3 steps is too many for me... I'll stick with 2:
1. Eat less
2. Move more
If you need a 3rd step then add in eat gelato
If we want to get crazy and add a fourth step, please put in *eat all the macaroons* OP.0 -

There are many ways to lose a lot of weight in a short amount of time.
However, most of them require you to be hungry and unsatisfied.
If you don’t have iron willpower, then hunger will cause you to give up on these plans quickly.
The 3-step plan outlined here will:
Kill your appetite.
Make you lose weight fast, without being hungry.
Improve your health at the same time.
Step 1 – Eliminate Sugars and Starches
The most important part is to remove sugars and starches (carbs) from your diet.
These are the foods that stimulate secretion of insulin the most. If you didn’t know already, insulin is the main fat storage hormone in the body.
When insulin goes down, fat has an easier time getting out of the fat stores and the body starts burning fats instead of carbs.
Another benefit of lowering insulin is that your kidneys shed excess sodium and water out of your body, which reduces bloat and unnecessary water weight (1, 2).
It is not uncommon to lose up to 10 pounds (sometimes more) in the first week of eating this way, both body fat and water weight.
This is a graph from a study comparing low-carb and low-fat diets in overweight/obese women (3).
The low-carb group is eating until fullness, while the low-fat group is calorie restricted and hungry.
Cut the carbs, lower your insulin and you will start to eat less calories automatically and without hunger (4).
Put simply, lowering your insulin puts fat loss on “autopilot.”
So many...
Oh dear. *face palm*
...um...0 -
The other steps in this plan are:
2. Have a protein, fat and (low) carb source at each sitting
3. Exercise 3-4 times a week
4. (optional) have a carb refeed every week
The OP didn't credit the original article but I have posted the link previously in the thread. It wasn't hard to find...0 -

This is pretty much all nonsense. Protein stimulates insulin and so does exercise.. soo....
And if you do have some sort of metabolic iffy-ness going on due to obesity, exercise can be a more effective solution than changing your eating habits.0 -

I've already done the reading. That's why I know she's wrong.
Can we please stop over-complicating something that's dead simple? It's hard enough to do without mixing in mystery science.0 -

You don't need to force your body into ketosis to lose weight. Period.
Do you feel better now?0 -

The most egotistical a holes alive reside on MFP.
If your low carb diet works for you, great. If your balanced diet works, also great. If eating rocks out of your driveway works for you, F'n Great!
But piss off on jumping on here and either claiming your way is the only way, or denigrating someone else's way because it's different from yours.
It's not about her diet. It's about her logic for why it is working. It's perpetuation of misinformation.0 -

No one ever said that their way was the only way, nor did they deny that this works for her. People had issues with her "logic."0 -

Didn't you know that MFP really stands for "Mocking Fitness 'Pals'?" True story.
Clever gifs trump science any day of the week, right?0
