Hello and welcome everybody this is Lucas Rockwood with yoga body naturals and

thanks so much for joining us today for another installment of our teleclass series.

This class as you know is called quit dieting forever and it's all about losing weight without

suffering without counting calories and without crazy boot camp

like workouts that I'm sure you've seen proliferating at this time of the year.

And what's fascinating about weight loss for me anyway is that the majority of thin people in this world, they don't diet, they don't exercise much, and most of them even have no idea how many calories they should or shouldn't be eating and yet they're

thin. Now some of these thin people they're genetically blessed for sure but the

majority of these naturally thin people simply have a better relationship with food than you or I or lots of other people.

So I'm a health food junkie as you probably know if you've been hanging around the yoga body world.

But I'll be the first to tell you that a healthy relationship with food is much more

important than healthy food or stereotypically healthy food.

So before we go any further, I want to make it clear that yes, diets can and do do work meaning if you starve and restrict

yourself you can lose weight I mean I've done that I'm sure you've done that we've all

done that at some point but diets also don't work too and if you look at any study ever conducted it shows that you know at

least 80% of people who go on a strict diet gain back all the lost weight if not

more weight usually within about a year.
