Indeed I am strange...my wife was 300lb when she started the diet.The Atkins diet,may i say,where you eat only chickens and fat-less stakes.Which is an insane diet,no wonder Atkins himself died from a heart-attack.Anyway..so I was spending about 700$ a week just for her new diet.She eat every bit of meat around..boiled,rosted,at the oven and even raw.Of course,the more meat you eat,the more you loose weight,since the proteins don't metabolize in fat...they are split in amino-acids and either used or eliminated thru the kidneys function(ureic acids)..I reckon this is a sure-fire way to get cancer,since while you get the B-complex vitamins from meat,you lack the very important C vitamins complex(which is the only vitamin besides the B12 who is not produced in the body...all the others are produced and you can get away with it)
And no,you can't shove a vitamin C pill and think you are ok...why is that?..because the C vitamin complex(it's not only one) it's particulary related to the calcium/potasium metabolism of the body.Which happens to be the main ingredients for the heart to function,for God's sake!...if no C from vegetables ,your bones will become in time like hollow bamboos sticks!!.Calcium in NOT metabolized in the blood stream withouth a healthy C vitamins from vegetables(I preffer mustard..2 spoons a day gets you all the C you need for the day)
Anyway...how is fat produced?..When you eat any carbohidrates like bread,for example...it's being automaticly split in sugar..which the liver needs to use for the body to function.However...too much sugar in the blood-stream is poison,and THANK GOD for the pancreas..releases insuline.Insuline is a powerful hormone,it's about the same strenght as adrenaline.That's WHY you feel drowsy after you eat too much..it's like you get a shot in the arm of adrenaline..
.first you get a high,then a low,like a cocaine addict..lol(I never done cocaine,but I assume from looking around)
This powerful hormon,insuline...transforms the sugar in fat.It must do it,otherwise you'd be dead,since sugar is a poison running loose in the body..see?
So insuline takes the sugar out...then you get hungry...and eat more..then insuline takes it out,and you get more hungrier.Low sugar in the blood makes you hungry.
The sensation of,,hunger,, of course it's an illusion in this case,since it's the pancreas deciding for you...the insuline,to be more precise.
To make couple points..
1.Eating fats don't make you fat.Fats are not autonomous transformed in fat in your belly...they are transformed in energy(sub-atomic burning).the surplus then is reconverted and/or eliminated.
2.carbs make you fat,since sugar is a poison in high levels..your nervous system will collapse,you'll feel tremmors in the limbs..and die like a dog...so the insuline transforms it in fat,to save your life.
3.proteins don't make you fat...the body has wisdom,to transform a protein in fat would be a huge task to perform,and the body is very wise..If I was the body,why I 'd take the task of transforming an aminoacid,burn it,then pick up the left overs and transform it in triglicerides(fat)..it don't makes sense.
4.the key is to understand how the insuline works..insuline will make you hungry,and it has almost the same formula as adrenaline(acelitil-choline-it;s a right handed hidrogen ...actually it looks like the nore-adrenaline,which is the one whom controlls your brain moods functions..well..one of them)
5.you want to loose weight?..don't eat carbs.Refined carbs i mean.Eliminate for 2 weeks,and check it.No rice,bread,noodles,cookies,no carbs.Your body will need the sugars to function,so it'll use the fats and transform them on energy.
6.live on a mustard diet.That will give you all the C you need,without the bother of shoving up cucumbers,lettuces and god knows up your mouth.
7..I love you
