I would like for you to inform me how your body using more energy to process/digest food would actually cause people to gain weight. That's ignoring all of your other conspiracy theories/pseudoscience.0 -
Site your sources ?
Why would I need sources when it works over a vey long period? Boy, you sound like FBI director Mearing from Transformers III who just thinks about paperwork in a crisis!
How this works is not rocket science. It’s logic and based on personal, empirical data -experience. And it’s backed up from here all the way to Washington DC! If you don’t believe me, I’m willing to do a lie-detector test!
Maybe you’re cravin for an example. Let’s have one. Suppose you eat chicken curry every day for supper. I do. I love it. I know what you’re thinking, eating the same every day is boring. My wife agrees with you and she’s gaining. I’m not. And who cares when the food is delicious! Eating the same meals everyday has another advantage. After a while, you know exactly what effect the amount of ingredients has on your body. If you eat different meals every day, you don’t know what to blame if you discover that you have gained a pound.
Now, let’s say you’ve been throwing 500 grams of chicken in your daily supper, 150 mm of coconut milk (the full one, trimmed coconut milk just gives you diarrhea), 2 spoons of olive oil, some vegetables and half a packet of curry sauce. The food is so delicious that when you finish you still can eat more, so you have an ice cream after.
You now feel energized! so you go out for a 30 minute walk. When you come back you do some stuff on the computer.
Okay, this has made you gain a pound. So what do you do tomorrow? Just eat vegetables? No! You eat 400 grams chicken. Your body’s not going to know the difference. For the rest you eat like yesterday: 150 mm of coconut milk, a sauce with a different flavor for some variation, 2 spoons of olive oil and, oh heck, some other vegetables (oh, those veggies they’re all the same, it doesn’t matter what kind you pick it will hardly have any effect on your weight!) and an ice cream after. You go out for a 30 minute walk and surf the net for celebrities who are even fatter than you!
Next morning the scale tells you you gained 400 grams. You panic!
No, I’m just kidding, you never panic. You actually now are on the right track. You lost 100 grams less than yesterday! Victory! To celebrate that, you go back to eating 500 grams of chicken tomorrow night, and your body will thank you for it so that the next morning your scale says that you lost 500 grams and you’re back at your starting weight.
No kidding, it works just like that. Now put in some extra potatoes and walk an hour instead of 30 minutes, I’m sure the weight comes of even more. But you don’t want that, otherwise you’ll end up just looking scrawny. Come on, you’re a man. Or a woman with curves!
Grams ? You mean lbs.0 -

When are people on this site going to stop telling everyone that they're "doing it wrong" unless you're "doing it" their way???? Seriously. Let it go, OP. Your way worked/works for you. Awesome. High fives all around. Couldn't be happier for you.
Your way isn't how I did it, and yet, my way worked/works for me. I've been doing it "my way" for almost a year, and granted, I've only been on maintenance for four, almost five months. So maybe a year from now I'll be crying the blues and wondering why I didn't do it "your way".
Perhaps you could have titled the topic "how I did it" and shared your experience, rather than just telling everyone you have discovered THE way to get to an optimal weight and everyone who isn't doing it your way is doing it wrong. Honestly I didn't even read your whole post because I was instantly put off by the notion that you've discovered THE way to lose weight. And I don't even see any letters after your name anywhere to indicate your expert status in the area of nutrition and health. Or maybe that was somewhere in the part I didn't bother reading....
I congratulate you on achieving your goals. Your way clearly is working for you. My only suggestion is maybe to recognize that there's more than one way to do this and your way isn't THE way....0 -

Can't speak to the theory of eating the same thing every day except to say I couldn't do it. Wouldn't even want to try. But as to Sams's post, I agree that food additives in our food hurt us, and our kids. Eating fresh as often as possible is my goal, but it's not always possible. I have to rely or canned or frozen veggies at times, rinse them well and pray for the best. What I can't do any more is obsess over every morsel that passes my lips. I can make the best choices, exercise, track my food and remind myself when the scale doesn't budge fast enough that I'm doing the right things, for ME. I feel better, more in control of my health and my life when I'm actively working to control my weight.0

PLEASE DO NOT CORRECT MY POST... it took me everybit of 3 - 4 minutes to put this together for the readers... I'm human. i make mistakes.... I can't type as fast as i think.. and my mind goes 200mph...
lolI don't know where you get your info, but you are very incorrect... You can train your body to not be hungry by eating less.(THE DOWNFALL IS YOU GAIN WEIGHT).. If you change your eating habits and eat often, ie.. every 3 hrs, you will be hungry sooner than later..... Tricking you body comes from putting the right food in your system... The only thing you could trick you body into would be Keotosis. But that comes with a very strict low car diet and systematically increasing carbs. The only downfall to this diet (There has yet to be a person to prove Dr. Atkins incorrect - That's why it's still used in every hospital in the U.S. Today!) is the loss of muscle along with fat. The Atkins diet is probably one of the easiest diets to do and you loose extreme amount of weight. Eating correctly and often keeps your body from going into starvation. Loosing weight is easy... The formula easy... garbage in, garbage out... and making the necessary caloric adjustments for any exercise in between. People need to stop setting GOALS. YES I SAID IT....SETTING GOALS ARE STUPID. What happens 90% of the time when you get to a goal....YOU QUIT WHEN YOU ACHIEVE IT.. Being healthy is A LIFE STYLE. For those of us who do not have the genetics for it and have to constantly work at it... Being thin for us is a complete life style change.
Do you know why people gain wait from eating out????? Because of all the **** that the FDA has been feeding us for YEARS....Yes... I said it.. it's not a conspiracy... Its fact! Why is it that in the early 40-50-60's it was healthy to eat bread? Why because MAN had not touched it...and what I mean by touched it is Genetically Engineering it to produce more crop.... Did you people know that the WHEAT plant has about 53 extra chromosomes that GOD (or the maker of the heavens and earth is - who ever that person is to you) did not intend for our body's to process...These are called SYNTHETICS. They are items that are synthesized and are not naturally produced.. for ie... all food that is processed.... canned beans,corn . . . everything. The body up digesting these synthetics CAN NOT process these items efficiently and what happens is you body starts concentrating all its efforts in trying to process that food.. What does that do... Makes you gain weight because it's expending all it's energy trying to rid of the **** you put into it... Why is it that all athlete or models or fitness guru's eat healthy... Because they know this... If you people really want to loose weight... Stop eating out and start making your own meals from food that you get from farmers markets etc... you want food that doesn't have all the junk in it... If you just changed that. . . .. .JUST YOUR FOOD.... you will loose weight... YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORK OUT TO LOOSE WEIGHT...YES I SAID IT....all trainers try to do is make $$$$$$ off us by feeding us **** about how important working out is... IT'S BULL****.... YES I SAID IT BULL****! the real formula for having the model physique and being cut is 90% DIET 10% EXCESSIVE!.......
I invited any educated challenge to disprove post..

No Dr. Mearing, I mean grams. I think after eating 400 lbs of chicken one could lay eggs...Grams ? You mean lbs.0 -

Chicken curry (or something else) every damn day for the rest of your life. Every...single...day! What is matter with you? Not sustainable over the long haul, unless you live on a deserted island. Hopefully one with coconuts.0

well done to everyone who managed to follow this thread. I was keeping up for a while.....but then I got confused.............and then I couldn't remember what I'd read previously.
