“I know, it seems obvious, the first principle to lose weight is to eat less but we can do it intelligently …”
To lose weight, you must first eat less; All those who claim the contrary are mistaken; and above all are lying to you! The temptation would be to start fasting first. It makes sense, but not very smart. Your body is much more accustomed to starvation than you are. You will often hear me repeat, throughout these councils, that we are precisely the survivors of the famines of the prehistory, and that in a few hundred generations, our brains, our cells, imagined very sophisticated scenarios to allow us to survive. These emergency procedures are imprinted in our DNA, this intimate bar code, building plan of every body.
The body knew how to tame starvation… A situation not fully mastered, unfortunately because we are not as efficient as the groundhog which can winter for months…
We, our reaction which allows man to go several weeks without eating, is to “self-consume”; And we devour everything! Our reserves of sugar and fat, of course, but also of muscle, and not always in the right order. This is the reason why, even with keeping the drink, hunger strikes are so painful and above all dangerous.
To lose weight, you must first eat less.
