There's a lot of people in here talking about fitness, fasting, etc. but it really just comes down to calories in, calories out.
You have to acknowledge what you're eating and what it does to your body. Calling out yourself, and the foods you eat.
All you need is:
Yeah, #4 is the real trick there. Self control, discipline, sacrifice. None of those things are easy. It's very simple and straightforward yes, but not easy.
People seem to equate being simple with being easy. Smoking cigarettes? Just stop. Losing money gambling? Just don't gamble. Alcoholic? Just don't drink. All very straightforward and clear paths forward, all very difficult for an average person to accomplish.
The magic number for me was "calories per kilo". I made a list (I'm sure you could just Google it now) of foods graded by calories per kilo, and just ate the lowest ones.
And presto: suddenly you're full much faster, longer and you're losing weight.
Then it was a matter of not snacking out of habit, which is MUCH harder. Of course, you can't eat food you didn't buy, so i really only diet at the supermarket.
But getting into shape is basically a cheat code. By packing on more muscle you're increasing the amount of calories your body burns just existing.
And depending on the workout you can burn an entire meals worth of calories.
Working out isn't required to lose weight, but it does make it a hell of a lot easier.
To be fair, getting into share is more like two cheat codes: in the path to achieve it, you also build up discipline.
Yup, find a good workout plan with a diet plan to go with it and kill two birds with one stone. Although my personal recommendation would be a mix and match with AthleanX (AX-1) as the workout plan and the P90X diet plan.
And yes, I know that Jeff has some YouTube drama about creating issues to make videos on, but his plans are solid. AX-1 is basically the physical therapy handbook with weights.
No it does not. Of course you can, and should of the best of your ability control how much calories, goes in but there is two ends to a digestive system.
A healthy body evacuate from the other end of the system most the excess calories taked in. If your body doesn't do that. There is something wrong with it.
That is absolutely not true to the point that you're describing a serious disease as health. A healthy body will generally desire only the amount of calories it has been using or slightly more. A healthy body may use excess calories for muscle building or other constructive activities. But if you are defecating digestible calories, you need to speak to a physician (though you're only likely to learn about this via a stool analysis). This is famously one of the more dangerous symptoms of advanced crohns disease, but it could be an issue of any number of disorders of the digestive system.
The human body has varied efficiencies of calorie absorption, some people have less or more efficient bodies. If you can't gain weight when honest calorie counting and genuinely increasing your intake, maybe you just have a weirdly variable metabolism, but you may find difficulty doing things that require extra calories like recovering from injury or illness or building muscle.
It really doesn't. Your body is amazingly efficient, and it really only stops absorbing nutrients if you're very sick, or doing something moronic like drinking a few glasses of oil a day.
