Powerful to Lose Weight

Powerful to lose weight and a natural and absolutely chemical free weight loss help is the visualization tool Mind Movies. Mind Movies is a digital vision board in form of a video. You make the video yourself with the software of mind movies. It is as easy as click, paste and drop. With the mind movies software you get everything you need to make outstanding videos.

What is it about to lose weight with the help of a movie?
You have first to understand that whatever you want to change in your life, so also your figure and dress size, you need to change your mind set. You have to be able to imagine yourself be slender and see yourself in all situations of life being slender. No matter how long you are overweight, your mind gets used to it.

When you start with a weight loss diet, you at first lose weight quickly and then you come to a halt. Staying on a weight loss diet, you have to have a strong willpower. There are very few people who have such a strong willpower to stay on a diet long enough and not make excuses. Most people do not stay on a weight loss diet long enough. During the days or weeks of dieting the metabolism slows down. When you then eat more as during the diet, you put back on the already lost weight. Forget about your willpower! Your subconsciousness is stronger.

What does it mean to get your mind set to be able to see yourself thin?
Your conscious mind is responsible for willpower. If your subconscious mind sees yourself overweight, it will do everything that you stay overweight. The subconscious mind will literally force you to go to the fridge and eat something you should not eat. As long as your subconscious mind is not in line with your consciously set goals, you will hardly succeed.

How to change your mind set in order to easily lose weight?
Now come mind movies into the game. Mind movies are a new technology to help you to visualize. The results of watching mind movies are incredible. You should know that the subconscious mind understands images best. To make a mind movie you choose images that represent your next goal. You then choose or write your own affirmations which are going with the goal. At the end music, which you choose yourself, is added.

A Mind movie is very personal, as a vision board is, which you hang on the wall, somewhere where you often see it. Your mind movie you have run on the screen of your PC. You can choose the subliminal technology, which gives you the possibility to control the transparency. You watch your mind movies twice a day with the transparency very low. During the time you work on your PC you put the transparency high, so that you barely see your mind movie. Your subconscious mind sees it well and will be re-programmed.

Ryan Higgins, who had the idea of Mind Movies, says that at first it took him several months to manifest a goal. With the time the realization of each set goal was faster and faster. Now it takes him days or weeks at maximum to manifest a goal.

What Mind Movies does to lose weight
As soon as your subconscious mind is in line with your wish to lose weight, it will help you to reach this goal as quickly as possible. It will suddenly be easy for you to stick with a diet. You will be very surprised.

In the Mind Mastery Video Series of Mind Movies you are explained how visualization works, how the new technology of Mind Movies makes it easy to make your own mind movie. In one of the videos of the mind mastery video series you are explained how to prepare to make your own mind movie and you are shown the steps of making a mind movie.

What is RAW FOOD?

A food is raw when it is uncooked and unprocessed.

What is a process? A process is everything done to something, which changes it in any way. I have a PhD in Technology combined with Economics. I could fill books about processes and there are quite a few books written about it. But you do not need to go that far to understand what a process is. Let us stay with food.

Let us look at a raw food, an apple, a carrot, meat.
Processes which change raw food are cutting, beating, freezing, drying, using heat, using machines.

Imagine a fresh apple. It is picked from a tree, put into a box, the box is put onto a vehicle, which brings the boxes to a warehouse. The boxes are reloaded on a truck which goes to an airport, to a ship or to the warehouse of a large company with a chain of grocery stores. The boxes are again reloaded and another truck brings the boxes with the apples to a store, were it is set into a shelf, from where we take it and bring it home. The length of the transportation matters as the raw food loses on nutrients with the time, but the food is still raw.

You come home from the grocery store with apples, carrots, tomatoes, green salad and meat. You could bite into the apple and the carrot, which is best. When you cut the apple, you still see that it is an apple. With the process of cutting, the least damage is done to a raw food. It does not lose more of what it offers as what is lost with time.

I am not going further than cutting (and sometimes beating an egg), when I prepare food. I make exceptions: I do eat dried fruit, but know that it is not raw. It is dried. I eat chocolate. Chocolate is a highly processed food. Raw are the cocoa beans. Until they become chocolate, quite a few procedures are done to it. = There is no such thing as raw chocolate. It does not exist, even when you read it somewhere!

There are stores who call themselves: Raw Food Store, but to 90% they offer processed and packaged food.

- When you read on a package, that it is Raw Something, must not mean that it is raw. –
Words are strong, yes, but a word does not make a processed food be raw.

There are people who buy fresh, raw food, bring it home and process it. It then is not living raw food anymore. It is uncooked, but processed.

One processed food is a Smoothie. Making a smoothie you make quite some damage on a raw food and besides: It is not really anymore RAW FOOD. You put one or several raw foods into a juicer, all which is not fluid ends in an extra box and is thrown away. It is fibre which is so very important for digesting and the metabolism. It has no calories; it just goes through the body. But together with the fibre part of the vitamins and other nutrients go into the box with what is thrown away.
Juicing is a process. After juicing a raw food is not raw anymore, it is juiced. Juicing is a process and raw food is unprocessed.

Recently the industry has found a new market with which they make money “and jobs” and support the economy. They offer dehydrators. And there are people who buy that stuff.
Dehydrating is a process and this process is not easy to a food.

A human being consists to a minimum of 80% of water. When we lose some of it we die. We are then dead. I have to write it in that simple way as there are people who dehydrate food and believe that it still is raw. Okay, a human being would be dead. He does not even have to lose all it’s water to die. What would you call a food which is dehydrated?

Water is so very important. Most of raw food consists of a lot of water and water has zero calories. Take advantage of it. Eat all of a raw food. It offers you what you need to live: Important nutrients and water.

