You know, I do believe in meditative visualization. Practicing it can help rewire your brain into rewarding the processes (releasing dopine, endorphins, adrenaline, etc) to get you there. Visualizing a smaller weight can aid with wanting to eat less and exercise more both consciously and subconsciously. Visualizing winning a competition puts you in better standing mentally to react how and do what you need to during the competition (versus visualizing losing). But it absolutely is not remotely close to everything. It's a subconscious aid.    This article, however, is 100% shit and a very dangerous thing to be written.
