Burn Fat With Your Mind: The Mental Fat Burning Techniques of ‘Fat Into The Fire’

August 30, 2008 by fatintothefire

Comment by the creator of the “Fat Into The Fire” program, David P. Morrow:

(products available on Amazon)

The power of the mind and the power of your subconscious are so incredible, they go beyond our means of comprehension. The brain contains more than 100 billion neurons (cells), and each one of these neurons is linked to as many as 10,000 other neurons. Today, top scientists are researching and uncovering more and more about the awesome power of the brain and the subconscious. Recent scientific breakthroughs have uncovered information about the mind that Asian and other countries and religions have known about and have been taking advantage of for over 5,000 years: Concepts about being able to achieve what you train your mind to believe; concepts about our feelings being created by our thoughts; concepts about how we can control our thoughts. This includes recent psychological studies concluding happiness leads to success (and not the other way around). That being the case: Change your feelings to being happy and change your outcome.

Additionally, there is Anthropological evidence that states beliefs and expectations contribute to health and wellness. There are studies about how beliefs in the mind, regardless of whether they are imaginary or real, affect the body. The mind and body are constantly communicating with each other. Studies show how we can actually change our biology by changes to our thoughts, imagery, and beliefs.

There have been a lot of advancements in the areas of ‘mind-body control’. Recent scientific and medical breakthroughs uncovering how the mind can control parts of the body that was once considered uncontrollable. One practice of this is called Biofeedback. Biofeedback teaches you through visualization and audio techniques to control your body. Some of these mind techniques include teaching your mind to control certain involuntary body responses. It has been shown to be helpful in treating asthma, IBS, incontinence, epilepsy, headaches, high blood pressure, muscle tension, stress, and anxiety. Biofeedback is used today at many treatment centers. Authoritarians, scholars, and religions have been saying the body can treat and heal itself for thousands of years.

Twenty years ago, as a competitive athlete, I began researching the latest, cutting edge methods in order to be the best. That is also when I discovered and created the Fat Into The Fire Missing Links. Specific mind exercises to shift the body into a higher fat burning mode. Mind-body techniques to maximize metabolism. It is this process that has worked for me and that anybody can adapt to for themselves to achieve their goals. I was initially hesitant to share these alternative techniques with the public due to possible skepticism and criticism. Now though, with more press releases and media coverage regarding the scientific and medical breakthroughs in proven methods like Biofeedback and others, like Psychoneuroimmunology, I can now prove my findings. And, I am now excited to share with everyone my findings in my Fat Into The Fire book, along with my audio training CD for the fat burning mental process. I am filled with gratitude to have made these discoveries and to be able to help billions of people lose weight, get healthier, increase their overall wellness, energy, and happiness!

(Some of the above information regarding scientific studies were excerpts taken directly out of the Fat Into The Fire book. There is more information about these studies and methods in the book, including how you can get a copy of these specific studies.)

Fat Loss: Visualize To Maximize Your Fat Burning

August 25, 2008 by fatintothefire
Fat Into The Fire - the missing links

Fat Into The Fire - the missing links

What first comes to mind when you think about losing weight and burning off excess body fat? Diet and exercise, right? The two words go together like peanut butter & jelly, or cookies and milk.

But there must be a lot more to it than just diet and exercise. After all, how many times have you failed or have heard about the failures of others?

There is a lot more to it than just diet and exercise. There is something most all people completely miss.

I have great news though…I am happy to share with you the ‘missing link’. It is the very vital information that you need to know.

I say vital, because without this information, the degree of success you experience with weight loss and fitness goals will be minimal to none.

So what is the big ’secret’?

Easy…you just have to employ a ‘positive mental lock’ on your goals.

You must put yourself into a state of High Mental Focus.

Everything starts in the mind first. Then you put yourself into action to achieve a goal. Like achieving a fat burning metabolism.

