calories/day? It would still take 70 days , and I bet you a million dollars you'd g ain it all back.
My point?
The only limit on how quickly humans can put on weight is how much food they can poke down in 24 hours — and the sky is just about the limit there. But, the reverse is not true. There is a limit to how much weight can be lost per day. Even if you push it to the extreme (which is not advocated because it won't last and is sometimes dangerous), the weight won't come off as fast as you can put it on. It just won't.
So what can you do? Throw a fit? Sure, but you’ll still be heavy. Give up and eat a gallon of frozen ice cream surrender ? Now you’re even heavier. Besides would you beat your broken leg for not healing fast enough?
How about be ing patient? Just b e content today and revel in the progress you HAVE made. The weight loss will come.
Final Thoughts
Did this little book make you angry? Make you laugh? Help you start to change?
I hope all of the above – even the angry part – ‘cause it means I’m getting through. I tell my clients “h ate me now, love me later. That’s OK . ”
Regardless , now you know. All there is to losing weight is a daily, caloric deficit. No magic. No crazy gadgets. No insane amount of money. You can’t claim ignorance any longer. I’ve taken that card off your table, along with claims to slow metabolisms, genetics and zoological misalignments.
If you aren’t losing weight, and you know you need to (you know), then you gotta go look in the mir ror. Step up and own it. Don’t hate yourself. Don’t play the victim. Just admit that there’s some room for improvement and start improving. It might be two steps forward and one step back for a while. That’s fine. It’s still one step forward.
If you can’t be OK with that, then just stay fat.
