Intermittent Fasting for Women and Men

You have always known it.

You have always realized it.

Every single time you tried some ridiculous fad diet you knew you were doomed to fail.

You tired them anyway.  Why?

You tried because that's why you do.  You try. 

You're not a quitter and you had no other options.

You wanted to lose some weight and those commercials and all the hype seemed show people succeeding where you had failed.  (You ignored that little disclaimer at the bottom of the screen that reads, 'Paid professional actors')

Weeks go by even several months and everyday this stupid diet is on your mind.  It interferes with your life and if you've lost any significant weight at all, you are starving for the good foods you've been denying yourself.  You know in your heart that you'll never be able to give them up for the rest of your life and as soon as you go back to your old ways, your old weight is going to pile back on. 

What is it that you've always known?

Simple.  You've always known that you cannot lose weight unless you stop eating.

It's a simple formula:

CALORIES EATEN  –  CALORIES BURNED = (FAT STORED OR FAT BURNED)

You must burn more than you eat to lose weight.  You know it's true. 

You've tested the opposite of that theory.  That big bowl of ice cream during a weekend NETFLIX binge.  ( 2000 calories eaten – 10 calories burned going to the kitchen to get it = +1990 net calories)  One pound of fat is about 3500 calories, so that one bowl of ice cream put over a half pound on you by itself, and who eats just one bowl of ice cream right?  Then there's the soda, then there's the chips.  Sunday night as you put yourself to bed you swear to yourself that tomorrow MONDAY you're starting that new fad diet you've been reading about.

There's only one way to lose weight and keep it off and that is you have to stop eating so that you become hungry.  Hunger pains are the body's way of telling you that you are burning fat.  If you're never hungry then you'll never lose weight by losing fat.