When you process your food, you are not really a raw food eater. Start eating more and more living raw food. You will be surprised how wonderful you feel and you will feel better and better.

Floating Snowballs

Ingredients: 1 egg yolk for 2 servings, 1-2 teaspoon/s of sugar per egg, 25 ml of champagne or white wine or port (or any sweet wine) or fruit juice

.
Preparation: Beat the egg yolk and the sugar until creamy, then add champagne dropwise.

The beating of the egg yolk is usually done over a hot water-bath, which makes the egg yolk cream firmer. Making this dish purely raw works out fine and the preparation is quicker.

Salad of Tomato, cucumber and Zucchini


Salad of Tomato, Cucumber and Zucchini

Ingredients: Tomatoes, cucumber, zucchini, onions, peppers in different colors, fresh herbs (cilantro or parsley or any other). Spices: Salt, pepper and whatever spices you want to add. Marinade: Extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon or lime juice.
Preparation: Slice or cut ingredients in a size as you wish, arrange on a plate, top it with the marinade.

A mixed salad can be a starter, a side dish or a full meal. Choose several vegetables and top it with spices, herbs, and a marinade.

To eat foods raw is so easy. You actually do not need any recipes. You buy raw foods which you enjoy to eat, cut it into bite size pieces, arrange it on a plate or put into a bowl, top it with spices and herbs, and eat. There is no fussing around as with cooked food. You do not have to look up recipes. Nothing can go wrong as with cooked food. Nothing can get burned. Nothing can get cold, if you do not quickly eat. There is no smell as with cooked food, there is only the smell of freshness. You save a lot of time as you do not have to wait until a dish is cooked. You do not loose valuable nutrients, which happens during the cooking process.
It does take some time to get used to raw food, but as soon as you are used to it, you start to dislike cooked food and you will enjoy fresh, raw food.

Protein And Carbohydrates


All major elements of food, protein, carbohydrates and fat are important for our wellbeing. Most foods contain protein and carbohydrates. Many foods do not contain any fat and some are high in fat. Fat is important. We need fat and if you want to lose weight and body fat you need to get enough fat as your body would otherwise hold on to your body fat. With enough I mean as much as your body needs, but not way too much. But this article is about protein and carbohydrates. There are protein rich and carbohydrate rich foods.

Eating a lot of protein makes you lose weight quicker, but to be low on carbs can be life threatening. Protein rich foods have a little content of nutrients. Nutrients are important for all our life functions. To eat enough protein and get enough good carbohydrates (rich on carbo and nutrients are fruits are vegetables) is the best choice.

I advice that you look up the nutritive value of foods you eat for a few days, that you get a feeling about which foods are rich in protein or which are rich in carbo.
 


I advice that you read articles from different sources as there are different points of view about certain carbohydrate rich food and make your own point of view. My point of view might be wrong or it might be right for me and wrong for you.
Do not get stuck on one view which you read sometimes somewhere. Even not when you read that it was scientifically proven. Constantly new research is done, which makes the old knowledge false. This is what research is about and more so “life”. There is only one thing which is and will always be right: Everything changes constantly.

It is now 12 years that I do not eat grain products (e.g. breads, pasta, pizza, pastry). I not only am slim, but also doing very fine. I have learned (at school) that grains are eaten by birds, who can digest that stuff. We humans can’t fully digest grains. Grains have to be milled into powder that we can eat them. What is not digested stays in the body. Together with fat it clogs arteries and the result is a heart attack.

Read about Carbohydrates:
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/what-should-you-eat/carbohydrates/
and look for more resources.

Our body needs the energy from carbohydrates to fully function, especially our brain. Our body converts carbo into glucose, which is used to fuel our cells. There are simple carbohydrastes which consist of 1 or 2 sugar units, complex carbohydrates consist of many sugar units (rice, bread, pasta, vegetables.) The third kind of carbs is fibre.

Eating too much of simple carbs (e.g. crystal sugar, syrup, molasses, honey) cause surges in blood sugar levels, which increases insulin release, which increases appetite without the need of nutritional energy = reason of weight gain. Most soft drinks contain a lot of simple sugars but no valuable nutrients. Skip those and drink water! Fruits also contain simple carbs but also valuable vitamins, minerals, fiber, and water. Milk products contain simple carbs and protein.
Vegetables and legumes contain simple and complex carbs and are rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber and water.

We have to eat carbohydrates. And if one does not eat grain products there are other carbohydrate rich foods, which are absolutely healthy, quickly digested and, most importantly, they are nutrient rich.

Also when it comes to protein you find different points of view. Why are we not sitting side by side with some apes on the branch of a tree? It is believed that the change happened when some apes began to eat more animal protein. Apes are still running behind spiders and other tiny animals, and they love to eat ants. They instinctively know that they need animal protein. What would happen to them, would they be fed a steak and a couple of eggs each day? The outcome would be interesting. Even more so when this experiment would be continued continued for several generations.

Let’s get back to the human race. We became hunters and ate a lot of good animal protein. We do not live on trees anymore and also not in a cave. We live in large towns, have cars and an enormous offer of different foods, whereby “not all should are right for human consumption” (meaning some of the overly processed foods which actually are dead matter with no nutritional value, except having calories).

Read about protein especially about the important functions of protein:
 
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/what-should-you-eat/protein/index.html

Protein does not make us want to eat more and more and more, which is the case with carbohydrates rich in sugars (simple and or complex). There are people who can empty an extra large bag filled with calorie rich cookies and after the bag is empty they might go get another one. How many steaks can one eat? Not so many. The reason: Protein satiates.

Eat a variety of fruits, and vegetables, combine it with high quality meats, fish, eggs, cheese made of raw milk and nuts.
