MindMap Gallery I gave up losing weight, I lost 60 pounds reading notes
This book is based on the author's own experience and methods after losing 60 pounds in a healthy way, combined with five years of relevant writing accumulation, to explore the real reason for repeated weight loss failures - not because of poor willpower, but because weight loss is really difficult and cannot be sustained for a long time. . The whole book focuses on this difficulty and seeks reasonable solutions - no need to do things that require persistence (such as enduring hunger, crazy exercise), narrowing the weight loss goal, and making weight loss a habit.

"I gave up losing weight and lost 60 pounds" reading notes
you were fooled
Think outside the box
Why haven't you lost weight?
Everyone has enough action and willpower to lose weight, but few people can lose weight.
The vast majority of people choose a method destined to be achieved by only a few people - persistence
"Slimming Success" Club
People who can "persevere" will lose weight long ago
The failure to lose weight is not because you have poor willpower, but because you force yourself to play a game where others have already set the rules and are destined to be a game that only a few people can "win"
Eating less and exercising more is not a way to lose weight at all
There is no answer at all on how to consistently “eat less and exercise more”
"Skinny" have no self-discipline at all
The resistance required by thin people to "eat less and exercise more" is very small, and there is no need to deliberately insist on it.
Successful weight loss is not worth mentioning
There can be thousands of motivations for losing weight, but if it goes against your health, it’s all meaningless.
Losing weight just returns your weight to the normal range and makes you healthier, nothing more. It will not make our lives "new", nor will it reverse a bad situation, nor will it take us to the "peak of life"
You don’t have to lose weight
Not everything is worth the effort, and not everything requires willpower.
You don’t have to lose weight to be in a perfect state
Start your last weight loss journey
Promise me four things
Record
current weight
Current minimum waist size

