The Gabriel Methodology: The Revolutionary Weight loss program-Free Technique to Completely Remodel Your Physique

The real deal, I see actual proof.
For me, this is working and I’ll explain why – keep in mind it is not a “get skinny quick” approach. Those never work in the long run. After years and years of battling with my weight it slowly became clear to me that it’s not ALL about my calorie intake and exercise habits; weight loss is equally as much about self-love, mindset, healing old wounds and habits: changing your ‘programming.’ I realized this a few years ago, but I had no way to logically approach it and just felt stuck – stuck in a pattern of numbing myself with substances and food, convincing myself that this is just the kind of life I am supposed to lead and eventually I surrendered myself to it.Enter Gabriel Method. I bought this book back in January and read it, digested it, sat with it – the theory makes PERFECT sense. Regardless of your religion, ethics, or background this theory makes sense for everyone. (I mention this because I read some reviews where people were saying they “couldn’t get on board” with this method because it goes against their religion – he talks about past lives very briefly but there’s nothing preachy about it – but I say people just find nitpicky ways to avoid this journey, you truly have to DECIDE that you’re ready. I know because I was there.)In short, John explains that our bodies are all biologically programmed to react to threats the same way we did back in caveman days: Being chased by a predator? You better be thin so you can run fast. Long cold winter coming? Gotta pack on those pounds and stay warm. These “programs” in our mind react to our modern stresses, and for some reason our bodies are thinking that fat equals safe. This theory resonated with me because I’ve always had a suspicion my fat was my own form of protection.Here we are, in May, 3 weeks ago I finally started doing the meditations daily as you’re supposed to – morning and evening (there’s an app to listen to the meditations guided, get it!) – I think I held off for so long because I “wasn’t ready,” but after falling sick and being bed ridden I didn’t have an excuse not to try it. After a week of the meditations I felt…… good. I felt uplifted, I felt more positive, I started feeling more in control over my decisions to say “no” to hundreds of calories of snacking during my work day. I also felt less compelled to drink, binge eat, etc etc. And I have felt these feelings get stronger every day as I continue. To me that is a MASSIVE benefit, just as big as the weight loss itself. I have not weighed myself because to me, the scale takes away from what weight loss is really about – feeling good. But I will say I had a doctor’s visit this past Monday and I was several pounds lighter than the last time I weighed myself. I even had a friend tell me he thought I looked thinner. And emotionally I feel lighter too. I definitely feel change happening, and I feel like I’m in a better mindset in general. So to me that is a win.My mother has also been doing these meditations, she came to visit me (she lives fara way) and I told her she looked thinner, she also attributes this to the Gabriel Method.I would highly recommend this book – and please download the app with the meditations, it makes it so much easier. Remember that you have to do SOME of the work in order to lose weight – and by that I mean you need to make time to do the visualizations. I held off for so long because I was being too lazy to set aside the time to do the meditations, but after having done them for a few weeks now I can’t believe I ever saw them as inconvenient. The evening meditation you can do while laying in bed at night and I often doze off to sleep which has *not* proven to be a bad thing. In fact I am actually grateful because I have a hard time falling asleep so these have been tremendously helpful. I do the morning meditations maybe 4 out of 7 days of the week, I can’t always get my act together in the morning but I try to do it as often as I can.Anyhoo, I hope that helped. Good luck!

Great Information Mixed in with a Bit of Weirdness
First off, let me say I loved this book. It has the missing key from so many other books. I loved the comparison of dieting to trying to cut down on sleep. You can do it for a while, but eventually, your body will insist that it make up what you’ve lost. I love the mind-body connection. It’s important to think positively. And it’s true, our bodies react to constant stress as danger signals. We have to address that before we can expect consistent, long term weight loss.But be prepared for some strange new age/eastern ideas as well. Is a trauma from another incarnation (past life) causing you to gain weight, for example. And while he says to stop dieting, the fact is, he used a diet to lose his own weight. He tells you to eat what you want and perhaps there’s some value to this as a psychological trick. However, he does not as a rule eat starches, eats a minimal amount of organic meat and unpasteurized dairy. The bulk of his diet is organic, raw produce. Many raw foodies and followers of the Eat to Live diet have had the same amazing results, evenr eporting the skin elasticity he does. But let’s be real: while it’s probably the most nutritious diet going and doesn’t require being hungry, it is a diet, a low calorie, very restrictive diet. He didn’t lose weight strictly by destressing, being positive, and quitting diets. And most likely, neither will you. The mind/body technique is part of an overall diet plan.Still, I think his ideas have a lot of merit. And I’m glad I read the book.

Great idea, wanted it to work… not so much in the results area. Nice read

Ce livre est pour moi l’aboutissement de mes recherches sur le sujet de la perte de poids. Cela faisait quelques temps que j’avais compris que les régimes ne fonctionnaient pas sur le long terme et qu’il y avait sûrement une clef que je n’avais pas encore trouvée pour passer “de l’autre côté”. Pas très envie de vous “spoiler” la lecture en vous partageant ce qui a été le déclic pour moi, mais autant vous dire qu’à la moitié du livre, je commençais déjà à dégonfler, et que j’ai dû perdre environ 3 kilos rien qu’en le lisant… J’ai toujours été persuadée qu’une grande partie (..peut-être même l’intégralité!) de nos “maux” venaient d’une perception erronée de nous-mêmes et du monde, et avec ce livre j’ai enfin trouvé la clef psychologique avec laquelle j’ai définitivement changé de paradigme : et la façon dont mon corps se transforme est la preuve que c’est la bonne pour moi. Je reviendrai plus tard pour vous dire où j’en suis à ce niveau 🙂 Lecture à mon avis efficace pour ceux qui sentent que leur psychologie est la source d’une grande partie de leurs difficultés!
