Extra Fat Disappears...

With the Power of a Wooden Spoon

Feel like a teenager again! Instead of beating yourself up on the inside, struggling with

junk food addiction and falling back into the same pattern of unhealthy choices, you can

have energy and confidence as toxic fat melts off your body all served up with a

wooden spoon.

I used a wooden spoon to lose 15 pounds of stubborn belly fat in just 34 days.

You may be wondering how I went from being overweight to a healthy weight

with a wooden spoon, so let me tell you a little more about myselfand the

secret.

My name is Joe and Ive been married for 15 years with 4 growing boys. Overall,

Im pretty healthy. I eat a well-balanced diet thanks to my wife, whos a very

good cook. I also get a fair amount of regular exercise (which is not hard since I

try to keep up with my 4 boys!).

But for most of my married life, I have had a huge problem of being overweight:

15 pounds of pure belly fat. Like most men, I tend to hold more fat around my

waist.

The Fat Tucked Under My Skin JiggledYou may not think 15 pounds of

extra fat is a big deal, but do you

know what 15 pounds of fat looks

like or how big that is? Ill give

you a quick glimpse of something

that looks like buried blubber, but

whip my shirt back down before you

get a good look! Fifteen pounds of

excess belly fat is about the size of 3

loaves of bread with butter!



4/12

Imagine having a loaf (or 3!) of bread tucked under your shirt everywhere you

go!

Now I cant see what kind of spread, sag or lumpy gut you have under your

shirt, but Im pretty sure you have extra loafs of bread disguised as fat that you

want to get rid of. If youre 30 pounds overweight, then youve got the

equivalent of about 6 thick loaves of bread stuck to your bones, hanging out in

front and smothering your lean muscles.

Youre no fool. You know that what

makes your beltbuckle disappear is

not bread. Its gooey, globby,

jiggly, buttery yellow fat. Fat that

just sits there, weighing you down.

Its nothing more than billions of

storage sacks, individually stufed

with lard, getting bigger and bigger

when you stufmore grease into each

one.

And not only does fat LOOK bad hanging wherever it hangs, but its harmful to

your health in many ways.

Did you know fat is the primary storage place for harmful toxins, pollutants and

poisons from exposure to unclean air, pesticides, chemicals, food additives,

and biological contaminates?

The downside is the more body fat you have, the more toxins you are storing.

Your body holds on to the fat cells for dear life, literally weighing you down.

So the less fat you have, the less toxins youll store and the more energy youll

have.

Failure: How Are You Fooling Yourself?Since I am being personal with you (I showed you my fat belly for goodness

sake!), let me fill you in on what I have found to be true about good intentions

for losing weight.

The biggest reason most people have extra fat is that they dont DO what they

know they should do! For example:

Most people know that eating two 400-calorie cream filled chocolate

glazed donuts for breakfast is not a healthy way to start your day

Most people know that eating a slice of pepperoni - pizza right before

bedtime - doesnt promote fat loss.

Most people know they should exercise more than they do

But, despite all this knowledge

Most people fail to do what they know they should do.

Why is that?

Well, today, Id like to show you the missing link for how you can stop

sabotaging yourself, stop eating crap that you know is bad for you, and start

losing that stubborn fat once and for all.

The secret? Its all about creating a foolproof personal system of accountability

and Im going to show you exactly how you can create your own system that

will guarantee reaching your goals, whatever they may be.

Exercise Your Right To Choose How You Look and

FeelSo, lets do a little thinking exercise together. Imagine....

1. What would it be like if you did what you knew you should do to lose

weight? Almost as if you were playing a video game and controling

yourself on the TV screen from a distance command yourself to do only

what is best for you, no longer falling into those self-sabotaging traps



6/12

that always seemed to trip you up.

2. How would you feel if you had internal self-discipline and motivation?

Your mind would force you to stop eating or your body would resist

craving junk food. You would have strength to maintain a consistent

exercise program without joining something like weight watchers, and

without paying for a personal trainer! Instead of getting fat and losing

muscle, you would burn ofugly fat and build lean muscle instead!

