Preview The Gabriel Method: The Revolutionary DIET-FREE Way to Totally Transform Your Body
Praise for Jon Gabriel and THE GABRIEL METHOD . . . I cannot thank you enough for assisting me in “flicking my thin switch back on.”. . .I’ve not dieted for 2 weeks and lost 15.5 pounds. . . . I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. —Sarah Toohey I find the most powerful parts are the visualization and mental aspects you teach. . . . Your book has been a revelation as far as explaining why I have had trouble losing weight. . . . I have lost about 15 pounds so far, and I now have a plan that I know . . . will get me long-term results without as much pain. —Dave Parkes I have lost another 3 pounds this week, despite indulging my cravings for chocolate. Fifty-five pounds total so far! I’m feeling better and better every day, and I have no loose skin! Thanks so much. . . . You inspire me every day! —Denise Bullen I bought your book last Monday and it is AMAZING. People like you really do make an impact on the world. You have covered the very thing that everyone else misses—the mind–body connection. —Jodi Bell Finally, a book that deals with the root causes of why people hang on to the fat. —Nicola Allen I have been reading your book . . . and gradually implementing the recommendations you make. . . . So far I’ve lost around 20 to 22 pounds within about seven weeks. —David Buchbinder I lost 113 pounds in about six months and I’ve kept it off for a year now. Also, my blood sugar levels went from a dangerously high 19 down to 6. I’m now within the normal range. They say I still have diabetes but I don’t think I do. —Amanda Pierce I have read your book and love the concept. I have been going down the natural, organic path for a while now and have already lost 44 pounds just by NOT dieting and [by] eating foods closer to the earth. . . . I . . . truly believe you have found the key. . . . I gave up smoking two and a half years ago following a very similar concept . . . mind power as opposed to will power. . . . The mind is very powerful—thanks for writing this book. —Tanya Faulkner I have often thought that there was so much more to weight loss than counting calories. I often thought that emotional issues played a big part in weight gain/loss, but finding help with these issues was difficult until I read your book. Thanks you so much for all of the work that you have done so people like me can finally get the help that we need. You are truly an inspiration. —Jacinta O’Leary I cannot believe how much I’m not hearing food calling to me!! I’m craving good food just like you told me I would, and . . . I now look at my body and know it’s already working hard to become the body I want and need it to be. —Alison dall Stosic I am astounded at the difference [your method] has made to my life. I have lost 15 pounds so far, and I just don’t have the hunger pains I always used to have. . . . It really does work. . . . It is just too easy. Thank you so much for sharing your story with the world. I will be spreading the word. —Melinda Clarke THE GABRIEL METHOD The Revolutionary DIET-FREE Way to Totally Transform Your Body THE GABRIEL METHOD Jon Gabriel AT R I A B O O K S New York London Toronto Sydney Hillsboro, Oregon A Division of Simon & Schuster, Inc. 20827 N.W.
