Please read the following with utmost attention. Read it 3 times at least before you start. I really mean it…Read this whole document at least 3 TIMES before you start!!!!! This plan is very simple, yet extremely powerful. Find a nice quiet place, where you can be by yourself, and then continue reading. The wizard can only provide this information, he cannot make you use it. Make sure you understand everything. The loss of excess poundage is at stake!



You must keep this information secret. Benjamin Franklin once said that 3 people can keep a secret.... if 2 of them are dead. One of the laws of the universe is dissemination. That means if you talk of a thing, it is weakened.

If you are really serious about losing weight, you must keep it to yourself. The wizard assumes you are serious, but he does not wish to make an "ass" out of "u" and "me", so he urges you to be quiet. When people start asking how you are getting slimmer and slimmer, just smile enigmatically, and pat yourself on the back. You can refer anyone who asks to the wizard, but this is a personal, precious thing between yourself and the wizard, and it will lose it's power if you blab.

Now, as you read this plan, it will seem to make no sense whatsoever. But after you have been on it for a week, it will make all the sense in the world. Remember what Herbert Spencer said:

"There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is a proof against all argument, and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance-that principle is comdemnation before investigation."

So, give this plan a fair chance, and I guarantee you will be truly astounded!

You are about to embark on a difficult journey. Let no one kid you, losing weight is not an easy thing. If it were, 78% of the people in the United States wouldn't be overweight. If you have ever lost weight, you remember what a struggle it was. It's HARD to do, and it takes TIME. However, knowing all that, you now have a tool, in the Wizard's Diet, that will make it easier. I would like to know how you are doing, so from time to time, call me, if you want to, and let me know. If you have any questions, or just need some moral support, call me, or e-mail me.

If you are overweight, you have more than a weight problem. The weight is just the symptom of another problem. This diet does not directly address the problem(s) you have. Yet in an indirect way (through a secret passage into your mind), it will give you enough of a sense of self-respect and control, to enable you to lose the weight you specify. Both attributes will enable you to lose weight. As you are following this plan, and after you have attained your goal, the wizard encourages you to pursue solutions to your original problem(s). Speaking of goals, set a target weight that you wish to reach, before starting this plan.



This plan (we will call it a plan instead of a diet from now on) is based on doing what you say you are going to do. You can see how this is a good concept. If you say you are going to do something, and then do it on a consistent basis, you have what is called self-respect and the respect of others; you have credibility. But how many times have you said you will do this or you will do that, and then never followed through? It seems as though saying you will do something takes the place of actually doing it. This pattern leads to a feeling of disrespect, and worthlessness. And that is part of the reason why you are fat.



Now here's what we're going to do. Every day, we are going make a list of things we are going to eat that day. Our daily list will be very specific. It will state what we will eat, and how much. We will make a list every morning, or the night before, of the things we will eat that day. When we first start out, we will put things on the list, based on the things we have eaten recently.



So step one is to make a general work list of all the things you have eaten during the last month or so. You can go ahead and add any other foods that you can think of that you might want to eat. The wizard will wait while you make your list. Do this now, and do not continue reading until it is done. Skip this step on your second and third reading.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Step two is to make your daily list of things you wish to eat tomorrow. Now this is very important: put enough things on your list, so you won't run out. The secret of this plan is that we eat only the things on the list (what we say we are going to do, we will do, i.e. "what say do"). For example: One day, a while back, when the wizard was a bit on the plump side, the wizard ate an egg McMuffin and 2 hash browns for breakfast. For a midmorning snack, he ate a couple of donuts. At lunch, the wizard went out with friends, and ate 4 slices of pizza. Dinner was a healthy helping of spaghetti, with garlic bread, salad with blue cheese dressing, and a piece of blackberry pie. His TV snack was some buttered popcorn, with an imported chocolate bar. When the wizard started the plan, his list was:


The Wizard's first day's list:

1. 1 Sausage McMuffin w/cheese.

2. 2 hash browns.

3. 1 bearclaw

4. 4 slices of pizza.

5. Spaghetti and meatballs

6. Salad w/Blue cheese dressing

7. 1 piece of cherry pie.

8. 1 bag of microwave Popweaver popcorn.

9. A pint of Ben and Jerry's New York Super Fudge Chunk

10. One bar of imported Hazelnut chocolate.

11. One 16 oz bag of pecan cookies.



Your list has to be representative of what you have been eating (not necessarily the same things, but a similar total amount of food), when you first start out. Also, notice how the icecream and the bag of cookies was added (just in case).