Don’t fail to use the most powerful fat burning tool you have free access too…your own mind.
The fastest and most powerful ‘fat burner’ is not any kind of pill or supplement; it is your own mind.

Visualization, positive self-talk and mental imagery…all in focus with the intensity and precision of a laser beam.

Do you want fat loss success?

Then you must fully utilize this type of approach.

Here is the great news…it is for you, and it is VERY easy to do.

Something so powerful, yet, anyone can do it Very easy to learn and apply, and best of all…it is FREE. Your own thought processes, putting your own body into a fat burning mode.
I am not talking about just ’seeing yourself thinner’ with your mind’s eye.

I am talking about using visualization to actually get your own body to ’shift’ into a fat burning mode.
You, taking control of your very own metabolism. You, telling your own body to use body fat for energy, 24 hours a day.

You can do it. I have been doing it in a very precise manner, for almost 20 years. I do not have a strict diet, do not exercise in abundance, yet maintain a very healthy body weight.
Don’t overlook the power of your own mind in terms of melting the fat right off your own body. Consciously tap into your own subconscious power, and you can achieve all of your weight loss and fat loss goals.

Do you want an exact fat loss visualization technique that is easy to do? The very technique that I have used for almost 20 years? Everything is revealed in the book:

“Fat Into The Fire” ‘The simple missing links to maximize metabolism, energy, and yourself’

The most powerful mind technique that I have ever discovered. There is lots of free information, where you can find out more at: http://www.fatintothefire.com/

The book is available on Amazon

Jump off the Fat!

August 6, 2008 by fatintothefire

Remember your old childhood friend…the Jump Rope???
Top athletes train by jumping rope…not only does it burn calories fast, but it is a superior exercise for improving cardiovascular health and balance.

Start out easy…and be prepared to be sore the next day. Even if you are in shape and exercise currently…nothing is like jumping rope!

Start out with 8 – 10 minutes the first day, and build slowly after that. If you can do 2 jump rope sessions, even better for fast fat loss. Jumping rope has a tremendous and intense positive effect you increasing yur metabolism.

Is jumping rope to awkward for you??? Then just imagine you are jumping rope.

Thats right…pretend and use an ‘imaginary jump rope’ or invisible jump rope. You can still get all of the great benefits by pretending to jump rope. It may seem silly at first, but try it.

As a matter of fact, there is even a product called the JumpSnap. It is a ‘ropeless jump rope’.

I have been using it…and it is a really innovative product. It makes a ’swishing’ sound as your jump.

Check it out at: http://jumpsnap.com/ You can read about Brad LaTour (JumpSnap founder) and his great weight loss success story thanks to the JumpSnap.

I will write more about the JumpSnap on the main ‘fat into the fire blog’ http://blog.fatintothefire.com

Now…Get Jumpin’!!!

How to set yourself up for diet success

August 5, 2008 by fatintothefire

This article presents a ‘10% rule’ for as determining a ‘goal weight’ to aim for. The idea is that you take 10% of your current weight and have that be your first goal for weight loss. From there, they suggest to take a break from weight loss in order to let your body adjust to the new ’set point’. I would suggest that rather than take a break from weight loss (why stop a good thing once you have it in motion???), re-assess your goals and keep truckin’.

Once you are ‘on a roll’ in a positive direction, don’t stop!

Lose Weight Eating Deep-Fried Oreos?

August 4, 2008 by fatintothefire

Here is the real bottom line: You can keep any form of ‘junk food’ in your diet…even on a daily basis.

But you have to ‘balance the scales’. As in, 90% of your diet should be healthy food choices, geared to maximize your metabolism, health, and energy.

Perhaps you even exercise a bit longer to make up for the extra junk calories you consumed or plan on consuming.

For the record…I would not deep fry the Oreos. As a matter of fact, I’d say lets not deep fry anything. Why take healthy food, or unhealthy food, and stick it in a pot of boiling grease? It’s just not a good idea.
