I'm not here today to tell you how to DIET ~ I'm actually going to try to do the exact opposite. I intend to convince you that you never need to diet again. Then, if I do my job today, you will understand that you can create a lifestyle in which food is simply a small part and in which eating and losing weight no longer have control over you.
Reason #1: We eat too much food. According to recent studies, people underestimate the number of calories consumed by 25 to 50%.
Studies show again and again that we humans have a great tendency to underestimate what we have eaten during the day and tend to minimize the calories in the foods that we eat.
According to a study at Cornell University, everyone does it. "Normal weight" people underestimate calorie intake by about 20 percent, and overweight people underestimate by about 40 percent. Other sources say it's more like 50 percent.
Reason #2: We eat too often. The average person starts eating within 30 minutes to an hour of waking up and doesn't stop until 30 minutes to an hour before going to bed.
Based on the most recent data, the average person wakes up a 6am and goes to bed a little before midnight ~ that is 18 hours of being awake and based on the 30/30 ratio mentioned above, that is 17 hours of active feeding time which allows for less than 6 hours of complete fasting per day. The ratio is entirely backward.
Reason #3: We eat the wrong combination of foods. This one always shocks people. The first two are rather obvious, but this one requires a little science and understanding of how the body processes food. I promise to keep it simple and easy to understand.
Let's use the ZONE Diet as our example ~ but you could replace zone with about 95% of the others being crammed down your throat, and the data would be the same.
The Zone Diet prescribes that you consume 40% carbs, 30% protein, and 30% fat.
Here's the MAJOR flaw in this diet. They are prescribing two competing FUEL sources in virtually the same ratio.
Analogy:
The above-mentioned nutritional intake prescription would be equivalent to your mechanic telling you to go to the gas station and fill your car with half regular gasoline and half diesel.
Mind-blowing crazy, right!?!? Nobody would do that, and you'd fire your mechanic immediately because that would ruin your engine, and your car wouldn't run.
If you love the show, it would mean the world to me if you'd like it, share it, and review it. That's the only way I can help more people and continue to fulfill my mission of helping others overcome pain and start living a life of peaceful passion.
