What are we going to do with our metabolic processes? We will boost them.
First of all, I highly recommend walking. Walking outdoors accelerates metabolism. Another great option is various thermal procedures like saunas. But consult your doctor in advance. Breathing techniques! Well try a special breathing technique. Then, of course, regular meals are especially important. Its the main tool for boosting metabolism. And finally, your improper diet should become rational and balanced.
We will learn how to do it in our classes. Youll have new slimming mindsets and information on how to build up your diet. We will do different exercises and apply distinctive methods. Thats what we are going to do.
But the most critical task is to dispel the myths and legends associated with obesity and overweight, adopt the mindsets and behavior of a slim person.

What happens to the metabolism of an obese person? As a result of weight gain, a change in cell metabolism occurs. Metabolism skips from the Krebs cycle, which leads to the formation of lots of energy, to the pentose cycle characterized by low energy release and reduction of oxygen consumption. This type of metabolism leads to the fact that even consumption of water leads to the accumulation of hydrogen in adipose tissue. So, a person can gain weight even when drinking water.
This feature of metabolism is applied in cattle production. They give forty liters of water to pigs for efficient weight gain. If it is necessary to have a layer of meat in fat, then they give to the pig only five liters of water for several days. As you see, its possible to gain weight even by drinking water. It occurs because hydrogen contained in water saturates unsaturated fatty acids. Weve got saturated fatty acids and, as a result, weight gain.

Artyom Andreyevich Ovechkin:
Imagine your extra pounds as weeds in a vegetable garden. Has anyone of you got cottages with gardens?
Yes.
Tell us, Nadezhda, what do you usually do with weeds?
I pull them.
What else? If you pull weeds, after a while, they appear again.
Yes. Then we pull them again!
Has anyone tried to exterminate weeds? Tell us about it, Anzhelika. What did you use?
Special chemical agents.
Do you still have weeds?
No, I have neither weeds nor vegetable plants now.
You put too much effort into it. OK.
Look, these weeds are excess pounds, their roots are psychological and social reasons. You used to pull these weeds, mowed them, dug them out, trampled them down, and did all the other things. No matter what you did, they are still here. The roots stay in the ground. Whats so great about our program?
N.B.! What is the secret of the high efficiency of our approach? We fight against reasons for weight gain and eliminate them by working together. When reasons are eliminated, consequences your excess pounds disappear either.
The average rate of weight loss is from four to nine pounds per month. The World Health Organization considers it to be the optimal and safe rate of weight loss. Multiply it by six months. What do we get? From twenty-four to thirty-six pounds! Its not fast. But this gives your skin time to tighten up and for the spine to redistribute the load.
In my opinion, its not so much.
You can lose more pounds in the first month than over the next ones. Water gets away, swelling disappears. If you drink properly, everything will be fine. Thus, the problem of losing excess weight is complex.
Yes, its obvious.
What about the responsibility for the process of weight loss and the results achieved?
You are the only person responsible for your weight loss.
We provide psychological and informational support, and you follow our recommendations.
Please, consult your doctor regularly during our program on the psychological correction of eating habits, mindsets, and behavior.
Olga Vladimirovna Tsyganova, 28, economist, lost 110 lbs I lost sixteen and a half pounds in the first month. I felt triumphant. I followed all the recommendations, walked, and indulged myself. In the next month, I lost another sixteen pounds. When I returned to the University in September after summer vacation, my result was minus thirty-seven and a half pounds.
Imagine how proud I was. My fellow students did not recognize me. They asked what had happened, whether I was sick. I just smiled back. This was such a strong incentive for me to see the surprised faces of those who knew me.
Due to the training, my life became brighter and more enjoyable. It helped me to settle my mental problems. I realized that life is beautiful. All I need to do is to change my habits. The best is yet to come. So, I must not give up.
I have to say that it was essential for me to find allies among my relatives and friends who treated me with understanding, supported my endeavors, and didnt troll me. My pals did great!

Artyom Andreyevich Ovechkin:
If you follow our recommendations daily, and we help you if necessary, youve got the result. Got it?
Yes!
Before talking about the rules of the group work, I want to tell you a few words about the ones who dont lose weight during our training. Thats fair. I am sure some of you thought to themselves: I knew it would come!
The inner voice whispers: Its about you. Listen attentively!
Yes? Do you have such thoughts sometimes? So-called victims do not reduce weight.
Describe a person who plays the victim role.
He blames everyone around.
Exactly. The person does not want to take any responsibilities. He is upset at everyone; he is not guilty of anything. He always blames others. The victim blames everything and everybody, these bloody fools, Government and Martians. Jupiter in Scorpio turned retrograde when I started to lose weight, thats why I failed. And so on. Of course, these people will not take responsibility for implementation of recommendations and weight loss. In fact, they are not ready to do anything. In a month, they come to us and say: Ive tried dropping weight, but it didnt work. All other participants are content, they all became slimmer, but the victim didnt! Then I start to ask her: Did you do it? No! What about it? No. Why? I have a family. I go to work every day. I have no time.
Besides, there are so-called infiltrators.
These are people sent to our class by mothers, husbands, or others. They did not want to work on weight loss. But relatives or friends called a taxi, gave them a contract and sent them here.
