There are several things that will cause you to lose weight fast.

One of the most effective is DO NOT EAT LATE AT NIGHT. We forget that in our biology we are still cave people and cave people went to bed when it was dark and got up when it when it was light.

That means in the winter they were in bed at 4pm and in the summer they were still in bed by 9pm. Because there was no electricity when it was dark they slept and now we have electricity we actually sleep less and eat more. Because we have electricity we can stay up until 1am, we might have dinner and then we have another snack later.

Your body really digests food very very badly in the evening and what it doesn’t digest it will always store as fat.

If you’re eating more food than you burn off you’re absolutely storing that as fat.

So try to have dinner as early as you can 6pm-7pm and of course that’s not feasible every night but even if you can do that three nights a week you are going to encourage your body to burn off fat.

So try say Monday-Wednesday have dinner really early at 6, 6.30pm and then don’t think at 11pm “I’m hungry now what can I eat?”

There’s no point eating before you go to bed – you’re not going to burn that food off, you’re going to store it as fat. Drink some hot tea or some fluids but eat dinner as early as you can three times a week as that will encourage you to keep weight off.

Secondly when you’re eating AT NIGHT DO NOT EAT CARBS. It takes the body a long, long time to break down carbs. They are a food that the body stores for energy. The body doesn’t take carbs and use them, it stores them for later. That’s why if you have a carbohydrate-heavy breakfast and you’re a manual worker you’ll burn them off.

It’s why runners pasta-load because that pasta is stored for later. If you’re eating carbohydrates late at night, there is no later, they simply get stored as fat.

If you have a dinner of protein and vegetables (and you can have a lot – you can have several pieces of chicken and a lot of green vegetables cooked in oil) you will burn it off.

So having dinner earlier and eating protein and vegetables will start to strip excess fat stores from your body.

Exercise is good too but you don’t have to go to the gym and do an hour and a half of aerobics. SKIPPING FOR TEN MINUTES in your house or rebounding (trampolining) is all good but the most effective thing is early dinner three times a week, preferably three nights in a row.

After lunch just have protein and vegetables. Have enough protein; steak, two portions of fish, two pieces of chicken, lots of green vegetables (as they’re less starch) and just a little bit of exercise and if you do that you’ll absolutely lose weight fast and keep the weight off.

Marisa Peer tells you the facts about Diet Pills:

The Ultimate Breakfast for Cyclists – save money with my home-made version of Kapai Puku

I would recommend this product as it is in line with current medical research showing that modern breakfast cereals are  no more than biscuits and confectionery pretending to be healthy – when the truth is they are no such thing!

Humans are not meant to eat grains. They are neither healthy nor good for us. However, we have now been eating them for so long that we have become accustomed to eating a sweet cold and instant breakfast, and resistant to eating real food like eggs, fish or vegetables that are ideal breakfast food (but which do take time to prepare).

This is where Kapai-puku comes in. Finally, a breakfast cereal that is healthy, mostly based on protein, quick to prepare , totally portable and instant.

I would recommend  this product as it ticks all the boxes and is easy to adapt. Different ingredients can be added, and it can be eaten hot or cold.

I would take it with warm soya , rice or almond milk, add cinnamon and nutmeg in the winter, or stir it into soya yoghurt in the summer.

It’s also great to add it to stewed fruit or eat it with berries or olives as a snack.

The event includes a group hypnotherapy session with Marisa designed to change your relationship with food forever and give you the body you desire.

You will learn how to have a healthy relationship with food and with your body, reach your ideal weight and maintain it without effort at Marisa Peer’s YOU CAN BE THIN event.

Marisa Peer was the therapist in “Supersize vs. Superskinny” and her techniques were the only ones that worked and had lasting success.

She was also the resident hypnotherapist on the ITV hit CELEBRITY FIT CLUB. She has worked with a large number of celebrities, sport stars and even royalty! Now she is giving members of the public a chance to share her unique techniques so that you too can be thin.

