Tell your fat friend that with her looks, they should put a statue of her in a museum … this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_of_Willendorf ! You’ll get rid of her in a jiffy!

Here is the way to deal with yours.

This is a lesson that anyone who had to drag his ass through a college course on physiology will recognize. (Makes ya wonder why there are so many fat doctors and nurses, don’t it?) This is not new. William Banting published a how to do it guide in the 1860s, which is still in print and available as a free download: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Banting

I eat this way when I’m on top of my game. It works for me.

How to Burn the Most Fat Through Ketosis.

I’m 40 now.  I’ve been using their method for over a year.  I lost 25 pounds in the first 2 months w/o exercise.  I was at my target weight in 4 months.  I have maintained my weight and lowered my body-fat while increasing muscle mass in the months since.  I feel like I did in my 20’s.  It is amazing.

Their approach is hormone regulation.  I fast for at least 16 hours every 24.  This means that I eat from 3pm to 10:30-11pm.  I avoid carbs early, and avoid sugars at night.  I now work out 5 times a week; but I lost the weight before I started hitting the gym.

It was hard for me at first, because I hate hunger.  The really great thing about the program, is that after just 2 weeks of sticking to the plan, the hunger is completely gone.  I haven’t experienced hunger in months.  I have to set my phone alarm to remind me it is time to eat.  It is the best way to live.  I don’t have to count calories; I just eat healthy.

I continually recommend it to all my dad-bod friends.  So far, they won’t try it.  It sounds too scary.  They see the results it has had on my life, but still won’t give it a shot.  Baffling.  Their wives notice though.  Promise you that.

That is great! Do right for your body, and it’s amazing how well things work out.

About your friends, I have noticed the same thing. I have known obese diabetics who would rather die than give up junk food, etc, etc. Don’t let them suck you in. Keep on doing what is right for you, and keep on Going Your Own Way.

And, in related news … I was reading this the other day:

Mediterranean Diet with Olive Oil, Nuts Linked to Healthier Brain

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/mediterranean-diet-with-olive-oil-nuts-linked-to-healthier-brain/

“The group following a Mediterranean diet with supplemental nuts had significant improvements in memory, while the group adding extra virgin olive oil experienced significantly better cognitive function.”

That is really good to know.  I eat olive oil every day with my hummus.  wonder if hummus counts as a nut.  no matter, I just put mixed nuts on the groc list.  thanks for the link mate.

Keep daily carbs low 100g ish and only from vegetable sources if you can (get rid of grains, rice, pasta etc). Go easy on the fruit. Keep protein high and fat moderately high.

Cardio – don’t run for miles, try a day or two each week of sprints. Hard as you can 6 to 10 sprints full effort. Rest and repeat if you can. I’ve thrown up afterwards on occasions so try and do it in the mornings before eating.

Weights – heavy. Squats, deadlifts, chest press, shoulder press, pull ups etc. Twice a week lifting is fine but go heavy to shock your system.

As you get older and everything slows down, testosterone drops, it’s more important to look at the quantity and source of carbs you eat and to do the heavy big movements to give your testosterone a boost.

I ate all sorts of crap in my 20’s and just can’t do that now. Meat, plants and fats in your 30’s and up.

* If it is white, it is not right (outside of maybe califlour): Milk, yogurt, flour, sugar, etc… are all white, and have sugars or low complex carbs to them.

* If it is sweet, don’t eat. Yes, you avoid fruits when trying to lose weight.

* Don’t eat anything that can go in a cake (ok, maybe Zuccini). Again, see the white is not right.  Maybe some nuts, but you get the idea.

* Drink enough water.

* Don’t eat at fast food places.

The kicker is coming off this.  I dropped 4 pounds a week doing low carb and a daily walk. This was back when. I need to get back to that.

I have eaten in fast food joints when necessity demanded — I avoid them whenever possible. If I get stuck with a burger, then I discard the bun and opt for a salad in place of fries or do without. I’ll get unsweetened ice tea in place of soda drinks. In more upscale places, I order things like a chef’s salad or an omelette.

Everything in this article agrees with Dr Berg’s video. Get past the lurid writing — the article is made up of good science.
