About this audiobook

Join best-selling author and international weight loss expert, Jon Gabriel, as he teaches you the visualization technique he used to shed 220 pounds without restrictive dieting or deprivation. Examining the importance of visualizing, Jon takes you through the latest research on the power of the mind in order to show why this technique is so effective for weight loss. !-- -- With just a few minutes of visualization every day, you'll learn how to: - Break free from negative beliefs and patterns around food - Reduce hunger and increase your metabolism - Overcome the stresses and emotional issues that can lead to weight gain - Rediscover the joy of movement - Create healthy habits for life - Eliminate junk food cravings and addictions - Improve your sleep and increase your energy All of which lead to natural, enjoyable, and sustainable weight loss. Jon also teaches you how to create your own visualizations that apply to your unique life. And then he walks you through a 16-week transformational program that includes both visualizations and nutritional guidance. Visualization is the powerful technique that helped Jon drop 220 pounds without dieting or deprivation because it didn't depend on calorie counting or extreme exercise—rather it changed his biochemistry and neural pathways. In turn, this helped lower stress and its associated inflammatory chemicals in his body, allowing him to lose weight easily and naturally. The big challenge, Jon discovered, is not finding the perfect diet or exercise routine; instead, it's convincing your brain that it's safe to let go of excess weight, which you can do with visualization. When that happens, it's as if your body actually wants to be thin. And as Jon says, "There is nothing easier and more natural than losing weight when your body wants to be thin." Praise for Visualization for Weight Loss "Jon Gabriel provides simple, practical ways to use visualization to help reduce stress and create healthy lifestyle habits that can lead to lasting, sustainable weight loss." –Dr. Mark Hyman, author of #1 New York Times bestseller The Blood Sugar Solution 10-Day Detox Diet Fast, lasting weight loss goes beyond what you eat or how you exercise. "Not only is Jon Gabriel genuine in his mission to help others, but through Jon's own weight-loss experience and the skills he acquired in the process, people respond to his method. If you only read one book on how to focus your mind for long-term weight loss, make this it." –Jason Vale (a.k.a. Juice Master), best-selling author, motivational speaker and lifestyle coach "Jon Gabriel's very being resonates with truth and power. What he has done is available to all of us. I wholeheartedly endorse his latest book on visualization for weight loss." –Dr. Christiane Northrup, physician and author of the New York Times bestsellers Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom and The Wisdom of Menopause "In his new book, Jon Gabriel provides simple, easy-to-implement strategies to reduce stress and remove other barriers that create weight loss resistance. If you're doing everything correctly yet still can't lose weight, visualization could provide the crucial missing piece of the puzzle. Highly recommended!" –J.J.

About the author

In 2001 Jon Gabriel weighed 409 pounds. He'd tried almost every popular diet available without success. Overweight, overworked, and unhappy, Jon was ready to give up. Then on September 11, 2001, Jon received a wake-up call. He was scheduled to fly from Newark to San Francisco that day, and it was only by chance that he was not on United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed in Pennsylvania. This made Jon realize that life was a precious opportunity not to be wasted. He also realized that his weight would eventually kill him, so he decided to do something about it. Over the next two and a half years, Jon lost more than 200 pounds without dieting, pills, or surgery. He also stopped feeling stressed and overworked and started living the life of his dreams. His book The Gabriel Method is an international bestseller with over 350,000 readers worldwide.
