Reasonable people ask reasonable questions.
Indeed, if you already have failed one or more weight loss diets, why
would this one perform any better? Pretty simple — my program
outperforms popular diets because it doesn't overpromise and doesn't
make the same logistical, clinical, and physiological errors that they
routinely do. Watch on...

Review Frequently Asked Question.
Transcripts
Greetings,
In this episode I will address the question that
invariably comes up after people learn about my weight loss program, and
particularly about its “no fail” claim.
— Come on, Konstantin, diets don‘t work. What does make
your program any different?
Well, I actually agree with this unfortunate
observation. Popular diets, indeed, don‘t work for most people. On top,
all diets, even very brief ones, reduce energy and structural metabolism
by turning on the “hibernation” gene — our evolutionary response to
hunger and deprivation.
That is why so many people end up piling up more and
more fat after each successive diet, as was the case with the
collaboration between Kristie Alley and the Jenny Craig diet [link], or Oprah
Winfrey‘s well-documented rollercoaster with dieting [link], and with so many
other public figures and celebrities.
So let me address this “diets don‘t work” paradox head
on, and explain the differences between my “ no fail” weight loss
program, and the well known diets, such as the Atkins Diet, Ornish,
South Beach, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem, and so many
others:
— First, unlike heavily promoted weight loss diets,
my program is not designed or intended for vanity reasons, which is what
cosmetic weight loss actually is, but for reversing and preventing
metabolic disorders, which is what obesity, pre-diabetes, and type 2
diabetes are. When using this approach, the weight loss itself is not
the end goal, but simply a serendipitous benefit of gradual healing and
recovery from these undeniably morbid conditions.
— Second, unlike all prominent weight loss diets, my
program recognizes that accomplishing complete and permanent weight loss
is a difficult, unglamorous, and slow enterprise, and that you cannot
attain lasting weight loss on a “luxurious diet” that consists of four
delicious meals and two satisfying snacks daily.
— Third, unlike fad diets that rely on a simplified
one-diet-fits all approach, my program recognizes that weight loss is
not just a matter of consuming less calories, but is also a complex
hereditary, environmental, cultural, gender, and age-related phenomenon,
and that eating less is only one part of “no fail” weight loss.
— Fourth, unlike diets that rely on frenetic pep talk
to overcome ravaging hunger, incessant cravings, and run-away appetite,
my program concentrates on eliminating these mind-altering conditions
first. You really cannot lose weight while chained to your fridge.
— Fifth, unlike popular weight loss diets that begin
with the immediate restriction of calorie intake, my program begins by
eliminating the primary causes of your persistent inability to lose
weight, such as elevated levels of insulin, unstable blood sugar, low
rate of energy metabolism, systematic undernutrition, anemia, and some
others. You cannot attain a normal weight without reversing these
conditions first.
— Six, unlike deceptive diets that promote easy to
attain initial weight loss, my program specifically concentrates on the
loss of body fat. I explain the striking differences between these two
radically different approaches in the “How To Overcome A Weight Loss
Plateau and Ensuing Diet Failure” episode.
— Finally, seventh, unlike weight loss diets that are
built around menu planning, calorie counting, cooking, and eating, my
program is built around your personal health history, weight loss goals,
and innate ability to lose weight.
For those and many other critical reasons my program
relies on meticulous attention to detail, thorough planning, and start
to finish professional counseling. Accordingly, it is executed in the
following four sequential steps:
● Step #1 is assessing your health and weight loss
history. Based on the information you provide in the
Health History Questionnaire, your counselor will be able to determine and calculate the approximate duration of
transitional and reduced calorie diets, preempt some of the probable
obstacles, eliminate diet spoilers, normalize metabolism to enhance the
rate of weight loss, and so on.
These findings become the core
of your personalized weight loss plan. Going into an extended weight
loss program without such a preliminary workout is like trying to fix a
car blindfolded.
● This brings us to Step #2 — a detailed interview
and discussion of your weight loss objectives based on the information
provided in the Questionnaire and determined by the Plan. This step is
required for developing a transitional diet that matches your personal
preferences, your health history, and weight loss goals.
Starting a weight loss program
without a meticulously executed transitional diet, however long it may
take, is just as practical as using Tylenol to treat heartburn — this
may blunt the burn for a while, but eventually will hurt even more.
● Next, we proceed to executing a transitional diet,
or Step #3. The duration and complexity of this step are both determined
during the prior two steps, and adjusted in the process.
Your age, gender, height, body
morphology, rate of metabolism, digestive health, medications, endocrine
functions, and degree of compliance determine the length and the scope
of the transitional diet.
A properly executed transition
is especially important if you are already affected by pre-diabetes or
diabetes for numerous reasons I already explained in the “Seven Steps
Behind Weight Loss Program For Diabetes Reversal” episode.
● We complete the program with Step #4 by finalizing
and executing a reduced calorie diet. At this point you and I will be
able to determine the actual content — meaning composition and calories
count — of this diet.
Also, by that time, both of us
will have a good understanding of your nominal nutritional needs, your
rate of daily fat loss, the extent of your intolerance or tolerance for
sustenance diet, and the degree of your compliance over the long term.
If all prior steps are
completed well, and you are still relatively young and healthy, this
last step runs itself out pretty much on autopilot. If not, or if there
are any exceptions along the way, I will be standing by to make
necessary adjustments to get you back on track.
After all is said and done, your inherent ability to
lose weight, recover from diabetes, and rebuild health throughout these
four steps boils down to a simple principle set forth by this elegant
quote: “Success is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.”
In other words, while you will be doing “ ordinary
things,” such as eating less, my program assures that you will be doing
them “extraordinary well.” [link]
To learn even more about what sets my unique weight
loss program further apart from all other popular diets, please review
the companion web page of this episode (See
FAQ). There, you will find a list of
answers to related questions, such as:
— Konstantin, I am convinced! How do I start with
your program?
— But I don‘t have pre-diabetes or diabetes. Can I
still use your program to lose weight?, or…
— What is the cost of your program?, or...
— How long does it take to complete the
transitional diet in Step #3?
— How long does it take to complete the reduced
calorie diet in Step #4?
— But what about my “hibernation” gene? How can I
turn it off? Next...
— I was on many diets, and was never able to lose
weight. Will your program be any different?
— Konstantin, regardless of diet, I was never able to lose the
last 5 to 10 pounds. Will I be confronting the same problem on your
program again?
— And, finally, do you guarantee results? Will I get my money
back if I fail to lose weight?
And if all that is not enough, you will find even more
answers on other pages related to my program. I really don‘t shy away
from difficult, inconvenient, or controversial questions because, as one
famous clothing retailer keeps repeating in its television commercials,
“An educated consumer is our best customer! (Syms Corporation)”
So, thank you for watching, and considering my weight
loss program. I hope it will transform your body the same way it has
transformed my own, and that you will remain slim, vibrant, and happy
for the rest of your long and healthy life!
This time around, you finally can!
