time of plenty, the body’s tendency remains the same: to store fat for times of famine or want.
That’s why going on any form of severely restrictive diet usually backfires: it triggers the body’s biologically programmed tendency to store fat. Severe calorie restriction, fasting, or subsisting on juices gives your body the message that a food emergency lies ahead, creating a boomerang effect. When you return to normal eating, you find that your body stubbornly rebuilds its fat stores, ready for another crisis. This is the boom-and-bust cycle unwittingly engineered by other weight-loss programs. It’s the reason why prolonged fasts and cleanses do not result in long-term weight loss or overall well-being. Instead, severe calorie restriction leads to fat conservation , hunger, and bingeing , as the body desperately seeks to obtain and retain needed nutrients.
When you nourish yourself well, impose a healthy (but not too harsh) discipline, and exercise, your body will start to feel confident that it can let go of that extra weight it’s been carrying around for a rainy day. Follow our path, and you’ll find successful weight loss ahead.
Our Three Diet Plans
All three Eat Fat, Lose Fat plans emphasize a balanced approach to eating, in order to provide your body with all the key nutrients it needs.
• Quick and Easy Weight Loss offers two phases, which provide health benefits along with weight loss in an easy-to-follow diet that minimizes time spent in food preparation for those on the go. Most people lose weight just by eating the recommended amount of coconut oil (along with other healthy fats) and cutting out unhealthy fats on Phase One, a moderate-calorie diet. If you still need to shed additional stubborn pounds, Phase Two is a more calorie-restricted (but still very satisfying) program.
• Health Recovery provides intensive health benefits, using greater quantities of coconut and other health-promoting foods in a highly nutritious diet that’s more easily digestible for people with serious health problems such as hormonal imbalance, chronic fatigue, irritable bowel syndrome, and hypothyroidism.
• Everyday Gourmet is a complete ongoing maintenance diet that the whole family will love. It offers health benefits with a wider repertory of delicious traditional foods.
Quick and Easy Weight Loss in particular emphasizes four Core Principles that will help you attain health and release excess weight in a natural, nondisruptive way. They are as follows:
Eat three meals per day, and always eat breakfast;
Include traditional fats, especially coconut oil;
Consume nutrient-dense foods, particularly those supplying calcium and vitamins A and D;
Restrict calories moderately.
These Core Principles provide a synergistic environment that spurs weight loss, because this diet plan will communicate to your body
that you have safely released it from the feast-or-famine cycle;
that you will be providing it with what it needs, no more—but no less, either.
In response, your body will give you what you need—a slimmer, trimmer look, good health, and an abundance of energy. Imagine what it would be like to be in a stable, mutually satisfying, long-term relationship—with your very own body!
Why Diets with Healthy Fats Help You Lose Weight
The Zone and Atkins weight-loss diets have been popular because they provide adequate amounts of protein and, in the case of the original Atkins diet, plenty of saturated fats. However, on our weight-loss plan, you’ll be eating a more balanced, well-rounded diet, consisting of a wider variety of higher-quality foods without the difficult restrictions on fat that characterize the Zone diet or the extreme limitation of carbohydrates of the Atkins diet. Our moderate-calorie diet adds the magic ingredient of coconut oil to kick-start your metabolism. We feature moderate protein (less than Atkins), lots of vegetables, small amounts of whole grains, and a wide variety of healthy fats, with
