Coaching and training thousands of people towards permanent weight loss has taught me valuable lessons.  After several years, I began to notice distinct differences in the way my male and female clients approached weight loss and found success.

I realized my male clients often followed a less complicated, linear pattern towards weight loss.

My female clients got stuck in circles of complicated emotions and layers of confusing responsibilities.

My male clients understood diets and controlling food.  They thrived on structure and command.  Food rarely has  emotional connection or implication for most men.

My female clients yearned for true nourishment and were fulfilled by the experience of caring deeply for themselves.

My male clients wanted to earn something.

My female clients needed to grow into a new attitude before they could lose weight and keep it off.

The physical and mental aspects of weight loss tend to come easier to men.  We’re talking about a diet and some willpower.

Women, who are stronger in the emotional and spiritual realms, naturally rebel against diets, constriction and deprivation.

The reason men find it easier and women find the opposite is because diets originate from male energy.

Is it any wonder 99% of women who lose weight on a restrictive diet regain the weight?  Another fact: obese women far outnumber obese men, which I believe correlates to the fact they diet more often and more drastically.  We’ve seen the unfortunate results of harsh, restrictive dieting in the obesity numbers we face today.

Results are determined by connecting to our true power, our deepest energy source, our soul energy.  For females to attempt to adopt male energy, characterized by focused, linear thinking, control, counting and dominance with a strict diet, is a recipe for disaster.

Female energy is characterized by receptivity, resilience, open spaces, holistic thinking, and emotional involvement.  These are deeply valuable intrinsics, but they also complicate weight loss, sometimes even making it impossible.

As with life, balance is the key.  And self-awareness.  A truly successful person uses their energy in productive ways, to get the results s/he wants.

The first key is knowing and understanding how our energy runs, how it influences actions, and how to attain self-empowerment.
