Seen the weight thing come up a few times now.
Will share what I've learned.

Step 1: stop consuming poison.

-Do not eat anything containing high fructose corn syrup, anything which has the words hydrogenated or brominated, artificial sweeteners, maltodextrin, margarine, soy/soy products, or any type of pork.
-Do not eat anything which you can't be sure of the ingredients.
-Try not to eat anything which has ingredients you couldn't easily explain to a 6 year-old.
-Limit meat consumption.

Unfortunately, this wipes out much of what you'll find in a grocery store and almost everything you'll find in a restaurant.

Step 2: Do eat plenty of soluble fiber.
-Oatmeal is an easy way to do this.

Step 3: Sweat.
-Whatever type of exercise you do, make sure to sweat.
-Saunas work, too.


Notice that calories, fats, protein, carbs, cardio, etc. have not been mentioned.
Not completely sure why it works, it just does.

The theory I've heard is that fat storage has much to do with an inflammation response.
Reducing poison consumption and cleaning out poisons (soluble fiber, sweating) is supposed to enable your body to reduce excess fat.

Not a doctor, so I can't vouch for the validity of the theory.
The people I've known who follow the guidelines always get good results.

So long as it's not on the "do not eat" list, I eat what, when, and as much as is wanted.
Lately been getting the majority of my calories from seeds/nuts.

Sometimes consume 1500 calories worth of pistachios or cashews just for a snack.
Weight is staying down and body fat percentage is still dropping.

Good luck, HTH.
