Being overweight has become an increasing problem in the western world which reflects that there is an imbalance in the person. Everyone has a proper weight ratio according to his/her height, bone structure, shape and other factors. If you are over (or under) weight than you are in the extreme and this indicates not only physical ailments but your spiritual and mentality/emotions are imbalanced too.

Just imagine a car loaded too heavily and using the car like this, for a long time causes strain and eventually the engine breaks down. Just suppose your heart was like the engine, as it becomes over worked, the heart becomes enlarged, muscles become soften and loose.

According to Dr. Stephen Chang a well known scholar and doctorate in western medicine and a specialist in Chinese medicine, you can no longer depend on the strength of the heart that it once was becoming more vulnerable to germs, viruses, bacteria and other organisms that attack weak heart muscles and cause the basis of inflammation.

The good news is if you want to lose weight then you can stop the cravings. It is possible that you can put those cravings to rest for good.

1 or 2 minutes of EFT can eliminate your cravings in an estimated 80% of cravings (according to emofree.com.) The main benefit being you only eat when your body tells you to eat not when your mind tells you it needs it ‘latest fix.’

An added benefit to EFT when it comes to weight reduction is: you can do away with or decrease the emotional triggers that cause you to want to gorge.

The father of medicine is the ancient Greek Hippocrates who said: “let food be your medicine, let medicine be your food.” From this statement we can conclude that food is basically a drug. Arguably its addictive and as we continually abuse ourselves with over eating what we are really doing is using food to put our past emotional hurts under ‘sedation’.

The result of thinking about food and acting out our thoughts – all day becomes a habit and as a consequence results in producing fat on our bodies.

Using a method such as EFT to really help our minds become peaceful gets rids of the need of wanting to overeat because we really don’t need to anyway – which leads to sensible eating habits.

There is report after report about exercise plans that fail. Perhaps, one simple reason why they do fail is they require will power. The force behind any goal is emotion and if our emotions are negative then that is exactly what the mind tends to focus on.

Next, If you urge to crave on food and you’ve tried to use will power to stop and still continue to pile on the pounds still feeling no joy or satisfaction then if you can see from your own past experience that will power tends not to help you one bit. However your attempt in reducing weight can be boosted with Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and feelings of inadequacies helps erase those emotions that trigger gorging and effectively program your behaviors. http://eft-emotional-freedom-technique-blu.blogspot.com.
