Paul McKenna "I Can Make You Thin!"

Hi all. Couldn't resist sharing this with you. I loved it, and I really think it's the way to go!!!!
THE TODDLER MIRACLE DIET!!!!!!

People are always on the lookout for a new diet. The trouble with most diets is that you don't get enough to eat (the starvation diet), you don't get enough variation (the liquid diet) or you go broke (the all-meat diet.) Consequently, people tend to cheat off their diets, or quit after three days. Now there's the new Toddler Miracle Diet.

Over the years you may have noticed that most two year olds are trim. Now the formula to their success is available to all in this new diet. You may want to consult your doctor before embarking on this diet, otherwise, you may be seeing him afterwards. Good Luck!

DAY ONE

Breakfast - One scrambled egg, one piece of toast with grape jelly. Eat 2 bites of egg, using your fingers; dump the rest on the floor. Take 1 bite of toast, then smear the jelly over your face and clothes. Get some in your eyebrows too. It'll give you something to pick at for several hours of satisfying appetite control.

Lunch - Four crayons (any color), a handful of potato chips, and a glass of milk (3 sips only, then spill the rest down your leg).

Dinner - A dry stick, two pennies and a nickel, 4 sips of stale beer.

Bedtime Snack - Toast piece of bread and toss it on the kitchen floor. Be sure to step on it and hear it go crunch!

DAY TWO

Breakfast - Pick up stale crunched toast from kitchen floor and eat it. Drink half bottle of vanilla extract or one vial of vegetable dye. Um. Yummy!

Lunch - Half tube of "Pulsating Pink" lipstick and a handful of Purina Dog Chow (any flavor). One ice cube, if desired.

Afternoon Snack - Lick an all-day sucker until sticky, take outside, drop in dirt. Retrieve and continue slurping until it is clean again. Then bring inside and drop on the rug. Wander away without thought.

Dinner - A rock or an uncooked bean, which should be thrust up your left nostril. Pour iced tea over mashed potatoes; eat with a large strainer spoon, since taking your time is vital to your dieting success.

DAY THREE

Breakfast - Two pancakes with plenty of syrup, eat with fingers, rub in hair. Don't pull it out later though. It hurts. Glass of milk: drink half, stuff remainder of picked over pancakes into glass. After breakfast, pick up yesterday's sucker from rug, lick off fuzz, and put it on the cushion of your best chair. Wander away without direction.

Lunch - Three matches, peanutbutter and jelly sandwich. Spit several bites onto the floor. Pour glass of milk on table and slurp up. Smear a design on table with remaining milk. It's good for your artistic expression.

Dinner - Dish of ice cream, handful of potato chips, some wine, and coffee.

FINAL DAY

Breakfast - A quarter-tube of toothpaste (any flavor), bit of soap, an olive. Pour a glass of milk over bowl of cornflakes, add a half-cup of sugar. Once cereal is soggy, drink milk and feed cereal to dog. Be sure to rub some in dog's fur just for fun.

Lunch - Eat crumbs off kitchen floor and dining room carpet. Find that sucker and finish eating it.

Dinner - A glass of spaghetti and chocolate milk. Discard meatball on plate. Stick of mascara for dessert.

Enjoy!

Hello everyone

Paul McKenna helped me stop smoking about 4 years ago. This meant he helped me gain a ton of weight. Now it's only fair he helps me lose it.

I did his weightloss programme about a year and a half ago and I had some success. Fell away from it though. Amazing how hard it is to actually concentrate on what you're eating isn't it. When I tell people what I'm doing they think "is it that simple?" It should be but years of habit is ingrained in me.

I've now started watching the programme on Sky3 and I've got the book and the cd. Haven't finished the book yet and have listened to the cd a couple of times. I feel as though I'm ready for another journey with Mr McKenna. I've been concentrating for just under a fortnight now and have not weight myself (I did on day 2 on the WII so I could check later) so I'm looking forward to finding out how much I've lost

Hi,

I've just registered to this forum because I started the PMK system 9 days ago. Is anyone still doing this system?

I have been doing ok and made some changes to my eating habits. I have left food on my plate at every meal and I even left a spoon full of yogurt to get myself into the frame of mind where it is ok to leave food.

I have stopped eating when I think i'm full but I do find it hard to know when I am full. I have never stopped eating at the point of satisfied or full, Ive always gotten to stuffed, bloated or even felt sick.

I want to lose 3st and have done every diet under the sun but never tried to retrain my brain and my relationship with food. I'm struggleing to take the tapping and excercises seriously and im not sure the CD will work for me but the rules are simple so I have been following them.

I'd love to hear from anyone who is doing this.

Thanks

Laura

Hi Laura a.k.a MissMilburn!!

I am still trying to do it and as of today I am back concentrating on it (Again). Whatever you do don't stop concentrating on eating slowly and stopping when you are satisfied because that is when it all went wrong for me. I still never eat when I am not hungry and as far as stopping when I am full is concerned I managed really well for the first year and then started pushing the boundries further and further and now I can only stop before I am full every once in a while and it is very hard to get back into it again.

Great system but you really do have to make it work for you.

Please keep posting your progress and I will post mine and hopefully we can support each other on here.

Hi Spuddy,

after reading the book it does all make sense and it cant possibly not work if the rules are followed. It is just a case of following them every time you put something in your mouth.

I'm looking forward to getting weighed next week to see if I have lost anything. I'm not expecting a massive weight loss just a couple of lbs will make me happy.

I'm off to london for the weekend tomorrow so that will be a challenge with food and drink but I am really going to try and I'll take the CD to listen to on the train on the way down to re-enforce my positive thinking.

It will be great to keep intouch and report out progress and suport each other. Christmas it coming up and it would be so good to be in control of our eating and maybe half of a stone lighter :-)

Is anyone still following this?
Or has anyone had any success with it?
I've got the book and CD - I've had them for about 5 years but I never really gave the system a committed try...kept doing it half hearted.
I'm thinking of giving it another go but just wondered if anyone has had any success, especially long term?

Hi There,

I still follow but in a one week on and one week of kind of way, not intentionally though, it is a really great system and does work but you do have to follow the four rules and really focus on what you are doing, I find that once I slip it takes a while to get back into it again. It is still the best weight loss system I have found though.

Good luck if you decide to follow it, I would also recommend all of Geneen Roth's book and Beyond Chocolate, these can all be used in conjunction with one another and on the whole all make you feel a lot better about yourself as a person (which at the end of the day is the main reason we are doing this I guess).

Let me know if you want someone to do it with.

I second what Spuddy says. I love PMK but you have to reread the book every so often to refocus yourself.
Lets do this together. I am getting married next year and want to lose about a stone. The PMK system re-addresses my relationship with food and actually makes life easier than any other 'diet plan' because you can eat the foods you want.

Great idea Skypie, lets get this thread up and running again! I started a new 90 day journal 5 days ago and so far am doing really well. I have also just received Geneen Roth's "when you eat at the refridgerator pull up a chair" and I can highly recommend it. PMK is so much easier to do when you feel good about yourself.
