No, this is just an example. The 'trick' is to change one thing that you control and that your body is not noticing.So the trick is 100 grams difference in chicken? Serious question.
Let me share some assumptions:
1. the main factor of weight loss/gain is food. Not cardio, not lifting, not sex.
2. everybody has a standard of maintenance.
3. changing this standard has an effect on your weight.
4. your body tries to adapt to the change so that the change becomes the new standard
5. by eating more if we gain and eating less if we lose we fool our body and thus be in control
Example:
Eat less - lose
Eat less - lose
Eat less - lose
Eat less - plateau
Eat more - gain
Eat more - gain
Eat more - plateau
Eat more - lose
Eat less - lose even more
Eat less - lose
etc.
It's like talking 3 steps forward and taking 2 back, or once in a while taking 4 back. Yes it's slow but it's progressively effective. As long as YOU know what you change, and your body doesn't.
Ohhhhhhh.
Why didn't you just say that to begin with?
Wasted my limited mental energy on chicken curry and crazy parfaits. (Which will be tomorrow's dinner, no doubt!)
Ditto.
I don't mean to be mean, OP- but I really had a hard time understanding your point behind the presentation.
I know I had to chose between clarity and ambiguity. Had I chosen to be clearer from the start, we wouldn't have 5 pages of comments, there would be less entertainment and we would not have known about crazy parfaits! My apologies for that.0 -
dafuq did I just read?
I just spit my water out laughing. True story.0 -
Let's agree to disagree. It's a matter of tracking, not thinking about food all day long.

The above requires a lot of thinking about your food which flies in the face of the third sentence of your OP.Lowering your daily calorie intake makes you think about food. A lot. Thinking about food a lot makes you hungry.0 -
Yeah, I'm still confused.
Can someone explain to me what the OP's "secret" is? All I'm getting is chicken curry and a 30 minute walk...
Every day for the rest of your life.

Tracking is exactly what I do now and I don't find myself thinking about food all the time. I think about it right before I eat it, as I eat it and when I log it, then I go about the rest of my daily activities.
We agree, it's a matter of tracking.0 -

Is it me, or does every item in those parfaits looks as if it were made of plastic? That doesn't even look like real food! :noway:
They are plastic since they are displays. The price tags give it away. They wouldn't continually keep making them as they melted just so people could see what they looked like.0 -

No, I'm eating averagely above it. Look, I once dated 4 girls at the same time and none of them believed me either. One of them had bad eye sight and one had problems with reading graphs… but what they all had in common was the pre-assumption that I HAD to be wrong. Well, turned out that they actually were only one girl with MPD, so I stopped bothering to debate all together.Here's the science:
Oh I get it. You're eating below your maintenance calories so you're losing weight.
Awesome.
And this little anecdote is adding to your credibility HOW?

You think? I think you should try to be sure.
No Dr. Mearing, I mean grams. I think after eating 400 lbs of chicken one could lay eggs...Grams ? You mean lbs.0 -
Maybe he's a minimalist blogger. Lots of them make money selling ebooks and they live in hotels with only a backpack of belongings.Yeah, I'm still confused.
Can someone explain to me what the OP's "secret" is? All I'm getting is chicken curry and a 30 minute walk...
I think you have to buy the ebook for $9.99.0 -

I feel I'm obligated to help the less fortunate so let me share a story…Every day for the rest of your life.
I had a neighbor once who ate differently every day, three times a day. He kept changing it so much that his habit became a routine in itself. One day he confided to me that he could never eat a same meal because otherwise his life would be even more boring! So I suggested he take a break from his dull existence. And so he moved to Thailand!
And the food? Everyday Khao Neow Moo Ping he wrote in his last email. He did not further explain what that is, too focused and busy with his new life filled with all kinds of beauties - both women AND men!
Now, would this guy have doubted my advice? He still would be the fat bore from next door he was three years ago. Never question my food again!0 -
