"I have gone down almost 3 dress sizes – from a German 48–50 to a 44–46! My proportions have also changed far more than with the usual “normal diets”. I can buy trousers off the rack, which I have not been able to do since I was a child."

"I am overjoyed that I took the step and bought the program. Not only because I have already lost 13 kg, but because I simply feel happier, more relaxed, more confident, more beautiful and more open. I get compliments that are meant sincerely, and I can accept them, because I feel the same way. Thank you for showing me the way into a new life."
Eva
-13 kg
"With the help of the weight training I have lost 13 kilos so far. I now eat much less fat, hardly any sweets, and drink 2–3 liters of water a day. I feel full much sooner, and it does not bother me when everyone around me is eating. I can finally wear short, fitted T-shirts and shorts again! I am so happy! My goal is another 10 kilos, and then I will weigh 65 kg. I know I will manage that too with the Herzog Method."
Sandra M.

"On 21 May I read about Dagmar’s Mental Weight Training for the first time. I listened to the sample straight away and thought: this is it! I have to say it is worth every cent. I have now lost almost 7 kg. Today I went to the outdoor pool with my granddaughter and, for the first time in ages, I felt comfortable in my swimsuit. I am simply happy. I listen to the scenes every day; they are a fixed part of my routine. Thank you, dear Dagmar Herzog."
Karin M.
-3 kg in 7 days
"Instant access, and customer service could not be better – quick, personal answers to my questions. I am only on day 7 and I already notice this: I feel full sooner, I do not overeat, I do not think about food all the time, I can eat one piece of chocolate and leave the rest, I walk past the sweets aisle with no trouble, I have lost 3 kg and I feel like moving more. I AM THRILLED"

Emotional reprogramming through targeted audio exercises

You consciously experience the negative emotions linked to unhealthy eating, in order to break old patterns.
Free sample (in German)
Then you experience positive emotions combined with healthy behavior, to establish a new, healthy emotional program in your subconscious.
Free sample (in German)

“Eat what you want!” – Dagmar Herzog
Diets fight symptoms.
But your eating behavior has an emotional cause:
Stress
Inner restlessness
Loneliness
Reward patterns
Feeling overwhelmed
As long as these stay stored in the subconscious, the cravings keep coming back.
This is exactly where Mental Weight Training comes in.

Many people do not struggle with hunger. They struggle with emotional eating, stress, reward patterns and cravings that show up regardless of real appetite.
Our 3-month training starts exactly there:
Emotional training helps you resolve cravings at the root.
As the old eating pattern grows quieter, your natural sense of hunger and fullness often becomes clearer too.
It is not just the behavior that changes, but the inner connection that has made food so appealing until now.
LUMEUS works toward different inner reactions showing up in stressful moments than food – such as wanting to move or to make a cup of tea.
There are no bans except a ban on diets, because diets slow your metabolism and usually lead to the yo-yo effect.
Once your natural eating behavior is back, you forget about food and only eat when you are hungry.

The method starts where old patterns live – in the subconscious. The aim is to install a new, healthy pattern, so that in future you no longer respond to stress with food.
LUMEUS does not rely on insight alone. Change is meant to be felt, because that is exactly where many eating patterns began.
Over time, more inner space can open up between pressure and eating. For many people, that room to breathe is the real relief.
Negative scenes, positive scenes and Harmonies give the subconscious new emotional directions, instead of just repeating old rules.

Negative scenes, positive scenes and Harmonies give the subconscious new emotional directions, instead of just repeating old rules.
The goal: food loses its role as the quick fix for inner tension.
In guided audio sessions based on the Herzog Method, you experience negative and positive scenes with specially composed music (Harmonies) and strong emotions that lastingly change how you respond emotionally to food.
The founders, Dagmar Herzog and Verena Herzog-Pohl, guide you step by step through the causes of your eating behavior and show you how you can change it yourself, at the level of the subconscious.
In two live coachings, Dagmar Herzog and Verena Herzog-Pohl accompany you personally: to talk through your changes and successes together, answer your questions, release blocks and keep you motivated.

No more feeling stuffed
"My portions have got smaller, I often feel properly thirsty, and I enjoy moving ;-) That stuffed feeling of having eaten too much is gone. Instead I feel a slight pressure that tells me I can stop. The positive scenes and Harmonies match my feelings exactly: beach, forest, relaxation and the beautiful music with them. You have created something wonderful, and I am so glad I found you!!!"

Cravings gone
"It really works. My cravings and the constant thinking about food have said goodbye. But you have to keep at it, as recommended, or everything goes back to how it was. It is worth it! I now much prefer healthy food, and I stop quickly with chocolate and the like – not because I have to, simply because I want to. And I love the positive scenes and the music. Thank you."

Best decision
"Choosing Mental Weight Training was the best decision of my life. The team and Dagmar Herzog herself are warm and supportive. Since then I think so positively, I eat mostly fruit and vegetables, and I love cool, still water. My clothes keep getting looser and the stress with the scales is finally over. I love it."
Andrea S.

Everything you need to know about Mental Weight Training
If you do not want yet another diet, but a deeper change around cravings, emotional eating and inner relief, this is where it starts.
If you would like to know more before you decide, here is the most important background.
The Herzog Method looks at the inner program behind the urge to eat: pressure, comfort, relief and new emotional connections.
If you want to know what LUMEUS is based on, you will find the studies and the most important articles here.
Clear answers about what the training does, what it does not replace, and who it is meant for.
Sometimes what lies beneath an eating pattern is mainly an overloaded stress system. Then it is worth looking at emotional relief as a whole.
Ready? Then start now.