Marisa says

“Having been on numerous diets myself and having worked in the fitness and health industry for years. I know diets do not work. Over 95% of people who go on a diet put all the excess weight back on within a year and often some additional weight too. Only 2% of people on diets keep off any weight they have lost. Research shows that 99% of all diets fail and that no one can stay on any diet long term.”

“Today there are more gyms; more exercise videos, more information on diet and exercise than ever before, and yet there are more overweight people than ever before so clearly something isn’t working! Diet and exercise don’t tackle or cure the emotional issues that drive people to overeat.”

Spend a few hours with Marisa and you will find out how to lose weight and keep it off forever without having to diet at all. You will learn ten simple steps that guarantee the weight comes off and stays off. This seminar is different to anything you have ever done before it has a proven track record and an astonishing success rate.

Marisa will be working with the whole audience, changing your mindset, your belief system, your attitude and of course your weight.

“Marisa is a gifted hypnotherapist and her methods work. I first worked with Marisa on Celebrity Fit Club in the UK. Her relaxed and professional approach meant that she struck up an easy rapport with the celebrities and she achieved results fast.

“One year later, I brought her to Los Angeles to film Celebrity Fit Club USA – because we didn’t find anyone in America as good as her. Again, her unique talents brought speedy and impressive results. She is unique in her weight loss programme. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone wanting to achieve easy and sustainable weight loss.”

Dagmar Charlton, Producer ‘Celebrity Fit Club’ UK and USA

Rave Reviews for “You Can Be Thin”

“To date I am now 158lbs less than when I came to your seminar in London last year. I am down from almost 25 stones to  just over 13 stones and down from size 32 clothes with elastic  waistbands to size 14/16 clothes and still dropping a pound or two  each week. I am completely off insulin, off all medication for high  blood pressure and I look and feel so much better , keep those skinny white jeans ready for me!!!!  I cannot thank you enough for giving me  my life back again…how I wish you had been around to help when my  weight problems began 50 years ago!! Thank you again,

“I bought Marisa’s book from Amazon in February and have not looked back. I have always struggled with my weight and although have never been obese i have never been comfortable with my dress size. Now I am a loose size 12 and have shed one & half stones. The amazing thing about this way of life is that it is so easy and no effort is needed once you have read the book and listened to the CD. I went to Marisa’s seminar in March just for more inspiration as I was so thrilled with the book and I was delighted to see Marisa in person. Each step of my life since February has been challenged with new events and things which made me wonder if I could continue to shed the weight and keep it off. I am happy to confirm that parties, holiday, weekends away have all been easily adapted with my new eating style. I can now say that overeating is something that I will never do. I recommend this book to everybody that is amazed at how good I look and cannot thank Marisa enough for showing me a new path which is forever a truly amazing breakthrough.”

Josy

“I have been reading your book and I have to say it has totally changed my thinking. I know that this was your aim but I really cannot believe it works!

I have attended the Paul McKenna weight loss hypnotherapy seminar in the past and read his book, with unfortunately little effect. I was dubious when I bought your book but I thought I would give it a go after seeing a piece about you in ELLE magazine.

Since I read the book ( I haven’t listened to the cd yet!) exactly 4 weeks ago, I have lost 29lbs. I have been extra careful with my eating habits but my overall mindset has altered. Usually when I begin a ‘diet’ I torture myself with thoughts of bad food, sabotaging myself and I have always ended up putting every lb back on, this time it just feels so different. I no longer desire junk food and feel like I am finally, at the age of 24, eating like an adult. When I do eat I don’t beat myself up as I feel as though I am nourishing my body rather than flooding it with toxic food.

Everything you said in the book has helped me, I have finally been able to change my thoughts and eating habits; and for this I am eternally grateful to you. Thank you so much! I am so happy because of you!”

Suzanne

 I had to write to tell you that your seminar on Saturday has already changed my life.  I am now 60 and have spent 45 years putting on and taking off 2 stone, each day has been a constant battle.  I gave up smoking after 45 years on 1st January this year and was comforting myself even more with food. I have never felt so powerful and in control and I feel this in all areas of my life not just eating.”

