    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.

    I feel I'm obligated to help the less fortunate so let me share a story…

    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!

    This thread has multiple layers of crazy, like a crazy parfait.

    With a side of word salad. And a bonus thread jacking.

    This morning my 12 week Challenge meal plan said Muesli and Protein Powder with yoghurt.

    Hmmm... didn't really appeal to me.

    So I had toast with ham, eggs and baby spinach instead. My body said thank you and so I think the trick worked.

    No rabbit in a hat required. I must be getting good at this.

    So I googled "crazy parfait" for the shiggles. First picture:

    %252435+Crazy+Big+Parfait.jpg

    You're welcome.

    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:

    Looks like plastic to me as well.

    It's not about magic at all, I don't get why people are raving about magicians and hats and rabbits (I talked about chicken by the way, not any other animals)…
    Magicians trick an audience, I am merely talking about tricking your body which is much easier and does not require special skills!

    Just try this for once: stand in the front of a mirror and tell yourself that you are in control. YOU, not your body, not your mind. Have you ever done this? Well, I have. And you know what I noticed? That I had forgotten to shave and that that didn't look all too bad on me.

    I'm pretty sure this is the best executed troll thread I have EVER seen. 7 pages in and not one person has cried troll. Great work, OP.

    So the trick is 100 grams difference in chicken? Serious question.
    No, this is just an example. The 'trick' is to change one thing that you control and that your body is not noticing.

    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.

    You realize that the body recognizes and utilizes food through a series of complex biochemical signals and hormone changes and not by a cognitive function, right? You can't "fool" your body into not utilizing all of the calories you consume when scarfing a whole pizza by saying to your stomach "now listen body, this is really only the one piece. Got it? It's just the one piece, I swear." It'd be like gluing some carrot sticks to your hamburger and expecting your body to be confused into only using the calories from the vegetables.