3. How good are you going to look and feel when you reach your own

personal goals. Youll never fall back into old harmful patterns because

youll have new confidence gained with a leaner, stronger body.

Now, Id like you to grab a piece of

paper and a pen or pencil. You are

going to identify the dicult habits

that you need to break and the

efective patterns that help you make

good choices. Please answer the

following 2 questions:

1. What unhealthy & harmful things

are you currently doing that you shouldnt be doing?

Ideas: Maybe youre drinking too much soda pop, eating too many

desserts, drinking too much beer, eating too many French fries, smoking,

driving dangerously, taking too many pills, or having a negative attitude,

etc.

2. What positive things are you currently NOT doing that you know you should

be doing, in order to be healthy, fit and confident?



7/12

Ideas: Maybe youre not eating a healthy breakfast, not eating enough

raw nuts, fruits & veggies, not exercising enough, not taking your

vitamins regularly, not spending enough time with your children, not

writing in your journal, or not getting enough sleep, etc.

Id like to congratulate you! By completing these questions, you know have a

great chance for successful weight loss.

Keep this list handy. Well get back to it in a few minutes so we can build a

better you

Are You Trigger Happy? The Right Motivational

Trigger Will Kill Overeating

OK, so back to my story and the 15 pounds of unwanted fat.

Ive gone on many low-carb diets before, including the Atkins diet, South

Beach, Ideal Protein and others. They seemed to jump-start my fat loss for a

short period of timeas long as I stayed committed to the selected elimination

diet items. The major problem was I always sabotaged my own weight loss

success when I reverted back to my old comfortable patterns of unhealthyeating.

Bottom line was I was addicted to junk food. My

favorites were:

Chocolate chip cookies

Pepperoni pizza

French silk pie

Mr. Goodbar Dairy Queen Blizzards

Whatever gooey bars my wife would bake

I couldnt resist eating these comfort foods, even

though I knew they were unhealthy and slightly



8/12

addicting. (And my apologies if this list tempted you to run to the kitchen!

Dont worry! Youll be able to overcome these cravings very soon!)

It wasnt until I discovered my MOTIVATIONAL TRIGGER that I was able to create

my personal success plan:

To overcome junk food addiction

Maintain a consistent exercise pattern

Eat more nutritious foods

My trigger was a wooden spoon.

The Wooden Spoon Fat Loss CureThe wooden spoon has helped me lose all the extra fat 15 pounds of ugly,

jiggly belly fat and it only took me 5 weeks!

I call it the Wooden Spoon Fat Loss Cure or the Wooden Spoon Diet. No, I

dont eat meals with a big wooden spoon (though that might work, too LOL).

What is the secret?

I discovered that the woodenspoon became a trigger that

helped me make good choices,

instead of bad choices.

For me, I fear the pain of getting

whacked on the butt with a

wooden spoon. If youve

experienced the wooden spoon on your behind, then you know exactly what Imtalking about (thanks, Mom!). It hurts!

So, I wrote down my list of unhealthy things I was doing, as well as the healthy

things I wasnt doing. Then, I told my 4 boys if I dont follow my plan each day,

they each got to whack me with a wooden spoon!



9/12

My list included not eating junk food, which is my biggest weakness:

cookies, candy, bars, ice cream, pie, bread, pizza crust, cake, doughnuts,

cereal and sugared drinks.

My list also included a minimum daily exercise routine that I had to

complete every day: pushups, pull-ups, squats or cardio.

Finally, my list included healthy foods I had to eat: salad with green

vegetables or a healthy fruit & veggie smoothie.

If I didnt follow my own plan to perfection, I gave my boys permission to whack

me as hard as they could, with no consequences to them.

Boy, oh boy, did they LOVE that idea!!!