Moira

“I want to thank you for your amazing seminar last Saturday in Cambridge.  I had read your book and was thus on the path to important changes already. Hearing you speak in person both reinforced your important concepts and also shed new light on misconceptions and frankly ignorant thinking which I have held for years. Anyway, thank you again.  I look forward to your next book and/or lecture series!!”

Juliette

“I came to see you about 6 weeks ago and I have to say you have changed my life!!! I feel so fantastic and I have dropped about a stone in weight so I am half way to achieving my goal! Thank you so much, you are quite amazing!”

Asiye-Lisa Cetin

“I look and feel so much better, not only with the weight loss of over 60 lbs now, but with absolutely no bloating, belching, wind, nausea, heartburn, indigestion etc. etc. Not only that but as a type 2 insulin dependant diabetic, my insulin usage is down from 40 units a day to 20 units and my blood sugars are staying low, so with continued shedding of this weight it will continue to reduce until I firmly expect to be off insulin very soon. I have never felt so well for a long, long time and friends and work colleagues are commenting me by telling me how much better I look and asking if they can have some of what I am on!! I am spreading the gospel according to Marisa and several people have now got the book and cd on my recommendations. I have been overweight for all of my 56 years and do you know what??? I am getting rid of it once and for all.. thanks to Marisa, I WILL BE THIN!”

E Gartside

“I would just like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your seminar.  It has literally changed my life.  In the last 18 years I have worried about my weight.  You have changed my whole mindset about how i look and feel about food.  It no longer rules my life.  I choose to eat healthy foods effortlessly and just as importantly food is not on my mind 24 7.I am an emotional eater (as well as an addictive and destructive eater) and I’m currently trying to deal with a colleague bullying me at work and my mother who suffers from bi-polar disorder -  yet since reading your book  I no longer turn to food as comfort. Words cannot express how grateful I am. I have tried hypnosis sessions before and other cds but your book/cd is truly the only one that has somehow got through to me.I know that the remaining 3- 3 1/2 stone I am letting go of is going to take time but i no longer feel in a rush, I know that eventually I will get there and that it will be done in the healthiest way possible.Thank you so much.

Yours sincerely, Radhika (Rudi) Silvapulle

“Thanks to Marisa this is the first time I’ve felt in control of food and I am 150% confident that I can and will be slim (I’ve already bought jeans in a smaller size!). The book, cd and seminar have changed my life. Just from listening to other people’s stories I know Marisa has worked wonders with many people and I am so looking forward to being another one of her successes.”

Clare

“I attended Marisa’s seminar in London this Saturday and it really re-inforced everything I have learned from the book and CD. It was also brilliant to meet and listen to Marisa. What I find amazing is that after 20 years of dieting, battling, depriving, giving in, forbidden foods, and constant and sudden hunger lows satisfied only by something sugary or carb heavy, finally since starting Marisa’s program something has clicked. I have done it for 2 weeks and it is easy. I am eating like a grown up for the first time in my life. I’m eating more healthily than I have ever eaten, I am choosing to do this so nothing is banned and I don’t feel deprived or resentful. I don’t wake up with a headache anymore – which in hindsight may well have been a sugar hangover from the previous evening. And once I’ve finished eating I don’t think about food for a long long time whereas previously I thought about food and weight several times an hour. I wish I had known about this program years ago. I have dropped 7lb in 2 weeks, and I feel so empowered.

Thank you Marisa, you have changed a very painful relationship with my body and food – I never dreamed that would be possible.”

“I know that without your help and guidance I would never have achieved my weight loss of over 7 stone or been able to maintain it. What you did for me is nothing short of miraculous. I owe you my life thank you.”

Jeff Rudom, Actor

“I’ve never felt so good about myself and it doesn’t even feel as though I’m on a diet.”

Jacqueline Herbert lost 4½ stones

“Marisa’s technique is the most amazing cure.”

Helen McNallen lost 4 stones

“I would not have believed that those few hours would change my body and my life-they did and I feel amazing.”