Now here is the important part, which CANNOT be over emphasized: When you first start this plan, you must put more of the things you eat every day on your list. You must have a well-padded list. Now, you don't need to eat all the things on your list, but if you eat something, it has to be on your list. Once more, just because it's on your list does not mean you have to eat it. You can decide to not eat things on your list.

But, most importantly, if you eat something on the list, you will feel OK, because it's something you said you would do. If it's on your list, you can eat it, if it's not on your list you cannot eat it. You can only eat the things on your list! Even if you want to eat one cheerio, or one sunflower seed, if it's not on your list, you can't eat it.

Also, once the day has started, and you have eaten the first thing on your list, you cannot change your list. The wizard suggests you put a big bag of chocolate chip cookies on your list every day for at least 2 weeks, then you can taper it down to 10 cookies, etc. The reason is that if you have eaten all the other things on your list, voila' you still have the big bag of cookies.



Because the only thing that will make this plan fail, is a conscious decision to eat something that is not on your list. That will blow this plan FOREVER, for the simple reason that once you fall off your list, you will find it VERY difficult to get back on, and there is a 99% chance that you will be UNABLE to get back on.


There are 3 situations where something will happen, that we need to address:

Number 1 is you catch yourself eating something, that is not on the list, without really thinking about it. As soon as you realize what you are doing, STOP. Spit it out if you are by yourself. Now you haven't made a conscious decision to eat whatever you caught yourself eating so you are still OK. Just stop immediately.



Number 2 is when you are invited to dinner, or something (you are offered a piece of candy, or whatever), that you had not anticipated when you made your list. In this case, what you need to do is to eat only enough to be polite, and not make a spectacle of yourself by refusing this or that. This does not mean you can make a spectacle of yourself and eat everything in the restaurant. Remember, we are trying to create a sense of self-respect and control. Eat only enough to be polite, no more. And this only applies, if it is an unexpected invitation to eat. Of course, you can refuse the invitation if you wish; it's just that you can accept also, without breaking the plan.



Number 3 is when you are invited to dinner at a restaurant or a friend's house, before you've made your list for that day. Now you don't know exactly what will be on the menu, so you have to anticipate a bit. You can make some educated guesses, or put things on your list that the restaurant is sure to have. You can also put on your list: one appetizer/salad, one main dish, and dessert for example. And then make the decision of which particular dish when you order. Just exercise a little control, but you don't have to just have a salad either. Be honest with yourself, and make it reasonable. Don't treat this as an opportunity to gorge yourself.



Do you see how you now have control over what you will eat? You are in the pilot's seat. You can eat whatever, and how much you want, as long as you have put it on your list for that day. You are in control, and you now have the beginnings of a modicum of self-respect. You will experience this sense of well being and control about a week after you start.



Ok, that's it, that's the wizard's plan for losing weight, and it will work for you. Now you are probably thinking, what in the world have I spent my money on? This plan is insane! Ben and Jerry's???, pizza? etc?. Have no fear. You have been fat for a long time, is the wizard's guess, and a few months or so longer will certainly not matter.

There is a method to this madness! But I hesitate to tell you what it is. You see it's the secret passageway into your mind principle. If you know what is coming into your mind, your mind will guard against it, and then no more entry.

But I will give you a hint. Once you have eaten only what is on your list for at least a WEEK, without any major changes, don't you think that for breakfast, you can take one hash brown off your list?, or maybe trade 1 of the pizza slices for a bowl of soup?, or salmon for dinner? Just move SLOWLY, be creative and STAY ON YOUR LIST.

Once more……MOVE SLOWLY. Don't take a bunch of stuff off your list all at once. One or two things at a time, and keep some backup! Again, it is crucial for you to move slowly. If you move too fast, (taking too much off too soon), you have a greater chance of falling off the list. If on the third day you have on your list a piece of toast and a salad without oil, this plan will FAIL!

If you want to test yourself, just see if you can skip eating some of the things on your list. If you can end the day with uneaten things still on your list, then you will know. You must be realistic. You must be honest with yourself. This will only work if you can stay on your list. In order to do that, you have to take some time to get used to the process. Because: If you fall off --- that's it, it's over, THE END.


Do you want to spend 1 week on this plan, and fall off your list, or would you rather spend 2-3 months on your list, and reach your target weight? So please MOVE SLOWLY. Make this the most important thing in your life. And in a way, this is the most important thing in your life. Because, until you get to a weight that you are comfortable with, your life is on hold; you can't really enjoy it the way it was meant to be enjoyed. And believe me, life can be a very enjoyable thing. It can also be hell. Make the choice. Commit the rest of your days to positive. Live.
