Suspend judgment long enough to learn one (somewhat crazy) mental trick and you can achieve full control of your eating…forever.
once you learn this mental trick it will not only act to protect you against the thoughts which cause you to overeat today, but anything your “fat-thinking-self” might dream up tomorrow.
This trick-of-mind is fairly unusual, and you may have a negative reaction when you first hear it.
Because what you’ve been calling a weight problem — or difficulty sticking with your best thinking about what to eat — is in reality a survival drive gone wrong. This is why all your rational attempts to keep to your commitments have failed, and why you keep getting derailed from your best-laid dietary and nutritional plans.
no matter how hard you try, you eventually find yourself eating in ways you swore you never would again.
there’s ONE insight to which this seemingly unconquerable drive responds. One which can help you utterly dominate it, giving you full control of your eating from now on.
this is about a lot more than losing a few pounds. And it’s about more than your health.
This is about accomplishing all your goals and dreams with more confidence and security than you ever thought possible.
Your Fat-Thinking-Self will say anything to prevent you from reading this.
cementing your ability to stick with the Food Plan of your choice.
you’ll learn to put even the remotest possibility of failure out of your mind…even if you DO at times fail on any given attempt.
Uncertainty, doubt, and low self-esteem are the psychological cancers which fuel overeating behavior.
your Fat Thinking Self it no longer has the power to undermine your efforts with the fear of failure, guilt, and shame.
It’s Almost Impossible to “Love Yourself Thin!”
Identifying and caging your fat-thinking alter-ego is how YOU finally come to dominate all your food decisions and permanently reprogram yourself to think like a thin person.
Interrupting and disempowering the thoughts which sustain your bingeing and overeating is not a game of mercy, it’s a game of unbreakable control and domination.
Your Pig™ is NOT you!
The Pig doesn’t care about the consequences to your health, body, well-being, or happiness — because the Pig must get its stuff at any cost! You want to love, learn, laugh, and live your life to the fullest. But the Pig lives only for that “one more” precious Binge.
You can plan, organize, and accomplish amazing things. But the Pig sees life as one big food party and spends all its time and energy trying to convince you to indulge.
YOU are the only one who c...

either you or the Pig is going to suffer, and it’s NOT going to be you!
Your Inner Pig™ is responsible for a LOT of the misery in your life…
It’s prevented you from nourishing your body, mind, and soul…
It’s robbed you of not only the body you want, but the energy you need to build the life of your dreams.

making you feel hopeless about ever losing weight for good.

“Pig” (with a capital ‘P’) is an out-of-control eating machine which will destroy everything you love if you let it.
the Pig is intimately connected to an anatomical structure we need to survive (the midbrain).
every time you “cross the line” and Binge despite your best-laid plans, there’s actually a little voice inside you — the Pig’s voice — working hard to make it “OK”. And the Pig (the Bully) doesn’t care how sick it makes you, how much pain it causes, and/or how much it derails your best laid plans to achieve important goals.
this trick of mind is how you finally get fed up with the internal thoughts which—until now— have been ruining so much of your life in exchange for a few moments of toxic pleasure.
we’re going to voluntarily and aggressively separate ourselves from the Pig in our own mental space, and in so doing we’re going to gain 100% dominance over its destructive ideas.
It’s not “just” a trick of mind, it’s THE trick of mind that works where others fail!
order for it to work, it’s got to seem 100% real to us during ALL potential moments of temptation.
Cage the Pig and tell it to shut up!
REMEMBER: It’s your mind and you’re allowed to organize your thoughts and feelings any way you want. The Pig exists because you SAY it exists, end of story.
Is It Worth Defining a “Fat Thinking Alter-Ego” Inside You?

you’ll soon learn to refer to those things your Inner Pig wants you to eat as “Pig Slop™”…
we call the irrational voice your Pig uses to convince you to eat Pig Slop “Pig Squeal™”…
The name must accurately represent an aggressive, manipulative bully which cares only about making you eat badly and nothing else…
But beyond our neuroanatomy, we are all facing an overwhelming, perfect storm of socio-economic forces from which we need to set ourselves squarely apart. What’s required is for us to become fed up and angry, NOT lovingly complacent.
Mammals will engage in severe self-neglect in order to obtain artificial stimulation of their neurological pleasure centers.
The economic force of Big Food has trumped nutrition and hijacked our survival drive.
Big Food puts as much starch, sugar, oil, sodium, fat, excitotoxins, and other chemical stimulants into a small space as they legally can…
people develop MORE self-esteem and self-love when they find themselves finally able to control their eating behavior and accomplish their goals. The Pig metaphor is the best one I’ve found for at least half the people with whom I’ve worked.
we need to distinguish its Squeals from our own rational hunger.
make a concrete Food Plan with your own specific Food Rules (even JUST ONE rule to get started)… and then definitively commit.
must take 100% ownership and responsibility. It’s also why every rule—and your Food Plan as a whole—must be set with 100% clarity. Otherwise, the Pig can use “fuzzy lines” and “diets you’re just trying
out for a while” to mercilessly assail your integrity and confidence.
“Wait just a minute here! This book itself is a diet book too, isn’t it? After all Glenn’s just another guy trying to make a buck with weight-loss advice. So go ahead, try it out for a while. Sooner or later you’ll cheat like you always do, and then I’ll be free to Binge again. Why wait? Let’s do it NOW! Yippee!!!” – Sincerely, Your Pig