Dawn Weeks

“I liked the way that you changed the senses. As the saying goes, ‘people hate to be taught but they love to learn!’”

Phil Jesson, Director of Speaker Development, The Academy for Chief Executives

“After being 15 stone for years I now weigh 12 stone 9lbs. I am bl**dy amazed and all I can say is it must be wonderful to be able to motivate people like you can. A BIG THANK YOU, to you for your undoubted skills and I am achieving my target weight of 12stone 4 lbs.”

Alex Lancashire

“I cannot believe that spending just a few hours with you has made such a difference to me already.”

Lisa Barnett

“I was truely inspired by your work, your easy style, the way you mixed facts with language with emotion with hypnosis and how you worked on so many levels – very skilful – and beautifully executed.”

Joanna Jesson Group, Chairman with the Academy for Chief Executives

“I really noticed a difference in my thinking at the supermarket and my trolley was filled with healthy foods. It was great to understand the factors that contribute towards excess weight – without being made to feel “bad” or “guilty” – in such a safe, friendly and fun environment.”

Nikki Denham

“Since your seminar I left most of a chocolate bar I didn’t even like it (A first for me and a success for you) thanks.”

Diane Wheatley

“You covered some of the most important and relevant nutritional issues facing our society and you presented it in such a relaxed and enthusiastic style that I found it completely absorbing. This is very important work and relevant to everyone regardless of age, gender etc (I was really impressed by the 12 year old boy who told you he was going to ‘change the way he eats’ after what he’d learned that day.) I’ll continue to recommend you as the ‘Best in the Business’ for anyone who not only wants to get thin but more importantly, to stay thin. Thanks again Marisa, you’re really helping people to reclaim control of their lives and health.”

Jessica Richards

“Having attended one of Marisa’s latest seminars on weight reduction, I was amazed at the results. The visualization techniques were extremely emotive and the demonstrations certainly put food into perspective. I have seen a major improvement in myself immediately my energy levels are up, and I now approach food in a totally different way. The strategic tools Marisa lays out are absolutely crucial to daily living. I cannot believe I did not have them in place before.”

Barbara Brown

Dear Marisa,
I write very few letters, I often mean to, but life is so busy. I mention this because this letter, by its existence, underlines what a profound effect you have had on me.

You may recall me at your seminar in July, sitting in the corner, intrigued by your deserved reputation but very sceptical. As your seminar progressed I found my attention was 100% and I was impressed by your professionalism, knowledge and skills. I have through my business activities attended many seminars from time management, to self esteem, and from, explosive sales techniques, to N.L.P. Whilst many were interesting subjects, only a few were effective on my modus operandi, but yours is just exceptional. At 14 ½ Stone I did not consider myself fat but it would have been nice to lose a bit as I was only too aware that in my 20′s I had been in the low 12 stone bracket. I have never bothered with my weight, and therefore your seminar and its effect on me is even more profound. A month after your session I had lost around 10 lbs. And after 3 months I had lost 2 STONE. I am so pleased with myself, I am now wearing 32″ waist trousers easily and when I want to feel smug I wear an old pair with 36″ waist which makes me realise what I have achieved thanks entirely to you, and your wonderful skills. Marisa you must spread the word to as many people as possible as we are all living in an increasingly obese world and YOU have the power to turn the tide back, you are an exceptional person. Few are as effective as you and with the modern marketing by big companies of fatty foods and sugar filled, so called, ‘health foods’ you are an exceptional weapon for us poor ‘Joe’s’ out there. This is to say a heart felt THANK YOU for caring about people enough to run your seminars, and I will be inviting you back to hold one for my staff and business suppliers who will also be interested, as many have commented on how well I look. Again thank you, from me, my wife and my 4 children, I will stay healthier, and live longer – thanks to you. Long may you prosper,

My very best wishes

Alex CEO

Actually it’s really easy to have a healthy diet plan. The way to do it is to only eat the food that nature provided for you.

