Become all you can become by raising yourself higher on the Tree of Life

Fat burning body… what is the benefit… how do you do it?

I got this question yesterday: How do I turn my body into a fat burning, fat fueled metabolism?

I’ve done it, and I think most everybody can… but…

Fat people think it means adding something to what they already eat, do, and it’s not how it works.

Burning fat as body fuel is overhauling the whole body… And the moment you go back to the old way of fueling your body, the moment you turn your whole system, again, into sluggish carb burning machine.

In the past 4-5 years I went from 165 lbs to 117 lbs… which is my normal weight. I did it with this method: by being a fat burner machine.

Then I was offered a piece of sour candy on a stick… whatever they are called, and how small it appears to the eyes, the candy was about 10 grams, my body responded with cravings.

And in a week I found myself buying candy… I still ate only one or two a day… But after another week I was four pounds heavier… 100 grams of candy turned into 2000 grams of fat… Ugh.

Returning to becoming fat burner again… I am in the middle of it, is a real art: for the body to change its mind it takes a week or two, before it believes you. So with those extra four pounds I look as a 5 months pregnant female: not pretty. Or maybe I look like an African starving female… distended belly.

This distended belly is called Kwashiorkor. It is a severe form of malnutrition, caused by nutritional deficiency, mainly deficiency in dietary protein. The extreme lack of protein causes an osmotic imbalance in the gastro-intestinal system causing swelling of the gut diagnosed as an edema or retention of water.

Makes no sense, I continued eating the same things… but the body related differently to what I ate… apparently refused to use the protein I ate… hm… curious.

Anyway, I have started to lose some of the four pounds, but my energy hasn’t returned, I am having headaches, mood issues, but the candy ended up in the trash can so it stops seducing me, but I still haven’t returned to be a fat-burner.

So it seems that a fat burner body and a carb burner body are like the body of two different species…

Maybe if you never became fat it’s different… but I have been fat as many times as many times I tried to become slim… And I think: each time I trained my body to want to be fat. 🙁

Imagine changing your car to burn ethanol, aka alcohol for fuel, instead of gas (benzin in Europe, I think).

You cannot just tweak it a little… it is an overhaul.

My body loves burning fat. It allows my organs to do what they do best…

The fourth category of teachability

Quite a few of my students sent me a request to measure whether they are teachable, whether they are coachable.

And that is where I had an insight:

The reason the 67 steps coaching is so effective is this:

People make the changes, the tiny, near invisible changes in what they see, what they do, how they do it, because it is their choice. ¹

What does this mean?

When you make a change because you saw that you needed to, then that change can become permanent. It becomes part of who you are.

Ignorance in health matters is killing you

This is not a gimmick… This old lady can do this and a ton of other stunts…

The question you should ask not how she remained so flexible, because who cares…

Instead: ask a question that is relevant to you:

What is it that you can do to regain some of your flexibility, some of your energy, so you can enjoy life more, feel younger, look younger.

That is exactly what I did. Continue reading “Ignorance in health matters is killing you”

The Wise, the Foolish, and the Evil test

The personality test that tells you if you can grow, and if you can benefit from working with me.

I have been at my wits’ end for years now.

Today I found out what was missing…

Remember the wise saying: when something is not working, there is something you don’t know.

More often than not, what you don’t know is a distinction… and it was definitely true in my case.

I have been making the mistake of coaching and dealing with my people as if they were me… like me… similar to me.

On fools and wise people… the fool never learns…

“It is more important to know where you are going than to get there quickly. Do not mistake activity for achievement.”

I am old. And pretty much alone in the world. Not lonely. Alone.

How I do is entirely up to me. No support system, no cushion, flying without a net.

The notion has different effect on people. The effect is on their actions… or more precisely, on the attitude with which they take the actions.

Most people become cautious. Cautious means you divide your attention, you divide your power to do the action, and to look around. Ineffectiveness.

Never practice surgery on your family and other lessons

Developing the habit of looking before you leap

You have habits, thought patterns, beliefs, practices that guarantee that your life will not change, especially won’t change for the better.

When you do a course, read a book, or talk to a coach, you want to do and change the most important thing about your life: drop 30 pounds, start a new business, or leave your husband. Continue reading “Never practice surgery on your family and other lessons”

Awareness… it’s seeing what you are looking at. Accurately

I have been in this inquiry since February when I first heard Tai say: the strongest predictor of your success, in any area of life, is the level of your awareness.

So what is this awareness that is so important.

Nine months… it’s taken me till today to get complete clarity of what this ‘thing’ awareness is.

Six million Jews perished in the gas chambers and mass graves during the holocaust, because they were not aware.

Tens of millions of people were ashamed of themselves and their association with Germany, people who elected Hitler and the Nazi party… because they were not aware.

How to grow from where you are begins with…

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

I’ve been quiet.

I am working through some stuff… nothing personal, it’s about you. It’s about what to teach you. How to teach you. It’s about seeing, in more detail, and more precisely what is the truth about you, so I can talk to you the way you can hear me.

The more precisely I can ‘diagnose’ what is the situation with you, the more effective my message and my teaching can be.

But, it seems no matter how precise my teaching, it is not really up to me, or my teaching, what will happen to you or your life.

It is up to you. Your actions, your attitude, your ‘undeclared commitment’ in life. Continue reading “How to grow from where you are begins with…”

Anchor your existence and start becoming a person

We all want to be a person… but none of us know how to do it.

This article is a method that can help you becoming a person…

In this article I use an analogy with plants… but this article is not about plants, it is about you having deep roots so you have a core, and when you say I, you know that you are talking about those deep roots…

I have run out of good shows to watch on Netflix.

I began to watch and abandoned four shows, fast.

And I just had an insight:

Most TV/Netflix customers are like most people: they have no foundation from which to watch, see, read anything.

Even when it’s a well designed, well executed show: these people don’t know why. Or the reason it is good for them is different from person to person.

For me a good show is a show well planned out. A show that decides, ahead of time, what it thrives to accomplish. That is the context inside which they develop the characters, the story line, and direct the actors to act in. Continue reading “Anchor your existence and start becoming a person”

How I use ego to get over myself…

I expect you to hate me from time to time. It is part of the process.

Some people come around at some point. Some sooner than others.

The ones that come around tell me that after a while they actually could see what I pointed out. I respect them for that.

Ever since I embraced being stupid, integrated it into my personality, stupid became a phase rather than a conclusion.

What do I mean? Listen up, this is important! Continue reading “How I use ego to get over myself…”
