Turned on the TV this morning and the breakfast host is extolling a vegetable soup recipe.
Apparently people have been desperately wanting to know more about this recipe that claims to help people lose weight between Christmas and New Year.
Yuk!
I have no problem with soup. I have a problem with the TV program promoting a yo-yo [...]
Most people are convinced that changing WHAT you eat is the best option for losing weight.
For these people, the question is WHICH method to use? Should it be low-carbohydrate, low-fat, high-protein, low G-I, low sugar, grapefruit-only, etc etc etc. Aargh!
How can you really select the best one for you?
Well finally I have something to recommend [...]

This a quote from a subheading in one of my favorite books of all time, “The Peter Principle“.
But in fact this approach has a long and rich history.
I am just about to head overseas on a 2 month trip with my wife and 3 small kids – and leave my counselling practice unattended for all [...]

Back in 1998 I was reading the material of a medical organisation called MaLAM, which monitors and lobbies pharmaceutical companies on their advertising.
Always a fascinating read, but this time they [...]

From my own experience in counselling people over the years I would suggest that New Year’s Resolutions don’t work.
How about some Real-Solutions instead.
Here are the top 5 goals you might have (or you should have) as resolutions, and although you could see me in person instead here are the cheap, often no cost, steps to [...]
The problem with studying exercise for weight loss is that you can’t really disguise the exercise.
If exercise came in a pill you could do it.
You could get a big group of people and randomly give half the pill with exercise in it, and the other half a dummy, sugar pill that looks, smells, tastes etc [...]

Welcome Readers, old and new … it’s Spring in the Southern Hemisphere!
Time for that famous phrase “spring clean” – making sure things are not just tidied away or half-done, but thoroughly cleaned out ready for summer.
Do you want to lose weight, a little or lots?
Do you want to stop feeling guilty, or ‘out of control’ [...]

One of my favorite lines in hypnosis is the idea that you “know much more than you know you know”… at least unconsciously.
There is so much information in the world that it is impossible to take it all in consciously.
You know a part of it, but what do you know without recognizing it.
As I write [...]
