Using Sowilo for weight loss?

[Ignisalas]

Im a few days into using the Sowilo rune for weight loss. I vibrate it 80 times and affirm 8 times "The energy of the rune sowilo is speeding up my body's metabolism in a healthy and positive way for me"

I thought I should use the Sowilo rune for this kind of thing, but does anyone else have any suggestions about using other runes for this? Which rune could I use to target body fat all by itself?

It’s a special kind of rune, called diet

Yes, proper food intake and exercise are the physical ways of losing weight physically.

If you have an imbalance somewhere, SOWILO can be used to heal problems, helping out..but it's no magic bullet. Otherwise, runes to give energy for exercising and the impetus to actually get up and go, will/might help.

If you combine this with a proper and healthy diet you will eventually see the results you desire.

I don't know why everyone in here when it come to diet they say to not do magick, why? Magic can help in so many way, for example if your metabolism is making you fat then a working could change that or it could change other things like make you really stick with a diet. What i'm trying to say is that a working is useful in many ways. Doing both diet and a working it's the best, not everyone has a willpower to do a diet and a working could give him that. Hope i'm clear enough.

because people, myself included, think that magic is the cure-all for physical things..i wish i could just do magic itself and that be enough, but most things need fixing on multiple levels/planes..

I understand but of course only magic is not the cutez like i said magic and doing something phisicaly is the best.

You need to work both on the spiritual, mental and physical. Otherwise, it won't work or it will be too weak or slow and you'll give up eventually. That's why a physical approach is also included when replying to posts. As for losing weight, one shouldn't think about that. What is to lose is excessive amounts of fat, not weight overall. Weight is made of lean mass and fat mass. Fat mass is body fat; lean mass is bones, muscles and the rest. If you lose muscles, you become weaker. and certainly no one wants to lose bones.

What's the point of this answer?
I would obviously think Ignisala considered diet and food for loosing weight, and is asking for Magickal help.

So back to the main question, apart of Runes, I would add that Air element seems helpful to speed up metabolism, as it generally "speeds up" nervous processes and consequently energy consumption. Also empowering the Troath chakra, as it's linked to the tyroid gland and the Air elements itself, may increase metabolism.
Go slow with that, as too much Air will make you overactive or nervous.

Last advice, might be obvious anyway, simply walking on daily basis (or, better, practicing an aerobic sport wiith mid-low heart rate) for at least 30 minutes, helps boosting metabolism.

I always say the same when I see this question, maybe she thinks that all she can do is a magickal working and poof she lost weight, maybe not either way it’s not negative to remind people of the physical part of it.

The Uruz rune can be used to improve athletic performance and you can do a magical job to help you lose weight,along with proper diet and exercise.
You can use an affirmation similar to this one: "in a safe and healthy way I am losing my excess of weight and body fat"

You are right, just like even if you do a money working for 6473737373 days if you don't get the fuck up and go out and talk to people and try to do something money it's not going to magicaly materialize on your lap :lol:

You just should have worded it differently.

The point is it works. But then I should clarify some things.

"Dieting" NEVER works. That's because with dieting you are temporarily modifying your eating habits with a set goal in mind, which can seldom be characterized as "healthy." Most people who are "dieting" either give up on the way or when they think they've achieved their goal. That usually happens because the "diet" was centered around calorie control and physical exercise. When the hotfix stops, the weight comes back with a vengeance.

A real diet is a way of eating, not a temporary fix. What animal counts calories and jogs for one hour every day? Dogs can eat as much as you give them and then lay in the sun for the rest of the day, without fattening. That of course if you're feeding them real meat, not soy pellets.

The human digestive system is very flexible, but it's otherwise closer to canines than anything else. That's why animal products do not cause stomach bloating, and, compared to bowls of rice, you can eat several stakes without much effort. A healthy stomach pH can also dissolve bones easily (unless they're cooked).

The least that someone can do if they want to lose weight is to dissociate the consumption of carbohydrates from the consumption of fats. The better version would be to ditch the carbs completely. We weren't designed to eat processed grass and tubers.

Very well said

I'm someone that's comfortable eating a lot of meat, though should lay off the carbs/fats/oils and add fruits and vegetables in, but..how much meat are we designed to take in? I don't mind eating the stuff daily, good chunks of it, but there's a lot of disinformation (lies) on how much we SHOULD consume..

If I remember correctly what HP Mageson 666 said... He said that our diets should consist of 25% meat and the rest is vegetables.

Tho, if one has a link to that, please share it! Thank you!

 

[Adrellis]

I remember a bit of that..but it was 20/20/60 or 25/25/50, fruit/meat/vegetable respectively.

then i am eating too much meat, or rather, not enough of the other stuff. alright, thanks

I just put some ideas out there for people based on realistic information not trends or diet fads. However it seems that if you take processed food out of your diet you will do great.

Fire speeds up the metabolic rates in the east Agni rules this. However with diet consider health if you eat healthy you will not over eat. Processed food is full of excessive calories.

Stupid shit like the carnivore diet is the other side of the coin of veganism.
