Introduction
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if life allowed you to eat whatever you want without gaining a single pound? It would be bliss wouldn’t it?
You no longer have to worry about watching your weight, or searching through the refrigerator for a low-calorie snack because you’re almost at your limit, or having to exercise those excessive calories off, or having to painfully decide whether or not you should eat that delicious cake sitting on your kitchen table waiting for you to come take a piece of it.
Unfortunately, life does not work that wonderfully because even if you didn’t have to worry about the calories that you’re gaining, then you would have to worry about the type of food that you’re putting in your body.
Well, it’s obvious by now that losing weight isn’t easy. If this is your first diet then welcome aboard and hope that you’ll stay on.
If this isn’t your first diet then please continue and figure out the reason as to why your previous methods have not worked. Yes it does suck that losing weight isn’t as easy as gaining weight.
It’s harder to put off the amount of calories that you’re eating per day than to gain additional calories in one day. We all want weight loss to be simple and it has been wrongly emphasized that weight loss works best when you eat less and work out more.
It’s also been wrongly emphasized that diet pills will help you lose weight. Honestly, if the concept of weight loss was that simple then how would obesity be possible?
Sadly, obesity is possible and it’s occurring on a daily basis. The reason is due to the high level of fast food restaurants located all around us. However, before we can move into the deeper portion of the weight loss system, we have to know the basis of why our bodies make it difficult for us to lose weight in the first place.
The reason is simply due to our ancestors. That’s right. It’s their fault and the environment they were raised in. Due to the lack of available food back then, our ancestors made sure to eat as much food as possible before their starvation period started again.
From there, their body starts to store what was known as fat. In order for them to survive, their bodies were never programmed to set a limit on the amount of fat they could accumulate all at one time.
Unfortunately, now in the present day era, we no longer suffer through the starvation period. We have plenty of foods available to us and it’s both cheap and easy to obtain.
Therefore, if we try to move our body into the starvation period in order to lose weight, we’ll actually be gaining more weight because our metabolism will slow down and our remaining muscle will turn into fat in order for our body to save us from dying.
Even if we were to exercise on a consistent basis in order to rid ourselves of the excessive fat, we will still have to maintain an extreme level of willpower in order to continue on the diet trend. Of course, what can rapid weight loss also do to our immune system?
A few risks that you should definitely keep in mind are: kidney failure, depression, anorexia, and anxiety. A bigger risk that you should also keep in mind is that once you’ve lost all that weight in that short amount of time, it can bounce right back at you times two.
So before you move those fingers of yours to flip the page, ask yourself this: do you want to move quickly with difficultly, or do you want to move slowly and easily? Think about it for a moment because you wouldn’t want to start emphasizing the “die” in the word diet.
Chapter 1: Weight Loss Negativity
This is the first chapter; the chapter where you will start to gain the basic knowledge of why you have failed before and what you shouldn’t do so that you don’t fail again.
Since you’re here, it means that you have accepted the fact that weight loss will take time. You will not be able to lose weight quickly but slowly, and what you are doing is making a life long contract to lose weight.
That’s right, this program is life long. It means that the moment you start on this program, you can never back out ever again. Of course, life long doesn’t sound that bad.
After a few months, this program will become your secondary habit. It’s going to change you and it’s going to help you. You’re going to feel healthier and your body is going to become fit, slim, and firm. Once you start seeing results, you won’t even want to go back to your past self.
So this chapter is going to focus entirely on what you can’t do and what you shouldn’t do during your weight loss period. Discard any previous diet plans that you have had before away into the trash and from your mind.
The fact that it hasn’t been working gives you a sign that it shouldn’t be bothered with. All those pills and expensive food subscriptions that tell you how you can lose weight are all wrong.
This is your body that you want to change. Any program that will allow you to lose weight at a quick rate will not work for a long time because change requires time. Therefore, this program will be based mainly on time and food.
What we will be going over in this chapter are the rules of the diet game. This will be an important section because rules are necessary for success. That’s probably why you didn’t succeed with your previously diet plan, because it didn’t have proper rules that you had to abide to.
However, before that, we will be taking a look at the type of people that you see everywhere in the streets. If you think that other skinny people are unfair, then you are in for a real treat as to why they are what they are.
Finally, we will end the chapter with the myth game. Myths are always fun to read simply because it clears up any form of misunderstandings that you’ve had before or any additional questions that you’ve never had answered. So, with these topics ready to go, let’s start.
Types of Skinnies
Any overweight person would be jealous of any underweight person. However, any underweight person would be jealous of any overweight person. It’s kind of funny how that process works doesn’t it? The issue with those who are overweight is that they are trying hard to lose weight.
Whereas, the issue with those who are underweight is that they are trying to gain weight. Now you’re probably wondering, “If they’re already skinny, why do they want to be fatter?
