The Golden Rules To Losing Weight
Published by Diet Trials January 11th, 2006 in Losing weight, Golden RulesSo far from the first week we have learnt that there are 4 simple Golden Rules to becoming thin. They all seem very achievable and almost common sense… to the point of why didn’t I think of that and get paid millions for writing a book about them.
Rule 1
Eat When You’re Hungry
Well surely that is obvious, until it is actually explained to you that often we don’t listen to our bodies and perhaps eat when we are not really hungry or get to the point where we are starving before we eat. He used a very interesting scale to show what the levels of hunger and fullness are, and I am normally at the top or bottom of the scale, either starving or stuffed.
So easy start there… if you are hungry then eat.
Rule 2
Eat what you want, not what you think your should have
Great… initial thought was pizza’s, chocolate and lots of lovely fresh bread.
As this rule was explained it was so true what Paul McKenna was saying that there should be no forbidden foods and it will only cause you to want them more. Apparently your body will choose what it wants to eat and won’t just make you eat junk food all of the time. We’ll see!
Rule 3
Eat Consciously – Enjoy Each Mouthful
This was demonstrated by the studio audience with a knife and fork, or an imaginary one if you were like me sat at home and too lazy to get off the sofa to get one.
So this rule is to make you enjoy your food rather than just shoveling it in. Making you smell, taste, chew, savour and enjoy each mouthful of food. The benefit of “resting” between mouthfuls is to allow your body to accept the food and give enough time for the stomach to send a signal to your brain to say that you have had enough.
Rule 4
Stop When You Think You’re Full
This rule kind of carries of from Rule 3. Since you are giving your brain more time to recognise when you are full then you must stop eating when you start to get this full feeling. Always try to leave some food on your plate, never finish it off it you are feeling full as you will end up feeling bloated.

I am very thin, but my mom hs a weight problem she’s not been able to overcome for decades. Reading your rules I realize those are exactly the things I naturally do when eating. I absolutely love you and your show, hope it finally helps my mom not to be thin, but happier!
Yesterday night I’d watched for the very first time the “PAUL MCKENNA I WILL MAKE YOU THIN” show on TV.I live in San Juan, a small city in Argentina next to the Andes. All the things tha he said in the programme were pretty motivating for/to me, so I ‘ve decided I will use those tips from now on. Of course, the TVshow that I saw yesterday was an old one but it was quite interesting anyway. Is there any way to see the TV show on line??? Thanks and you will be hearing from me soon, hope much more thinner!!!
I hope you could understand everything I ment (sorry for my English)!!!!!
