I have heard a little about people thinking their way to lose weight, but I didn’t understand it much. This article was all about how a person could think their way into losing a couple pounds. In one experiment hotel attendants were told how much exercise they were already doing as a part of their job. Without doing any extra exercise or diets over a period of 4 weeks there was a significant change in all of their health measures. On average the weight loss was about a difference of 2 pounds. The article said it was like dropping a bag of sugar. It also claims that it’s the power of the mind-body link that helped lose the pounds.
I’m not sure what I believe when it comes to thinking about losing weight. I guess I don’t see how thinking would help a person lose weight. On the other hand, I do recall days where I just feel huge and other days when I’m comfortable with myself.
This is actually a true thing. Its called mind over matter. Your mind, as i'm sure you have heard before, controls much much more than you know. It is quite remarkable that you can lose that much weight by just thinking it, but it is no way near good enough to stay healthy.