And, yes, I did mess up but only once! One day, I forgot to do my pushups

because we were up early and traveled all day long. By the time we got to our

destination, I was exhausted and forgot to do my pushups.

Three out of four of my boys let me

of the hook, but one of them did

not Carson, my 3rd child, had

been waiting for this moment for

weeks! Finally, after he wouldnt let

me talk him out of it, I let him do

what I told him he could do from

the beginning and he let me have

it. Hurt like a son-of-a-gun, too!

After the first 30 days, I had reflected back on the wooden spoon fat loss cureand realized it had been a smashing success! I had lost 15 pounds of ugly belly

fat disguised under my shirt!

Pain MotivatorWhenever I was faced with the option or desire to eat something on my

forbidden list, like a piece of cake or bread, I would think about the pain of a

wooden spoon that I would have to endure.

The pain of a wooden spoon isnt actually all that bad, really. But the

anticipation of the pain is the kicker .and ideal motivator for not giving into

temptation.

Once you actually get whacked with a wooden spoon, it only stings for a minute

or three. But thinking about the potential pain especially right as youre

waiting for it to come (I closed my eyes and screamed into a pillow) - is the

most agonizing form of punishment.

So, maybe the threat of a whack with a wooden spoon isnt something that

would motivate you. I doubt it will work for me when my kids are older and out

of the house. The key is finding something that would hurt you enough that

prevents you from completely falling of track and stumbling into old,

unhealthy habits.

The interesting thing is, if we dontcome up with a short-term pain

motivator, were going to have long-

term pain in the form of an unhealthy

body, unhealthy confidence levels,

higher risk of disease, greater chance

for depression and a potentially

shortened lifespan.

So, what can you think of that could act

as your wooden spoon punishment?

What puts the fear of God into you?

10 Motivational Tools for Weight Loss SuccessTake a minute to brainstorm some ideas that would motivate you to avoid pain

and unhealthy decisions. What motivates you in other areas of your life? Try to

adapt them to achieve greater weight loss success.

And if you cant think of any, here are 10 things that have worked for other

people:

1. Paying a significant amount of money to an organization that you are

opposed to. (For example, donate to Planned Parenthood if youre Pro-

Life)

2. Letting someone shave your head.

3. Giving away your favorite pair of shoes or jeans to Goodwill.

4. Being forced to eat a whole serving of a food you hate (Brussels Sprouts

would work for me).

5. Giving a speech in front of a big crowd.

6. Sharing a really embarrassing moment on your Facebook status.

7. Giving away your car.

8. Wearing a realllllly ugly outfit to work.

9. Sleeping one night in the dog house.

10.Getting your face smashed with a cream pie.

To make this plan work, youre going to need two vital ingredients:

1. An accountability partner who will NOT let you of the hook

2. A commitment to tell the truth and not lie about breaking one of your

rules

I know someone who chose a punishment that did NOT motivate them to

eliminate bad behavior. Her wooden spoon was riding as a passenger in a car

while someone else driving which had been her phobia for years.

But when she broke her own rules, she talked her husband into letting her of

the hook and she avoided the painful consequence of her action.



12/12

Your wooden spoon needs to be an action or a consequence that you cant

avoid, not matter how painful. Plus, your accountability partner needs to stick

to the punishment no matter what!

As a side note, my friend found a new wooden spoon that worked well for

her

A good lesson here is, if you choose something and it doesnt work, then try

something else until you find the motivational trigger that works to keep you

focused on a healthy body and clear set of goals.

Ive assumed that you probably already know

what is and is not healthy for you. 80-90% of

your list is going to keep you steadfast in

pursuit of weight loss success and turn you

away from diving head first into a fat of

melted chocolate or stuf down a loaded

pizza or two.

Id like you to have some accurate

information that will help you maximize the

eciency of your transformation to a the new

you. If you want to learn the best methods

for burning fat through proper nutrition, then

I highly recommend this program for

successful weight loss.
