a314 and losing weight, anyone had this experience too?

maybe im imagining it because my postures better? standing straighter making me look leaner…

any other pheros help with dieting?

peoples experiences with a314/ IFM combo.

ive has very good reposnes, but also very bad responses…and cant pinpoint y…so guys tell me your experiences with this interesting combo..
1..im thinking IS wouldve buffered any bad response.
2. iFM and build up/ OD issues??

Can’t say what’s happening with you, but good posture does help make people look and feel better.

Need a bit more detail. What combo, what dosages, what responses good and bad?

That is an excellent question, and one I’ve been meaning to ask myself. I could stand to lose a few pounds, and I wondered if some of the social mones could help. Your theory regarding posture is pretty right on. I’ve noticed with MX102 and A314 that I’m not only standing tall mentally, but also physically.

It could be that the added confidence these give the wearer could spawn a more enthusiastic desire to lose weight. It’s been my own experience that when feeling really confident, I’m also actively searching for ways to increase it. Confidence for me is like safe crack. The more I have, the more I want, and it doesn’t take much self-motivation to get me to do other things that increase my own confidence.

For many people, weight gain is a result of extended depression. Anything that cheers you up will make you less likely to overeat. More precisely, i should say that its easier to resist overeating when youre already happy.

Wow, I’ve been thinking about this same subject. I’m very overweight but I started walking and cut out soft drinks and other empty carbs last March. I hit a plateau in late July after losing about 25 lbs. I wasn’t worried about the plateau but I set myself a goal of not gaining anything for a month just to reinforce my “determination”. I met that goal and got myself a “reward” for that… a $200+ androtics order. a314 was my first test and the first day out I started getting a LOT of compliments on my weight loss. Cool beans, but it had been over a month since I had gotten any but the occasional compliment from someone who hadn’t seen me in a while so I definitely chalked the extra compliments up to the a314. Up till then it had also been a daily and sometimes hourly fight with myself about temptation. After that wave of compliments the fight got much easier. I didn’t start thinking the pheros were part of the reason my willpower got a boost until I started testing other pheros without the a314. It’s really a subtle thing and hard to figure whether the precise mechanism is just a confidence boost or if there is a more direct effect on cravings but I’m sure I have a much easier time staying on my program when I am using a314 regularly. I also think Instant Openness works against me unless I’m also using a314. YMMV. Sorry for the long post but I have been thinking about this for awhile and trying to get a feel for exactly what was happening. Oh yeah, I’ve broken the plateau and lost 2 belt holes worth in the last few weeks :slight_smile:. Best of thoughts to any of you who are working to lose weight.

I can’t believe I let this go by without a response. Great report, renny! Reps to you for that. I’m about 80 lbs overweight myself, but for the last week, I’ve lost about 10 lbs. Now, I HAVE been sick with a nasty cold, but my appetite hasn’t been affected by that much. Some things I have made a point to do is cut out practically all sugar, limit myself to 1 can of diet Mountain Dew per day, drink half my body weight in ounces of water a day, and don’t eat anything a minimum of 3 hours before going to bed.

The value of the psychological impact of receiving compliments for weightloss is immeasurable, and if a good phero serves as the lure for attracting them, all the better!

I though i was imagining things as well. but i do walk and sit taller, feel more important and swagger a lot more when i am wearing Alpha, dont know about weight loss.

I haven’t gained or lost a pound in about a year. I can eat as much as I want and nothing happens to my weight.. . after a trip to the bathroom :smiley:. But this a314 phenomenon, I do think that it may cause you to force yourself into a more ‘alpha’ position, which makes you burn more calories.

thats just good genes

I don’t wear jeans, LOL.

Actually, my father is a tad overweight, my mother is a tad overweight, my older brother is overweight, so is my other older brother.
I’m 5’9" 130lbs.
My little brother is nothing but skin & bones, by littler brother is prolly going to be overweight by the looks of it, and my baby sister. . .I dunno.

So it’s not my jeans :smiley:.

Your corduroys, perhaps?
