THE WEIGHT IS OVER
I’ve written quite a few words, explained many principles, and reviewed scientific studies. Now there’s only more thing to say. Actually, I’ve already said it but I’ll repeat myself, for it is the single most important part of this or any other program: You can do it! As Ralph Waldo Emerson noted, we are what we think all day long. If we think of ourselves as being slim and healthy, easily able to follow the Fat Blocker Program, then we are well on our way toward accomplishing our goals.
But, of course, Emerson didn’t mean that we could accomplish the impossible. To fly, you need an airplane. Believing otherwise is delusional madness. And to lose weight and keep it off permanently, the equivalent of the airplane is Chitosan. With the means to succeed and the belief in ourselves, success is all but assured.
The first step in losing weight and living healthfully is to master the principles of blocking fat and to establish clearly the ultimate goal—that lighthouse beacon I wrote about earlier—by which we should steer. As Yogi Berra said, “If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll end up somewhere else.” So, keep your goals in mind. With your mind’s eye, see yourself as being slim and healthy, confident and relaxed as you enjoy healthful, tasty, low-fat meals that satisfy and please you. Without Chitosan, this might be an unrealistic goal, a fantasy bound to lead to disappointment. But with this product, your dream can be simple reality. You can now afford to walk, talk, act, think, feel, and behave as if you were already successful at losing that undesired weight. You can act on the assumption that you will soon be slim and need never be fat again. And the reason you can act with such assurance is that with Chitosan it is true. Slowly and
steadily, you will lose weight—and keep it off.
You now have the everyday tools for success. Move in the direction of the dietary plans I’ve laid out. If you don’t get all the way there, don’t worry about it. You’ll still lose weight, only more slowly. But you have a long life ahead of you, so whether you lose weight a little faster or slower is really not that important. (You’ll probably live longer now anyhow, so you’ll still have the time to enjoy your slimmed down body.)
To the extent that you (like most of us) cannot stick to the ideal diet, use Chitosan to compensate. And use some extra to help you with occasional splurges. In other words, live an ordinary, sensible life, enjoy your food, balance it as well as you can, eat less than you did before, and keep doing it indefinitely because it is easy and practical to do so. Gradually, but inexorably, your weight will drop to safe and healthy levels. More important, your overall health will improve as you absorb less fat, thus reducing your risk of suffering from the killer diseases such as heart and brain attacks, cancer and diabetes, gallstones, arthritis problems associated with obesity, and other ailments.
Don’t forget to exercise regularly. Once you get into the habit and see how great you feel, you’ll want to exercise. Don’t push too hard; the desire will grow organically, in spite of itself. In fact, as long as you do more exercise than before, you will be all right. Pushing yourself beyond your comfort zone will prove counterproductive. You want to keep exercising. You won’t be able to do that unless you enjoy it. Eventually, exercise will become an important part of your life, not just an adjunct. For it really is important: It can save your life.
Be sure to talk to your doctor about the antioxidants and
other supplements discussed in this book. I have described a minimum amount that I believe is necessary to promote optimal health, to slow the aging process, to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and other problems, and to keep the immune system strong. Your needs may vary, so talk to your nutritionally oriented physician soon.
Remember, always keep your larger goal in sight. It is excellent physical health and a body that is naturally well-proportioned, energetic, and smoothly functional. If you are seriously overweight now—and especially if you have been for quite a while—this may seem farfetched indeed. But don’t worry. As Shakespeare said, “Assume the virtue, if you have it not.” Approach the program with enthusiasm. How can you not feel enthusiastic about a program that, perhaps for the first time in your life, offers you an easier, realistic way to eliminate that excess fat without surgery, without dangerous drugs, and without a diet plan so intense you know going in it won’t work for very long. But if you’re enthusiastic now, just imagine how enthusiastic you’ll be as you find yourself losing weight and gaining health … as you realize that Chitosan really does work as I’ve assured you it will.