my weight loss goals
I plan to lose weight in a few days
My daily exercise plan

Stop all exercise plans
Stop all diet planning, stop counting calories and eat whatever you want
Don't do anything that requires persistence
Read one sentence from this book every day
Re-understand your weight loss process
The process of healthy weight loss takes a long time
Accumulation period
There is no change in weight or the weight loss is very slow in the first period of time
steady decline period
Steady weight loss or plateau
return to normal
becoming steady
How to set a goal weight
Normal and healthy weight is always a range, not a fixed value
Determine your target weight by calculating your BMI
Weight loss is not all about weight loss
This book won’t help you build abs
Abdominal muscles (revealing lines) are more likely to be slimmed down
Being thin is first related to mentality and living habits, then to body shape, and finally to weight.
What you need may not be to lose weight
All the problems you see are the solutions that person has been thinking about for a long time.
Losing weight can give many girls a sense of security in their image.
Overeating is a solution for many people to deal with work pressure, negative emotions, and inner anxiety.
Use this template to think about the problems you face
I believe in your determination, but I believe in human nature more
Set a big goal, and then what?
Decided to start executing the goal from tomorrow because I don’t want to do it at all
Weight loss failure curse
You haven't tried anything else but to persevere
People always like to do things that make them feel comfortable and avoid uncomfortable and uncomfortable behaviors, such as everything you have to do to lose weight.
How to maintain weight loss is the most fundamental problem we need to solve
Why is it so hard to lose weight?
The requirements for oneself are too high, and these requirements are inherently impossible to achieve
The road to weight loss is long, but willpower is short
Most of the things that are successfully accomplished with willpower are short-term or single-time tasks that can be completed completely.
Losing weight should be a long-term process, and your willpower is not enough to ensure that you can stick to it to the end.
Whenever you think you need to "stick to losing weight," it means that your current weight loss plans or requirements are something you don't want to do. And what you don’t want to do is destined to be difficult to last
How to use limited willpower
Not deliberately using willpower is the best way to use it
The three most important sentences
"Keep losing weight" and "make weight loss last" are two different things
Persistence itself is not for losing weight, the purpose of perseverance is to make weight loss last
Adherence is only an extremely primitive means of sustaining a weight loss program
you need 300 days
Galileo's answer
Minimizing resistance as much as possible can make the weight loss plan last as long as possible
How difficult it is to lose weight is up to you
If you find it difficult to lose weight, it’s because you insist on making it so difficult.
Time is your weapon
The goal of losing weight must be to make the weight loss plan last for a long time, and finally reach the end point and lose weight successfully. This means that the way you choose to lose weight must serve this goal.
Slow down, that's right
The length of time it takes to lose weight will not affect the form of results. The rest of our lives is so long, we only need to become a "skinny person" within the foreseeable time.
"Slowness" is not a problem that should be solved. On the contrary, we need to be wary of "fastness". Slow means it is sustainable and also represents a higher probability of weight loss success.
Strategies for sustained weight loss
What can you do to ensure your goals are implemented in the long term?
The key to whether an exercise plan can be sustained for a long time lies in whether you are able to execute it and whether you want to execute it when you are at your worst.
less is more
The purpose of your exercise is not to burn more calories, but to allow yourself to exercise and enjoy exercise every day
The key to sustaining something for a long time is that it itself should be simple enough, and what we can do is to reduce the resistance to its continued execution as much as possible
Is this exercise useful?
Goals only define the lower limit of your daily exercise, not a limit. You can always exceed your limit.
A goal that is too small will not prevent you from accomplishing anything. Not taking action or being unable to sustain it for a long time will be your obstacle.
let's move
Micro-goals must be based on a "daily" cycle. Completing micro-goals every day will also help develop habits and will not be easily interrupted.
The content of the micro-goal should be specific enough, if you want yourself to exercise more
Micro-goal strategies can certainly be used in daily life
Track micro-targets
After you complete your micro-goals every day, record them in your notebook
Exercise like brushing your teeth
why do you brush your teeth
Once you develop a habit, you will feel uncomfortable if you don’t do it
Make weight loss a habit and change the motivation for continued weight loss from willpower to inertia
How to get into the habit of brushing your teeth
Positive motivation → Easy execution → Obtain reward → Reinforce reward → Anticipate reward → Repeat many times → Form a habit
Wrong motivation
If the motivation is wrong, it will be difficult to obtain the expected rewards, and naturally it will be difficult to form an exercise habit.
Exercise is not about losing weight at all
The reason and motivation for "skinny" exercise is simply that exercise makes people feel good
Movement is a catalyst
After exercise, the human brain secretes endorphins and other feel-good substances
Record the good feeling after exercise
How do you feel and what progress have you made?
Physical changes, whether strength and endurance have become stronger
Changes in life, whether you have made any new attempts after exercise, how do you feel?
Stop running to lose weight
What kind of exercise plan do you need?
Can be done at home
Strength training vs cardio
Aerobic exercise
The threshold is high and it takes a long time
Not suitable for micro-targeting strategies
It’s easy to fall into a calorie trap
Strength Training
The threshold is low and can be done at home
The effect is immediate
The time required is short and the effect is not directly related to time.
Physical functions are actually improved
Basal metabolism is improved
How to perform strength training
Use combination dumbbells
Use the APP or the action library in the book to arrange the parts and content of strength training by yourself
Choose one part to perform every day
Don’t check in on social platforms
Others are less interested in your weight loss progress
No matter what kind of feedback it is, it will not be of any substantial help to your weight loss.
Easily reduce your mobility
Your satisfaction should be brought by actual actions and results, not by the praise of friends
"Skinny" never counts calories
Energy is not “conserved” in the first place
Exercise is not the main way of energy consumption. Most of the body's energy is used to maintain body functions and daily activities.
Calories are not your enemy, they are the energy you need to live
Don't be a slave to calories
Now you don’t have the ability to eat just right.
Your goal is to become a "skinny person", not a "slave" to your energy budget
You already know how to eat
When we rely on calories to judge the quality of food and whether the portion is appropriate, we are using a logical judgment model and abandoning the body's instinctive response model.
Diet is a basic physiological need. Human beings originally have a complete system to tell you what to eat, how to eat, and how much to eat. This information is something you feel directly, rather than a conclusion reached after thinking.
Concepts like calories are like training wheels that take away your trust in yourself and your ability to eat naturally like a normal person.
Normal eating logic: rely on instinctive reaction to eat
Eat on instinct
In a natural eating state, we must first return the initiative to the body's instinctive response, trust the body's regulatory ability, respect the inner appetite, sense the body's signals, and make dietary decisions and adjustments.
In fact, you already have the ability to self-regulate. Just like you know that you need to wear more clothes when the weather is cold, and you need to change into short sleeves when the weather is hot. There is always a "skinny man" living in your heart. All you need to do is to hear his voice.
What should I do if I always eat too much?
It's not your fault that you lost control
Everything you want to control cannot be controlled in the first place, and the results will naturally not develop in the direction you expect. If you force yourself to control it, sooner or later you will lose control.
The more you control, the more out of control you get
You can't do it now
You don't have to do it
Everyone overeats, regardless of whether they are fat or thin, men or women, the difference between you and the "skinny" is just the frequency of overeating
When anyone is overeating, what we really need to avoid is to characterize overeating and other behaviors that do not meet expectations in the diet as "out of control" or "out of control", because the corresponding can only be "control" ”, and the more controlled you are, the easier it is to experience losing control again.
Guilt makes you want to eat more
Normal diet logic: If you eat too much, you will be over it.
There is no way (and no need) for people to suppress the body's instinctive needs. The more you try to fight your appetite, the more you're heading in the wrong direction.
Lose weight, lose your heart
You don't eat fat
Restrictions are not the goal, but allowing yourself to take the initiative to eat healthily and reasonably is the goal
"Shut up," why doesn't it work?
The essential difference between fat and thin is not whether you eat or not eat in the end, but whether you want to eat or exercise at the beginning - this is exactly what self-control cannot interfere with, but it is the key to determining whether you are fat or thin.
What is thin
What defines fat or thin is not whether the number on the scale is within a certain range, but whether your lifestyle is in "skinny mode" or "fat mode"
What you have to change is how much you want to eat, not how much you actually eat - the former determines your fat and thin attributes, while the latter only determines your weight before rebounding
Normal eating logic: allow yourself to eat
What to eat when losing weight
what is appetite
What we ultimately learn is how to enjoy food better, not how to suppress our appetite better. There is no conflict between enjoying delicious food and losing weight
You can't quit anything
Losing weight does not mean that everyone has to fall in love with boiled broccoli. Losing weight means that everyone can find a suitable way to maximize their enjoyment of food within their own dietary framework.
There is no such thing as "junk food", only unhealthy ways to eat it
When cognitive habits replace appetite
In order to save decision-making time, the brain establishes the association of "eating McDonald's - happy and satisfied", but skips the step of "tasting carefully"
Eating and drinking
You will eat as much as you buy
Buy what you need
Discover your “real needs”
Your choice is only to satisfy yourself, and your purchasing decision should be determined by your own actual needs
Eating for the sake of eating is the biggest waste
The "demand" created by your "want to eat" is time-sensitive
Eating because you want to eat, the demand gap is usually close to the maximum value, which brings both physical and psychological satisfaction. In contrast, if you eat because you have it (around you), the demand gap is usually small and may not lead to an ideal eating experience.
Normal diet logic: eat as needed
Respect real needs
self-centered
Recognize real needs
Recognize the timeliness of needs
Buy what you need (eat as you go)
Eat because you "want to eat"
respect food
record weight loss
Three premises
Don't do anything that requires persistence
