At a Glance
Created by Jon Gabriel -- a once 400-lb. man who lost 220 pounds using this diet --the Gabriel Method is a holistic approach to weight loss that doesn't involve counting calories, but understanding what causes your body to gain weight. According to Gabriel, when you eat less-nutritious foods that contain fewer nutrients, your body stays hungry in order to try and get the nutrients it needs. Outside environmental factors, such as stress, lack of sleep and environmental toxins, also play a hand in gaining weight as well.
By eating the right amount of fresh, healthy foods, as well as using other mind-body strategies -- including visualizing yourself thinner, finding your true purpose in life and managing -- you can stop overeating, speed up your metabolism and balance the levels of insulin and leptin in your body (two hormones that contribute to weight loss).
