MTT and Kicking the Grain Habit Today

Do you know that you can “tap” your way to overcoming your grain addiction for good?

Top health expert Dr. Joseph Mercola delivers the good news: while a grain-free diet may be a Herculean task for those who have grown accustomed – or addicted, more likely – to their grains and sugars, the Meridian Tapping Technique or MTT (also known as the Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT) could be used to recondition the mind and to not succumb to the cravings anymore.

Why the No-Grain Diet Spells Success
Why do some diets fail to deliver their lofty promises of weight loss?

Dr. Mercola recounts that low-carb diets have been around for the longest time, but have remained limited to controlling gram count. Weight loss is thus pegged on the idea of staying below a given number of carbohydrate food’s gram count each day.

Proposing a revolutionary weight loss program in his book, The No-Grain Diet: Conquer Carbohydrate Addiction and Stay Slim For Life, Dr. Mercola believes that to merely address the WHAT of eating and to ignore the WHY of being delirious for pecan pie or that tall stack of pancakes is not the best way to promote weight loss in the long term.

In short, weight loss goes beyond gram count. The No-Grain Diet satisfies this by penetrating cravings, emotional eating triggers, and beliefs, and being able to turn all these around into a positive lifestyle philosophy. 

Recognizing them as interconnected, functioning entities, Dr. Mercola finds the need to harness the body, mind and emotions as the key to successfully shedding the extra pounds. Your weight problems should be tackled on different levels:

•    BODY - Is your digestion and metabolism telling your body to store fat after an overwhelm of excessive grains and sugars?
•    MIND - Do your beliefs state that it is impossible for you to permanently lose weight?
•    EMOTIONS - What negative feelings or situations prompt your system to crave for sweets and to indulge recklessly?

The No-Grain Diet gets to the bottom of the problem, satisfying the questions of what you eat, why you eat, and how your cells are reprogrammed into wanting the proper food.

Fight the Grain Habit through MTT
The Meridian Tapping Technique is one of the basic tools of the No-Grain Diet, which will help you eliminate all the barriers to optimal health.

MTT is a form of psychological acupressure popularly used for concerns such as improving sleep and marital counseling. The practice is akin to traditional Chinese practice, which identifies acupuncture points to help energy flow smoothly through meridians.

MTT is easy to learn. Using all four fingers of both hands, tap five to seven times each of your body’s nine acupuncture points: the top of the head, eyebrows, and the area under both eyes, to name a few. While you tap, identify the cravings needed to be eliminated and form your healing statement, such as “Even though I crave for this slice of chocolate cake, I deeply and completely accept myself.”

MTT may be done whenever your cravings get in the way of your No-Grain Diet. Perform this healing tool as often as 10 to 20 times a day for up to five days, and you will be surprised at how it addresses the very core of your food addictions and gives you a new, grain-free lease of life.

Dr. Mercola says that being escapist is the last thing that can help you in your grain addiction. No matter what craving it is – perhaps an insatiable desire for pizza or doughnuts that has consumed you for years – it needs to be properly recognized to get going on the No-Grain Diet and the journey to weight loss.
