Eating trances are the number one reason people struggle to lose weight. And until you learn how to wake up from them, weight loss is always going to be more frustrating than it needs to be. So what is an eating trance? Before I tell you that, it's important for you to understand that the reason you've been struggling with your weight is not because you don't know what to eat. Problem is, you know what you should eat. But then when it comes time to do it, you're not getting yourself to do it. And this gets to the heart of what an eating trance is, which is when you choose foods based on your emotions rather than your logical mind, you're literally in a trance where you're not thinking. So the secret is to learn how to wake up from these trances. So when it comes time to choose what you're going to eat, you are awake and conscious.
