What do I do with loose/excess skin?
Jon lost all of his weight gradually over two years. That, coupled with eating live, healthy, vibrant foods, helped his skin slowing adjust to his new body. Every person´s body is different, however, it is not impossible to lose weight and have your skin adjust properly.
When is the best time to Meditate/Visualize?
It would be best to meditate when you are not doing anything else, so that you can sit quietly. You can meditate as often as you want – though the best times are immediately upon waking (as you are not fully awake your subconscious is more receptive) and just before going to sleep (its an excellent way to relax – this is where Jon’s evening visualization is so effective). You can also meditate for as little as 5 minutes and for as long as 2 hours (Jon often does this). If time is an issue try fitting in a 5 or 10 minute one here and there.
I have sleep apnea, will this affect my aim to lose weight?
If you have sleep apnea Jon highly recommends using a CPAP machine when sleeping. Having sleep apnea makes it extremely difficult to lose weight as the tiredness that results has tremendous physiological affects on your body’s ability to maintain hormone levels, insulin resistance being one of these side effects. When you are tired you are also more likely to crave unhealthy fats and sugars.
Will not being a native English speaker affect the results of the visualization?
You should do what feels right for you as there is no right or wrong when visualizing. If you can sit and just relax, listen and feel you are getting the most from the meditation/visualization, then you should do this or if you need to translate the meaning in your head while listening, then that can work as well.

Jon Gabriel is not alone in his success. He has helped people from every age, gender, geographical location and lifestyle to lose weight and keep it off! You are not too young or too old, it doesn’t matter if you are male or female, and you can live anywhere in the world.

What is The F.A.T. Trigger Quiz?
What is The F.A.T. Trigger Quiz?
The F.A.T. Trigger quiz is a series of questions the Gabriel Method use to know the underlying causes of your weight problem.
FAT stands for “Famine And Temperature”. In our distant past, it was advantageous for these programs to be on. During famines and ice ages, having excess fat on your body helped keep you alive, so a fat storage survival mechanism came into play. Even though today most of us no longer have things like famines to worry about, these FAT Programs are still very much a part of our genetic inheritance. When the FAT Programs are on, certain subtle hormonal and chemical changes take place in your body that will virtually ensure that you get fat and stay fat. Diet and exercise are a like a bandage that covers the problem short term, but long term, to lose weight and keep it off, you must treat the underlying causes of your weight problem.
You can take the quiz here: http://www.thegabrielmethod.com/fat-trigger-quiz

Why should we avoid gluten?
Here are a few of the down sides of gluten:
1. It may block your body’s absorption of some nutrients
2. It may interfere with your digestion
3. It contains certain enzymes or properties that may cause the lining of your intestines to become more permeable.
4. It may cause inflammation in your system
Jon tries to avoid gluten for these reasons.

Can I listen to the visualizations if I have a Pacemaker?
We do not recommend anyone with a pacemaker listening to our standard visualizations. However there is actually the option to download the meditation audios without the background music. It is the background music that possibly could affect a pacemaker – as there is a frequency to the music. This is something you could also check with your Doctor. Please email help@thegabrielmethod.com for Visualizations without music.
Is talking out loud important, to communicate with your body?
You don´t need to speak out loud for your subconscious mind to hear yourself, but sometimes speaking out loud can also help your conscious mind hear your message as well.
I have Epilepsy, is it safe to use visualizations?
If you have epilepsy, we recommend you do not use the visualizations as they can affect people with epilepsy. Many people though have been successful without the visualization just by reading the book alone.
We also have visualizations without music (which is what can cause an issue). Please email help@thegabrielmethod.com for more information about these visualizations.
