Preface

Hello! My name is Izhar, and I am one of the founders of Indie Diet. I am 76 years old and have struggled with extreme obesity for most of my life.

After seventy six years of mostly oscillating between obesity and overweight, I recently discovered a very well kept secret that prevents us from having a long time success in shedding body fat, and leading a better, happier life.

I experienced diets, weight loss systems, fad diets, strange diets, even stranger diets, and slimming pills. Countless efforts to lose weight - all without lasting success. My weight went up from seventy-three kilos (160 pounds) in my twenties, to a hundred-twenty-seven kilos (280 pounds) two years ago.

2015: 127 Kgs – 280 lbs

After each failure my weight actually went up, and my wish to fight overweight diminished.

About 1989 I created an international weight loss system, called Trimlines, that was based on healthy, natural, highly nutritional food that had a personalized program tailored made for each client as well as a two year maintenance period with frequent custom one-on-one consultations.

With more than seventy franchises, mainly in Europe, we helped thousands of clients lose their overweight. However after some years, when we looked at the long term results, we discovered that most of the clients abandoned their new eating habits, slid back to eating badly and got overweight again.

The same happened to me when I did the Trimlines weight loss, even though I was very motivated and got the best consultations.

Ever since then I knew that there is something basically wrong with the weight loss industry, even though I continued and tried every new fad diet that came my way, I again came to the same conclusion: Something is awfully wrong!

I realized there was a hidden factor in all diets, pills, and surgeries that prevented people from achieving their best shape and health. I was obsessed with discovering this secret for years!

Archimedes, according to the Greek legend, was taking a bath, when unprepared thought about a method for determining the purity of gold. Such was his surprise and excitement that he jumped out of the bath shouting eureka, I found it!

The same happened to me, although I was not taking a bath at that time.

I applied my new process to myself and lost 42 kilos (92 pounds). To my surprise, it was a faster and much happier journey than I had ever experienced in trying to lose weight.

2023: 85 Kgs – 187 lbs

With these amazing results, I revived my purpose of helping others eradicate overweight and established Indie Diet together with other co-founders.

This book is all about the secret that was revealed to me, and changed my life, and I hope will do the same to you.

P.S.

I want to make it perfectly clear that my intention is to help you achieve your goal. I wrote this book using the simplest terms and language, so nothing delays or stops you. I also made it as short as possible, so as not to postpone the actions you will take as soon as you finish this book.

If you encounter a word you do not understand, please use a dictionary to clarify it. Understanding the data is very important to be able to later on take actions in the right way.

Exposing The Evil Mutant

A bull in a china store is a phrase that indicates careless behavior. Imagine a big clumsy bull moving inside a small shop filled with glassware, and this image paints perfectly the negligent way a person behaves in a delicate situation.

But what if the word bull was stored in your mind as an image of a butterfly? A butterfly is a very gentle, almost weightless creature, and its movements in a china shop full of delicate items would not disturb or break them. Your understanding of the above phrase then will make you think of tender and finely coordinated actions that complement a fragile situation. The opposite of what the phrase meant.

Words are very powerful. They are the basic building blocks of our language, and communication with each other depends on having the same meaning of the word for the person who originates the communication and the person who listens to him. If we do not have the same meaning and definition of a word, a misconception will lead us to not understand the other person and react in some other way.

Having a precise definition for a word prevents misunderstanding and potentially disastrous
