Frequently Asked Questions and Rare Answers

If you haven't read the information related to internal dialogue, press the back button in your browser and go there, then come back here. Before you read the answers, I want you to know that what you are about to read may, in fact almost certainly, not make sense to you. They don't make sense because you have created a logic and certain beliefs about what proper nutrition means, how you should eat, how much you should eat. These beliefs of yours have created a very solid subconscious structure, and the natural tendency of the human mind is to look for logic in everything. Your logic related to nutrition is based on scraps of information, confusion of terms, lack of accurate notions of what macronutrients are, in a word, generalized chaos. Also along the way, if you have the patience to read the materials written by me, you will be left with an enormous amount of information, but you will also find some mistakes related to diacritics, or possibly my way of expressing myself in some sentences. Don't get attached to these details, we are not in the grammar class or composing literary texts, I can promise you that in this project you will find a treasure of information and most importantly I guarantee that you will get in shape. I don't have the skills of a journalist, but I have the knowledge to show your physical form.

1. I use to eat one maximum two meals a day and I gained weight, how is it possible to eat 4 meals and lose weight?

 It is the most frequent question, which I received, from hundreds of people, that's why I start with it. Be careful! The first confusion is that your mind fails to differentiate between a LARGE volume of food having carbohydrates exactly adapted to your weight and a SMALL volume of food containing either too many carbohydrates or too little. If you didn't understand, I'll start again more simply. You eat one meal, maximum two in which you unknowingly either take too many carbohydrates and in this case you gain weight or have too few carbohydrates and in this second case you lose weight in the first phase, then you feel weak, without energy and you will give up! It is one of the two options, the third does not exist!

 

2. Can I eat fruit?

 

 Excluded! If you want to get in shape quickly, and getting in shape means reducing your body weight, by reducing the level of fat, fruits must disappear completely. Your confusion is that you associate fruits with health, true, they are healthy but contain fructose. Fructose is unrefined sucrose or simply unprocessed sugar. Sugar can be obtained from any fruit through processing. Once you introduce fructose into your body, there is an automatic increase in blood sugar, which causes an increase in insulin! As long as blood sugar and insulin remain at a high level, fat loss does not occur. The only fruits that make an exception in your plan will be berries.

 

3. Can I skip some meals? What is the ideal time interval between meals? If I exceed this range what happens?

 

 

I will try to be as simple as possible. Body fat secretes a hormone called Leptin. This hormone reaches the brain, specifically in the hypothalamus, and informs the brain about the amount of fat on the body, which is forced to take action. It would be logical that when you have a high level of fat, you also have a high amount of leptin, and the brain receives an abundance of this hormone, which will accelerate other hormones involved in weight loss, but here there is a process that is difficult to digest by logic. When your body is stressed, no matter what kind of stress, physical or mental, this hormone decreases, sometimes even disappears. At this moment, because the brain no longer receives or receives insufficient leptin, it considers that you no longer have fat, being too thin. In other words, you have enough fat on your body but because you suppressed this hormone due to mistakes, the brain thinks you are too thin. The next step your brain takes is to suppress another hormone called T3, a thyroid hormone involved in metabolic processes. At this moment, your metabolism has the handbrake pulled, and instead of losing weight, you gain weight. I will do my best to find a simpler way to re-explain the explanation. You have more than 30% fat, but the brain because it no longer receives this hormone or too little acts as if you are too thin, triggering a mechanism called fight or flight, as a result it blocks other hormones to keep you alive. When does this process occur? When you eat at intervals exceeding 4 hours for example. Whenever 4 hours have passed, your body goes into this defensive survival mode, causing a chain reaction of these three hormones: leptin, T3, ghrelin. Your logic tells you, you know something, I think it would be good to eat less often, I eat less, I should lose weight, but the body will consider that you eat so rarely because "probably the food source is missing, being in a situation extreme survival' and will do everything to slow it down
