To lose adipose tissue while building or preserving as much lean tissue as possible.
Weight loss is extremely difficult and requires getting around the body's natural abilities of energy storage.
Obesity is a bacterial infection of the gut plain and simple. You can take the gut bacteria of a skinny mouse and implant it in an obese mouse... and watch the obese mouse become skinny over a few weeks and vice versa.
Weight loss isn't counting calories or burning calories, that's not how our bodies work.
Allow me to blow your mind a bit...
BACTERIA consume 80% of the calories that we eat. Out of the 20% that are left, the brain and gonads get the lion's share of that. What ever small amount of calories that are left over are used for building blocks. In turn, the bacteria provide us with synthesized short and medium chain fatty acids, amino acids, nutrients and chemical compounds vital to our survival.
EVERYTHING you knew about nutrition was false and a joke. We don't stoke a furnace with heat in the form of calories, we feed colonies of gut bacteria (that outnumber our human cells 1000 to 1) that in turn, provide us with life sustaining sustenance.
Some bacterial colonies are not so helpful and are the cause of disease and ill health... in fact, when our gut bacterial colonies are populated with "good" and beneficial bacteria, we are in GOOD health. When colonies of "bad" bacteria infest our guts, we experience ill health. Obesity is just a particular "bad" bacterial colonization... and until the bacteria is dealt with, the obesity will not cease but increase over time.
1). The good news is that you can FRONT LOAD your calories by eating most of them at breakfast. this feeds the "good" bacteria and not the "bad".
2). Exercise has some weird mechanism of emboldening the "good" bacteria and diminishing the "bad" bacteria. When you lose weight by exercising, you aren't "burning fat", you are shifting the bacterial populations in your gut towards the "good" bacteria.
3). Eat fiber. Fiber is one of the preferred foods of the "good" bacteria.
4). Avoid sugar because sugar is one of the preferred foods of the "bad" bacteria. We get fat eating sugar by feeding the "bad" bacteria who increase their colony numbers until they infest the gut.
5). Fat is your friend. ALL fat is your friend, there are no good fats or bad fats... they are ALL good. Obviously trans fats are an unhealthy but stable form of lipid molecules that should be avoided but outside of trans fats, most fats are REALLY good for us.
6). Animal fat is EXTREMELY important and a good level of dietary cholesterol intake is essential for getting around the body's intrinsic energy storage patterns.
7). Flor-a-stor has been proven to kill the "bad" gut bacteria while leaving the "good" bacteria unharmed... this is a smart weapon in the battle against "bad" bacteria
