			 What Is This Program About? Have you ever reduced your weight using a 'weight loss' system only to be disappointed when you went back to your old eating patterns and regain the fat? Or worse still, gained more fat when you lost? if you have or if you are about to start your first 'weight loss' attempt and you want to avoid this unhappy 'yo-yo' effect, then SlimMinds® is for you. Our combined experience of hundreds of clients who have been through the 'yo-yo' effect with well known 'weight loss' systems has motivated us to develop the SlimMinds®Program. Most traditional 'weight loss' systems do help to educate people about healthy eating options and how physical activity (exercise) is beneficial. But almost all of those systems still rely almost entirely on your 'willpower' to change the old eating habits and avoid fattening foods. And there you have the problem! At some point you will start to be distracted by holidays, visitors, family crises, moving house, Christmas parties etc. Then you’ll relax your willpower and cease the diet system and exercise regimen. You’ll revert back to your old eating patterns because the habits haven’t really been removed or changed. This is where SlimMinds® is different. The SlimMinds® Program focuses on shape-change through the use of psychological techniques. The techniques increase the success of long-term physical and emotional change. And once you’ve learned them you can continue to use them for all areas of your life. Research has long indicated that the preconscious mind, also referred to as the subconscious or unconscious, plays an extraordinary role in our everyday thoughts, beliefs and feelings. What goes on in the preconscious mind governs how we reduce fat, how long it will last, and whether or not we even get started! 
	 
	 
			
			
			Utilizing the preconscious mind to change eating patterns and habits 
			has been shown to be easy and quick to apply. The 
			
			SlimMinds® 
			Program is the best first step you can take for whatever changes you 
			want to make in your life. If you’re going to start one of the 
			traditional ‘weight loss’ 
			systems, the 
			
			SlimMinds® 
			Program will enhance the benefits you get. With 
			
			SlimMinds® 
			you’ll learn techniques that can help you to remove the physical 
			desire for certain unhealthy foods and you can make behaviours, like 
			drinking water and doing physical activity, naturally pleasant. 
			
			The 
			
			SlimMinds® 
			
			Program is provided in a group 
			format. There are a few Program scenarios including six two-hour 
			sessions over several weeks and a combination of full-day Programs 
			and full-day with some follow-up two-hour sessions. Each scheduled 
			Program will indicate what the attendance times and dates are. 
			
			The 
			
			SlimMinds® 
			
			Program is also offered in 
			accelerated versions (e.g. weekend courses). Our research has shown 
			that these groups are just as effective. You 
			
			meet on a Saturday (for example) for 6 hours and then the following 
			Saturday for 6 hours and have the follow-up session or check-in with 
			the facilitator some weeks later.  Please 
			review the Find a Group Page to see when the next weekend course is 
			on in your area. 
			
			Participants in the Program
			receive a 
			
			Participant Manual which includes all information presented and CD’s 
			of all psychological techniques. 
			
			The 
			
			SlimMinds™ 
			Program is not a replacement for your doctor’s advice nor is it a 
			replacement for any medication or medical regimen you are 
			undertaking. If you have a current medical condition or any 
			pre-existing conditions, whether physical, emotional or mental, that 
			is of concern to you, please seek the advice of your medical 
			practitioner before commencing the 
			
			
			SlimMinds®
			
			
			Program.