If you eat the food that nature put on the planet for you, your body will use it, recognise it, burn it off, and you will never have a problem with weight. You won’t have to count calories, you’ll never have to weigh food.

What you have to do is what I call the “Four R’s”.

Whenever you’re shopping in a supermarket, ordering in a restaurant, or about to make dinner or eat dinner, you ask yourself these same things.

• Does this food Roam or grow on the planet?
• Can I Recognise this food?
• Can I eat it Raw?
• Does it Rot?

So if you were to take eggs or fish or fruit or berries, or anything like that, the first question is, “Does it roam or grow?” Yes! Fish and eggs are the product of something that roams around the planet. Fruit and nuts and seeds grow on trees.

Can you recognise what’s in them? Absolutely. Do they rot? Most definitely. Can you eat them raw? Of course. You might not want to, but you could actually eat raw eggs and fish.

If you were to look at a donut or a muffin…

• That doesn’t roam or grow on the planet.
• You actually can’t eat the ingredients of a muffin or a donut raw.
• Those things never rot (you can actually keep them for fifteen years! I have pictures on my website of fifteen-year-old cakes and biscuits).
• And you could never ever list the ingredients. In fact, the ingredients in manufactured food sound like a science manual.

So, if you ask yourself those “Four R’s” you’ll always be on the right track, and you’ll find it very very easy to eat.

In order to make your body a fat-burning machine and in order to have healthy diet, you also need to look at fat-burning properties.

Protein contains something called “Peptide YY” that keeps your body in fat-burning mode.

If you went home and ate half a chicken and half a cabbage cooked in oil, it’s a lot of food, but your body will use it all, it will burn it off, even without any activity.

When you eat protein, you’re always burning fat, which is why bodybuilders only eat protein before a competition.

When you eat starch and sugar, the minute you eat that your blood sugar levels go up, and your body says, “Store that for later.”

So if you have cereal or toast for breakfast, your body will store that for later. Maybe a biscuit mid-morning, your body goes, “Store that for later.” A sandwich for lunch, that’s starch, it’s sugar, “Store it for later.” Another biscuit in the afternoon. Pasta or rice for dinner. And maybe a cracker before you go to bed.

That’s seven times you’ve said to your body, “Store that for later.” And unfortunately later never ever comes. You never ever get to burn that off.

The only way you can eat starch is if you’re doing a lot of exercise, in which case you will burn it off.

So:

• Ask yourself the “Four R’s”
• Eat real food
• Always ask yourself, “Is my body going to use this or store this? Is this fat-burning or fat-storing? Where is the protein?”

Recognise Starch as Sugar

All starch is nothing more than cake or biscuits. And when you eat that food, even though it’s low-calorie food, because it doesn’t break down, your body makes internal fat to wrap it in, it’s what’s called “skinny fat.”

You can have a lot of internal fat on a low-calorie diet, because you’re eating food that your body doesn’t recognise, doesn’t break down, and can’t use.

So healthy diet plans that work are real food that your great-grandparents ate, and if you do that you’ll be fine.

According to recent scientific research, spotting a must-have pair of wedges sets women’s pulses racing more than experiencing love at first sight – especially if the shoes in question are at a bargain price.

A number of results confounded expectations, such as women preferring£150 off a washing machine to the Hollywood heart throb Ryan Gosling.

And one female participant’s heartbeat reached 187 beats a minute when looking at a deal to save 85p on shower gel – a higher reading than riding a roller coaster.

Stephanie Leese, 22 from Manchester should know this feeling well, she’s one of those girls.

Here she tells us why she gets more of a buzz bagging a bargain than bagging a bloke

Stephanie says:

‘My last relationship ended almost two years ago, but during the years I’ve been single since I haven’t felt as if I’m missing out.

For instead of finding comfort in the arms of my boyfriend at weekends, I now find comfort hanging out on the high street, hunting for bargains.

I was with my partner for two and a half years. And when we broke up in April 2010, when I was age 20, I suddenly found myself spending a lot more money.

