The Gabriel Method is known as the revolutionary ‘diet-free’ way to lose weight. Written by the once obese but now slim and toned Jon Gabriel, this book is unique in that it isn’t focused on a diet or exercise plan. Instead, its focus is on getting your body to ‘want’ to be thin.
This sounds strange, but it can actually happen. The body has what he calls ‘fat programs’; physiological and metabolic changes that cause the body to store fat and prevent it’s loss from the body, in an effort to protect it from a perceived threat of some kind. Just like these programs can be turned on, they can also be turned off, allowing the body to naturally lean towards a state of being slim.
The book goes into detail about how our beliefs and perceptions in daily life can actually result in weight gain, because of these fat programs being turned on. Jon’s background in biochemistry, along with his personal experience, adds credibility to this program.
I must admit, I was skeptical when I first heard about this book, but once I read the first few pages I knew that he was talking about something I know well – the effect of your mindset on your body, and in this case, on your body shape.
Jon discusses how you can change your mindset to turn these fat programs off, and how to allow your body to crave healthy foods and exercise. The book also includes a visualisation CD which is an integral part of the program.
If weight loss is important to you, I can recommend reading through this book and taking on board his suggestions, along with following your healthy way of eating, and the other steps in the Power over PCOS book.
