| Origin and explanation of Allen Oelschlaeger's B.I.T.E. Method for Effortless dealing with the rising incidence of childhood obesity. Consumer surveys repeatedly show dissatisfaction with the available books on weight, nutrition and fitness because they all have at least one of the following problems:
for his diabetic daughter who was heading off to college. After much research he couldn't find even one text he thought was acceptable. This prompted him to take advantage of his 35 years as a pharmacist, medical-industry executive, and weight-loss researcher to embark on a three-year project to identify the truths about weight, nutrition and fitness. His research included reading hundreds of books and articles dating back as far as the late 1800s and interviewing many experts in the field. Through this research he learned the following:
these maverick obesity experts in a home-study course that would:
imens. Its primary goal is to convince people to ignore all outside influence about how to become healthy and fit and, instead, rediscover and act on their body's natural regulatory signals. The course is structured into 36 steps which are easy-to-read and simple-to-understand. For review, there's a summary of key points at the end of each step. Readers are encouraged to read through the entire course to develop an accurate understanding of how their body really works and to realize the fallacy of most of what they've learned about weight, nutrition, and fitness. Then, once readers have internalized this information, the course's recommen- dations are so simple they are thoroughly recapped on just three pages at the end of the course. Such a short summary is possible because the positive results people experience with this course are mostly derived from correct thinking about weight management rather than implementation of complex diet and exercise regimens. However, for many, a set of recommendations that's three pages in length can still be a challenge for people to remember and act upon. This realization led Oelschlaeger to simplify his advice even further with the creation of his B.I.T.E. Method for effortless weight management. B.I.T.E. is an acronym which represents the following: Believe: Believing it's possible to be at a "healthy and fit" weight and enjoy the resulting benefits you much deserve. Ignore: Ignoring the so-prevalent myths, misinformation, and misdirection about weight loss which block any chance of you losing weight. Trust: Trusting your body will tell you how to treat it right via its natural regulatory signals so you can reach and maintain a weight that's perfect for you. Experiment: Experimenting with food and activity in order to know what's best for your one-of-a- kind physiology. Once people understand the fallacy of what they thought was true about weight, the uniqueness of each individual's physiology, the strong connection between the mind and body and the fundamental and unchanging truths about the physiology of weight management, this acronym is a powerful tool for effortless weight management.
