I read that article, and what she talks about is mostly BS, these kinds
of things sound good when you are reading it, but observing objective
reality is the most effective approach. I will use an example below, taking
into account a person for who it is important to have a lean, healthy body,
but they have not become aware of this true desire, completely as of yet

here is what reality is:

1) this person truly wants to create permanent fat loss (primary goal)

2) he/she can observe his/her current circumstances (for example, he/she
has 50 pounds of unwanted body fat, eats twice per day, a super large
breakfast and a super large dinner before hitting the sacks at night. He/she
eats mostly processed carbohydrates, and drinks cola. He/she does not do
any exercise, except walking to the computer in the morning and walking
to bed at night) just a short summary of current reality, obviously there are
many more details if a person has over 50 pounds of unwanted body fat

3) to create permanent fat loss this person will have to do something different
to start moving in the direction of his/her desire, and it will include those
things he/she does not like doing, but he/she will do them because creating
permanent fat loss is primary, and eating right and exercising is secondary!

In other words you eat right and exercise because being lean, and healthy is
more important to you then being comfortable (when you sit on your butt
and do not do anything, and consume more calories than your body burns)

Some people start to eat right, and exercise on a regular basis, and start to
like it, but this should never be confused with what motivates you to do it.
And this motivation comes from wanting an end result...the body of your
dreams...for example for a man about...10% body fat...and for a woman
about 15% body fat

anything else that is not in these *three* things is either concepts or some
kinds of beliefs that have nothing to do with objective reality, but only get in
the way and stop/block the person from seeing his/her true desire
(permanent fat loss).

If a person does not have the skill of viewing *objective* reality, he/she will
never be able to reach and maintain long term results, simply because he/she
will not be able to adjust his/her apporoach the whole time while he/she is
moving toward his/her major health goal. Without knowing where you are in
the present moment it is very difficult to choose your steps in the direction
where you want to go.

Current reality is the only place where we can work on creating a lean,
healthy body and reaching our ideal weight, there are no tricks to this. You
either take action and burn unwanted body fat using the most effective
approach for yourself, or you walk around with this unwanted body fat
forever. And for endomorph dominant body types dieting alone will most likely
never work, and will lead to a loss of 50% muscle, 25% water and only about
25% body fat during the diet.

and when you go off your diet this weight wil come right back, and about ten
more pounds on top, because of the muscle loss and a slow down in your
metabolism. So while it is nice to want to lose body fat by relaxing it off,
this is a desire that does not go very well with objective reality, but instead
lies in the area of subjective reality, and living in an illusion that is not based
on any kinds of facts, but simply on a desire to have a result (which is
primary) without taking secondary steps to bring it into reality!

The biggest problem is that people do not want to eat the little amount of
healthy foods that their bodies can realistically burn during the day, and do
not want to exercise. Without vision and the skill to look where you are in the
present moment, creating a lean, healthy body, or any long term result will
be almost impossible.

The reason is simple, we as humans simply do not like doing certain things,
and if we do not become aware of primary goals and secondary actions,
we can't create long term results. This is very simple to understand, but
not so easy to do!
