So, Why DO We Get Fat?

[Karl12]

Hippocrates: “Let Food be Your Medicine, and Medicine be Your Food”.

Mate, maybe one of the most important quoted ever from a single human.

It may have been a bad idea for you (or badly implemented), but the only time I was on a diet I lost 30 Kg and didn't have any health problems because of that.

There is an underlying problem that cannot be corrected by cutting calories. Doing this exposes one’s body to greater health adversity.

Now the ancient texts may say a “fast” is how to fix this underlying problem.

That “fast” is what I call monk mode.

Oh it’s starving the underlying problem for sure.

But it is foolish to think starving one self of basic nutrition is a healthy life choice.

- Fat is a buffer. It stores not only energy, but unprocessed toxins. Don't burn it too quickly, and when you do stay extra hydrated and keep your filter organs (kidney, liver, etc) happy.

- Learn hunger again. Modern food additives really mess with the sense of hunger. Get rid of things that do that, and re-learn how and when to eat.

- Moderate. Learn to recognize satiation, another thing food additives mess with. Fill you stomach 1/3 food, 1/3 water, and 1/3 nothing at all.

- For goodness sake avoid corn syrup entirely.

- (Expert mode) Look for the "TM" symbol on the food you buy. That's means that eating any amount of it is "Too Much".

- As I mentioned before, breathe. Exhaling CO2 is how weight is really lost.

- If you follow the above you can ignore the "calories in, calories out" garbage.
