He’s a fascinating man (with a biochemistry background) who used to weigh over 400 pounds, but was able to lose over 220 of that \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and keep it off for more than 10 years now. What’s particularly interesting about this story is that he accomplished this by using a holistic, mind-body approach to sustainable weight loss \u00e2\u20ac\u201c without dieting or suffering! This is not a hoax, this is a true story. Just the picture of his transformation is incredible:<\/p>\n

After he dramatically changed his life, he wrote a book about it and it has now become a best seller in 6 countries, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been translated into 16 languages, and has sold over 350,000 copies. In fact, he is now basically giving away the book through his website<\/a>. You can check out some very favorable reviews of The Gabriel Method<\/em> on Amazon<\/a>. Even critics of the book consider the info contained in it to be very valuable.<\/p>\n His sane, unique and refreshing approach to weight loss is a wonderful tool to use, in an industry that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s all too dependent on gimmicks, unrealistic and restrictive eating plans, not to mention expensive yet useless supplements.<\/p>\n You may be surprised to find out that after all he’s learned on his personal journey, he considers weight gain to be a symptom of a greater underlying disorder<\/strong>, and his approach targets the root cause. Among other things, he discusses the detrimental effects of dieting, nutritional starvation\/famine (lack of essential nutrients), emotional eating and how stress affects the chemical balances in our bodies. Not surprisingly, although he doesn’t have a strict eating plan, he also advocates a whole foods approach to healthy eating, except that this is just one aspect of his method. Unlike almost anyone else, he puts a big emphasis on the mental aspect of losing weight. He uses relaxation and visualization as a way to reprogram the negative internal beliefs we hold on a subconscious level.<\/p>\n While I have not read the book myself, I heard him interviewed on an episode of the Underground Wellness podcast<\/a>, which I highly recommend, if you’re an audio learner like myself.<\/p>\n This is ground-breaking stuff and definitely worth checking out!<\/strong><\/p>\n Contemplate yourself as surrounded by the conditions which you intend to produce. The groundwork of all happiness is health. If you want to look young and thin, hang around old fat people. Greetings to all health-conscious people out there!
