more empowering beliefs begin to take shape.