Jeans, tops, boots, jewellery, mobile phones…

I work as a fitness instructor in a gym, and while the money is decent, it’s not enough to allow me to splash out every month. I had little left over after paying the rent on the flat I live in with my best friend.

So I opened a credit card with a £500 limit. When I maxed that out, I opened another with a £1000 limit.

Armed with my plastic friend, I’d hit the high-street.

The buzz I felt afterwards was amazing, and much better than anything my ex-boyfriend offered me.

Buying a new dress, then carrying it home in a fancy bag and trying it on in my bedroom mirror made me feel on top of the world.

There was something about spending cash that did to me what no man easily could – made me feel good about myself.

Especially if I found an excellent deal. Then the rush was even better than a lad paying me empty compliments.

Eighteen months ago I became addicted to buying deals online using websites such as Groupon. I’d splash out on offers such as a £10 for£30 worth of food in a restaurant, or sessions of laser liposuction for £80.

My favourite purchase was a half head of hair extensions for £99, with a saving of 50 per cent.

‘This is more fun than dating,’ I’d tell myself, excitedly scouring my latest bargain buys.

Even the supermarket offers aisle gets me going. I keep my eyes peeled for yellow ‘reduced’ stickers when I’m buying groceries.

Often I find loaves of bread for only 19p, and come away from the checkout feeling on top of the world.

On my 21st birthday I didn’t have a hunky man to wake up to in the morning, or to take me out to lunch. But I didn’t care.

That wouldn’t have got my heart beating as fast as handing over the cash for the beautiful gold ruched dress I bought that day instead.

I felt like a million dollars wearing it to my birthday party that evening.

The downside to preferring shopping over men is that while love doesn’t cost a thing, stuff does.

I used to be a sucker for store cards which promise a discount on your first purchase. I convinced myself that I would pay off the balance within the first four weeks but I never did.

A month after my birthday I needed a new laptop so I bought one from a high-end department store using their store card. It cost me £700 when in fact I could have bought it elsewhere for a lot less.

But that didn’t deter me.

Over the past two years I’ve opened seven store cards in total as well as my two credit cards.

When the interest started stacking up, I paid off my store cards using my credit card.

Eventually I stopped being able to meet the minimum payments.

The ‘high’ I feel after a spree has now landed me in a lot of debt – almost £8000 in less than two years.

Three months ago, unafraid to open bills or even check my bank balance, I admitted to myself that my spending was out of control.

I had to borrow some cash from my family, and stop paying with plastic so often.

I’ve realised that my body’s reaction to splurging is the same –or even better – than the heady high I feel when in the first throes of a relationship.

Which is why I’m more in love with shopping than a man right now.

Marisa’s Comments

Stephanie buys herself stuff to get a high, but because the high is so temporary she buys even more stuff and as a consequence she is now in debt.

The pleasure centre in the brain only needs one source of pleasure, so when her relationship ended she switched to shopping and is now stuck in a vicious circle of shopping for pleasure. But not confronting the fact that the debt will cause her pain.

She feels a sense of achievement when she gets a bargain and feels pleased with herself as if she has accomplished something, and she is able to equate this with getting a compliment from a boy.

Stephanie says that when she buys lovely things, brings them home and puts them on she feels good about herself and believes that this feeling is better than anything  a man has to offer, When we are in love and getting lots of compliments we feel that we are enough. When we buy lots of stuff and shop till we drop we also feel that we are enough. Shopping is filling a void.

Stephanie needs to say to herself ‘I am enough I don’t need to buy lots of stuff,’ and then the need to splurge will go away. Stephanie also needs to look at all the jeans, bags and dresses bought in the last 2 years and recognise that, if they really made her feel good, she would not need to keep buying more. They only make her feel good momentarily – and that is not the same.

All our pleasure in life comes from being with others so I advise her to have a car boot sale and raise some money to pay off her debts then get back into dating. When she feels real love and affection she will remember that you can’t find that in clothes they can’t comfort you, keep you warm or give you a cuddle on a bad day and they all get dated and quickly out of fashion. When she knows she is enough she won’t need to shop and will be far more attractive to men.
