WEEK ONE
RIGHT UNDERSTANDING: Getting Real: Detoxify yourself and eliminate the junk.

During week one you will see how good if feels to cut out the junk: sugar, starch, and processed foods. These are trigger foods. You will begin to feel as if you no longer desire these foods. You will begin to them for what they are—empty calories that stimulate your appetite for more empty calories.

WEEK TWO
RIGHT THOUGHT: Standardizing your eating and eat the right food at the right times (regularly scheduled three four hours apart.)

You will cultivate the habit of eating only at meal times and eliminate mindless eating as you continue to make good choices. You will find that by eating the right food, you can eat less, enjoy it more as you will feel full sooner and it lasts longer. You recognize that thoughts to eat unhealthy foods or between meals are simply an event of the mind. They have no power over you.

WEEK THREE
RIGHT SPEECH: Eating for the Right reason as you practice talking yourself out of inappropriate eating.

You will begin to understand the only real reason to eat is because you are hungry. You will be able to tell if you’re hungry as you build and strengthen the habit of not eating unless you are hungry. By eating the right food you will feel full sooner and find it will last longer.

WEEK FOUR
RIGHT ACTION: Fine tuning Right Eating: Eating the Right Amount of the Right Food

You will learn to avoid portion distortion and learn how to plan for “treats” by accounting for those calories on any particular day and knowing how they affect your calorie or energy budget.

WEEK FIVE
RIGHT LIVELIHOOD: Eating the right food in the right amount and feeling satisfied

You will feel satisfied with less food (and even enjoy it more) if you disassociate food from emotions, which will neutralize your relationship with food. Food is as source of energy. You will only want to take what you need.

WEEK SIX
RIGHT EFFORT: Exercising in the Right Way- Exercise is a form of food for the body

You will learn to be consistent and persistent about scheduling you exercise as you fine-tune your exercise habits by including yoga and strength training. Successful long-term weight loss must include exercise as a way of life. Remember Newton’s Law about a body in motion staying in motion and a body at rest staying at rest.

WEEK SEVEN
RIGHT MINDFULNESS: Eating in the Right Way/being more in the moment

Being mindful and eating mindfully is a key habit to cultivate. You will learn to eat slowly and enjoy your food more.

WEEK EIGHT
RIGHT CONCENTRATION: Lightening Up/Having the Right Mental Attitude

You will learn to nurture your feelings and practice good self care (healthy eating habits, daily exercise, and meditative time), as you cultivate an attitude of gratitude and appreciation that will ensure that you stay in the mental weight-loss zone.
